Special Note
Although we love your little ones, this is an adult-only affair.
Transportation
We want to ensure that all of our guests make it safely to and from our wedding so we've hired a shuttle service from 5:30 pm-12:30 am. The pickup location will be at the Staybridge Suites and will be available to drop you back off at your room any time you wish throughout the night.
Hotel Blocks
We were lucky enough to find a dual property of hotels seven minutes out from the venue and got a crazy good deal. We have blocks on the Staybridge Suites in Plano and if you need a slightly more affordable option, you can stay right next door at the Holiday Inn Express. You will be able to move freely across both hotels for the duration of your stay.
our Story
Jason & Mikaela met online in 2015 when Jason sent a message with the corniest, sweetest pickup line... ever. Somehow it worked.... and a couple of months after talking decided to meet up for a date weekend in Seattle where they had dinner at the HardRock Cafe and went to a Mariner's game at Safeco Field.
It wasn't long after that they decided they were a perfect match and to give the long-distance relationship thing a try. After a few months, Jason made the leap to invite Mikaela to Tyler, Texas to meet the family where she was welcomed with open arms.
After a year of long-distance dating, Mikaela was tired of working and commuting in Downtown Seattle and decided to pack up her life and move to the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Poor Jason had been living in Oroville, WA, a tiny border town in North Central Washington and it is.... scary.
Five years later they are sadly still in the area but have found a sense of normalcy by escaping to Canada, traveling the globe, and making the best of being homebodies together. Even though they didn't love their surroundings, they were able to quickly evolve and grow in their careers. Mikaela went from a marketing coordinator to a Director, to owning her own business. Jason went from being an officer to a Less Lethal instructor to recently accepting a new position as an NCIS Special Agent.
Jason's original plan was to propose to Mikaela on their 2020 trip to Europe and Africa. He thought he was going to get down on one knee in Seychelles but due to COVID-19, had to settle with popping the question in their living room on Valentine's Day 2021. Obviously, the rest is history.
Because New Year's Eve is Mikaela's favorite holiday of all time, we are choosing to tie the knot on December 31, 2021.
Please don't expect anything less than a PARTY. We hope to see you there.
