Alanté and Jake's Wedding on 9/25/22 at Pelican Brewery in Pacific City, OR
Music licensed from - Musicbed
How did you guys meet?: We met the way almost all people under 40 meet…on Tinder! Cue Rihanna’s "We found love." Our first date lasted 6 hours, starting at a ramen shop and ending at a speakeasy. Date number two happened less than 24 hours after that—featuring spicy crawfish and a bar modeled after a double wide trailer. One pandemic, one home purchase, lots of adventures, and a year and a half later we’re engaged and getting married!
Tell us about the proposal!: After a few beers at Great Notion, one of our favorite breweries in Seattle. We talked about what we wanted for our future; which included getting married in the next year or so. Not long after that, we decided to go to Brilliant Earth to design the engagement ring. Once it came in the mail, Alanté didn’t want to take it off, and Jake officially proposed in the backyard; while we enjoyed our shake shack with Maya the dog as a witness.
Why did you choose your venue?: We always knew we wanted to do something on a beautiful location on the coast. We considered Italy, but the logistics of such an endeavor during COVID seemed too difficult. After some google searching, Jake found the Pelican. After seeing the Pelican once we put down a deposit because we loved the area so much.
What are you most excited to see in the video?: Alanté: Vows exchange and the party. Jake: Alanté’s vows and our first dance.
