Together in Oregon

This story begins, as so many before it, in a bar: A small wine bar, in a medieval city, in contemporary Europe.

Here we find a man sitting at the counter. He's enjoying a glass while engaged in conversation with other patrons. In the background local musicians are adding to the atmosphere.

A woman walks by and pauses in front of the establishment, curiosity peaked by what her ears percieve. She looks through the window and notices the smiling man and the empty chair next to him.

Six months later they are cruising the French countryside together: From the coast to Paris, and a cottage inbetween.

Spending New Year's Eve on the streets of Paris, camping under the largest trees in the world in California, driving through a snow storm in Iceland, being deafened by the end-of-the-year fireworks in Amsterdam, meeting family and friends on two continents. All good things.

And now it is time to write the next chapter in this beautiful story: A home for ourselves and a backyard wedding with those we hold dear.
