Most of our guests were coming from out of town, so we wanted to share a part of Washington we really loved with them. We also really wanted to find a location where we would be able to spend the weekend with our guests, instead of just the wedding! Sun Mountain was perfect because we rented out all the cabins by Patterson Lake. It made it so we had the whole area to ourselves with most of our guests. We hosted a BBQ there instead of a traditional rehearsal dinner, had a yoga instructor come teach yoga to about 50 of our guests the morning of the wedding, partied after the wedding and had brunch there the morning after!

Geof Childs, our officiant, has a beautiful ceremony about marriage being an adventure! It fit Kevin and I so well, we only modified it a little and then added our own readings.
For the centerpieces, we used old climbing rope to tie monkey fist knots and then used those knots to hold wooden table names. We cut and stained wood for the table names, and painted the names of some of our favorite peaks we have climbed. Other DIY table decorations were photos of those climbs that we had printed on wood and cobalt blue vases that we gathered from Goodwill!
