OUR STORY
BEGINNINGS
First meeting while both working for Metropolitan Market, Arra and Joe quickly
bonded over their shared love of awful puns. After months of group board game nights (and one legendary
workplace christmas party), the sparks were flying.
Days turned to weeks turned to months, and Joe and Arra realized this was something
special. While on vacation in Oregon, they confessed thier love to each other. Love was in the air.
THE PROPOSAL
One day, shortly after returning from his sister Reneé's wedding, Joe decided he
wanted to marry Arra. He took her hand, told her how much he loves her, how he could spend every waking
moment with her and it stll wouldn't be enough(I know, barf barf), and how happy he would be to spend the
rest of his life with her. She agreed. They can't wait to build their lives together.
Located in the heart of Eastsound (the largest town on Orcas Island) with stunning
views overlooking Puget Sound, Odd Fellows
Hall has been hosting weddings and community gatherings for over 100 years. The ceremony
will be held on the back patio under the madrona trees overlooking the water, the reception inside the hall
with patio access so guests can continue to enjoy the absolutely gorgeous views.
