Jen & Andrew

Jen, 28, and Andrew, 29, met in 2008 while both played for an Underdog Dodgeball team. After a few team game nights together, they were pegged, and Andrew popped the question two years later on a surprise getaway to Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie. Andrew’s father, Duane, officiated their formal fall wedding, and the highlight of their evening was a special performance by friends Steve Fossen (the original bassist for Heart) and Somar Macek, who played classic Heart songs. Terra-cotta pot centerpieces were filled with herbs, purple pansies and kale and the DIY table numbers featured paper cutouts of countries the couple had been or would like to go to. Jen, a real estate broker, and Andrew, a customer service manager at a start-up in Bothell, live in Lynnwood with their mini Aussie, Fletcher. 

Favorite moment: “My favorite moment of the day was our first dance to Michael Bublé’s ‘Crazy Love,’ ” Jen says. “Andrew saved our first-ever slow dance for our wedding day!”
