Trista & Alexander met in the the glorious summer of 2019. Some call this magical time “The Last Summer”. Sparks raged between them and they became an insufferably cute four-eyed cryptid that could be found grossing out their friends all over Portland, Oregon and beyond. Pandemics and academic deadlines did not crush their love and their powers grew stronger. They encouraged each other to learn and grow. They sang songs to the full moon.

One evening, Alexander took Trista to a local graveyard—as he often did. They walked together, stopping in front of a grave they knew well. It bore the inscription:

“Here we lie by consent after 57 years 2 months and 2 days sojourning through life awaiting nature’s immutable laws to return us back to the elements of the universe of which we were first composed.”

Alexander took his love’s hand and looked deep in her eyes, telling her how much she meant to him. He then got down on one knee and presented her with a ring, asking her to be his partner in love and adventure forever.

Now, they are ready to take the next step in their journey together, pledging their unwavering devotion to each other in front of their closest family and friends. The wedding ceremony will take place at the Wellspring Retreat and Spa in Ashford, Washington; a beautiful location nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest.
