We'll be getting married on the weekend of September 3-6, 2021
at NatureBridge on the Olympic Peninsula.
We are so excited!!! And we know you are too!!! However, we recognize that it’s been and continues to be an uncertain time. We understand that this means you may be unable to make the trip or join us. We look forward to celebrating with you whenever we can if not this coming September!

Lodging & Meals At NatureBridge
NatureBridge provides lodging and all meals from Friday afternoon through Monday morning. We do have enough space for all of you!
We’re looking forward to sharing the beautiful campus with you, which has swimming and paddling available on site (bring your paddleboards/kayaks) and walking access to some amazing hiking trails - meaning we can have lots of nature fun without having to drive the whole weekend!!
We have determined a reasonable lodging/meal cost per person (with a different per person amount for those who will have kids with them): $220 per adult, $240 per adult with children. This covers lodging and all meals for Friday afternoon through Monday morning.
In the RSVP form please let us know the nights you’re planning on staying - the cost remains the same for you regardless, but knowing how many people to expect for the meals will help us reduce waste.
Please email us if you have any questions about the arrangements.

Optional Wine / Beer Pool
We’ll provide drinks for the Sunday afternoon/evening wedding reception and dinner, of course.
For Friday afternoon/evening and Saturday afternoon/evening, those who’d like to drink can either bring their own or donate to a wine pool, a beer pool, or both. We’ll use the pool money to purchase kegs of beer (likely some broadly-appealing pale or IPA) and casks of red and white wine from Proletariat (no bottle waste!).
Important caveat: once the beer and wine are gone, the nearest store is about a 30 minute drive away on windy roads, so you might want to have a little back-up stash of your own. :)
Amount is at your discretion. If you need some guidance: $20 - $40 per person but use your best guess! See payment options below - just include “wine pool”, “beer pool” or “wine/beer pool” in your notes!
Please submit your wine/beer pool payment by July 31st using one of these methods:
Paypal to "katie.remine [at] zoo.org"
Venmo to "@Jonathan [dash] Dent [dash] 10"
Or, send a check in the mail to Jonathan Dent

No gifts, please!
If you choose to, donations in our honor can be made to:
Regrow Borneo - Katie has led graduate field courses with the people who run this reforestation program in southeast Asia and has always been impressed with their efforts to support wildlife and human livelihoods in the region. --> DONATE
Page Ahead - Jon has long supported Page Ahead’s efforts to prevent summer “learning loss,” which disproportionately affects low-income families. Page Ahead provides the opportunity for students in kindergarten through 2nd grade to choose 12 new books that are theirs to keep and read over summer vacation and beyond. --> DONATE
Duwamish River Clean-up Coalition - We took our first kayak paddle together on the Duwamish River in spring 2015, and have since taken several long paddles together on this highly-urban yet rich-with-widlife and culturally important river! The DRCC is committed to fostering “an empowered Duwamish Valley Community thriving in a healthy and just environment”. --> DONATE
