Congratulations!

Please join with us in congratulating Dr. Michelle Peterka Stafford and Nicholas Stafford Peterka on their beautiful wedding! The happy couple recited original vows under a beautiful garden arbor overlooking the Columbia Gorge, and the groom serenaded his wife and intimate wedding gathering with a song he composed for the occasion. Guests and the wedding party found their inner child with a silly hat photo booth and cut up the dance floor into the evening.

Stop by our Facebook page and leave your well-wishes in honor of this joyful occasion!
