Trinity Tree Farm Lodge is one of our favorite wedding venues in the greater Seattle area.

Beyond the beautiful greenery outside, the white indoor space makes for gorgeous reception photos – and a perfect backdrop in case it rains, like it did for this wedding. Naon had a surprise up her sleeve for Ben – she and the best man had organized a pretend first look – you can see the great reaction below.

I asked Naon & Ben to share a few details about their relationship and their wedding day plans:

How did the two of you meet?
We met online through OkCupid. Ben said hi first! His profile pic was of him holding Elsie, our cute dog. Naon of course had to respond (because of the dog!)

Tell us all the awesome proposal details.
Naon was busy in the kitchen trying to get food prepped for the holidays prior to heading down to Portland to visit Ben’s family. Sunday night football was on and Ben comes downstairs with the ring. He gets on one knee and asks “Are you ready?” then asks Naon to marry him. Naon responds then asks if he was asking himself or her if he/she was ready.

Why did you choose Trinity Tree Farm Lodge for your wedding venue?
Trinity Tree had the open greenery, with the beautiful white space for the reception, 2 firepits and DOG FRIENDLY!

What is your most anticipated moment of your wedding day?
Our quiet moment after the ceremony while we are signing our marriage certificate.

If we were to run in to you on a relaxed day off, what would you be doing?
Watching football or going out for a beer.
