“I do” last March, right before the
coronavirus pandemic hit.
The couple exchanged vows on
the back patio of the Ocean Lodge in
Cannon Beach. The ceremony included
the couple, an officiant, a photographer
and a staff member of the hotel who acted as their second witness.

Joe said it had been a lifelong dream of Haley’s to have a small,
intimate, romantic ceremony.
“(I wanted a ceremony) where you aren’t worrying about what
other people are thinking, or having to accommodate other people,
where you can just be in the moment and enjoy the day,” Haley said.
Without having to worry about accommodating family and
friends, the two had endless options to choose how they wanted to
have a ceremony.
“All we needed was two people in a suit and a dress to get wherever
we were going,” Joe said.
“We love the
Oregon coast so it
was a no-brainer for
us to have our wedding
ceremony there.”
