Our Love Story
We met on Hinge during COVID, and our first date was outdoors in December. Somewhere between bonding over our careers in tech, our shared sense of humor, and our love of food and travel, we realized we really liked each other especially when we were freezing and still didn’t want the night to end.
By our third date, we both knew this was going somewhere—and it never stopped. Since then, we’ve traveled the world together, from Jamaica to Italy to Bali, collecting memories (and plenty of good meals) along the way. We’ve celebrated milestones and sought out new adventures, even fulfilling a lifelong dream by flying to Manchester to watch Manchester United play live. And that’s just the beginning of our story!

Block Code: PWWS
Hotel Block Expires on April 26th. Book under the Paterson-Walker Wedding Block when calling to book.
Transportation Shuttle From SpringHill Suites
We’ll be providing transportation to and from the SpringHill Suites. If you’d like to take advantage of this service, please indicate so on your RSVP and let us know where you’ll be staying.
Hotels Recommendations For Extended Stay
For those planning to stay in the area for a few days before or after the wedding, we’ve included some hotel recommendations below.
Color Scheme:
Dress Code
We’re embracing a garden party formal vibe, think elegant and polished, but with a relaxed, outdoor feel. For ladies, think floral or midi dresses, soft colors, and flowing silhouettes. For gentlemen, light-colored suits, blazers, or summer tailoring work beautifully. The ceremony will be held outdoors on grass and uneven ground, followed by an indoor reception, so choose attire that feels fitting for a garden setting while still refined enough for an indoor celebration.
