This modern & elegant wedding had not one, but three venues!

After nearly two decades together, lovebirds Sam and Ryan's wedding celebration was one for the books. Instead of just selecting one stunning venue for their wedding - the couple opted for three! After an intimate ceremony in Cabo, the grooms chose The Four Seasons (Seattle) and The Thompson Hotel for a two-day party with their closest friends and family.

Two grooms are better than one

We absolutely love the idea of couples getting ready together! For day one, Ryan and Sam chose to get ready together for their Four Seasons ceremony and dinner. Both grooms wore a variety of elegant designer suits and accessories, featuring tuxedos from Armani, shoes from Louboutin, and boutonnieres from Chanel.

For day two, the grooms got ready together again at The Thompson Hotel, but with a pop of white with contrasting monochrome tuxedos.

From the couple's planner, Bridal Bliss:

"Ryan and Sam, where do I even begin?! It was such an honor and privilege to plan their celebration. After 19 years together, these two finally tied the knot. Not once, not twice, but THREE times! There was no shortage of celebration for these two, but even three events won’t do justice to the love and commitment Ryan and Sam share for one another."

Getting ready with two grooms

Floral ceremony with a ferris with view

For day one of their Seattle festivities, the grooms planned an intimate and romantic indoor ceremony at The Four Seasons, followed by a family-style dinner party. The stunning floral arch and details were created by Elle Fleurit. The view could not be more stunning with the iconic

"Elle Fleurit flowered the space and elevated what was an already stunning view. Puget Sound Strings graced the celebration with a cover of Over the Rainbow as Ryan and Sam processed in. The ceremony started with a poem from Andrea Gibson and also included an emotional reading of the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that gives authority and blessing for the union of same sex couples. Ryan and Sam were celebrated with cheers as they shared their first kiss as husbands."

For day two, it was only fitting that Ryan and Sam would capture some truly classic portraits around the sights and sounds of Seattle. During their rooftop reception, the newlyweds took portraits with some iconic city backdrops with Jonas Seaman Photography.

From event designer, Bridal Bliss:

"Elle Fleurit adorned the rooftop in an immaculate display of blooms and greenery creating the most grand entrance for guests. 321 Foto supplied the guests with endless fun with their GLOW photo booth which Elle Fleurit curated a custom floral backdrop for. Guests were greeted with boozy popsicles and specialty cocktails named after a few of Ryan and Sam’s favorite icons, as well as groovy rooftop tunes DJ’d by Waylon from Bamboo Beats."

We are LOVING the champagne tower trend we're seeing this wedding season! Champagne towers are a perfect alternative to cake cutting or a great way to kick off your party.
