Having gone through the process of having a wedding of my
very own, I now know, before almost anything else, the one thing you should
know is where you are getting married.
The location determined many, many things about the wedding. Almost everything that we had brought to this
place had to be adjusted to accommodate the venue.

Joseph
and I knew that after thirteen years together, we didn't want a traditional
wedding or a traditional location. We wanted
our wedding to take place in natural scenic beauty. We enjoy the splendor of western Washington. And, since we had to be married in our own
state, it made sense to us that we made our wedding into a destination treat for those members of our friends and family who were traveling to us. So instead of a church or a community hall,
we wanted to offer our guests a place to stay.

With
this in mind, Joseph set off in an internet search for a cabin that could accommodate
many people and a large gathering. We
found a likely place, scheduled a viewing, and then sort of forgot about
it. We went to visit Joseph’s parents
one weekend. They offered us their house
and back yard for our upcoming nuptials.
Well, this would be a perfect solution.
We would have the natural beauty that surrounded their house with only a
few tents and space heaters to rent. We
said we would talk about it, and fell to deciding this would be perfect. But we remembered we had the cabin rental to
go and view the following Saturday.
Having nothing better to do, we thought a drive up to Snoqualmie would be
fun, so we kept the appointment.

And
that’s all it took. This cabin, overlooking
Lake Kachess, had to be our wedding site.
After one look, there was no going to a backyard wedding. This was the place.
