"James, senior director of DEI at General Motors, and Kelly, director of digital-marketing strategies at Fuel Medical Group, met on Tinder. Less than two years after their first date at a Japanese restaurant in Portland, Oregon-where they live-James proposed there, "back where it all started," he says, over sushi. The pair envisioned a wedding ambience that felt warm and friendly, like the tropics, and a party reminiscent of disco music's peak."
"The result was a "tropical disco" theme in shades of burgundy, orange, and forest green, with colorful flowers and a showstopping tropical-leaf/disco-ball installation above the dance floor-Kelly's favorite element of the day. From the moment guests entered, the dance floor was packed thanks to DJ Tryfe, who made it hard for guests to leave it, even for dinner, says James. Fun signs included one at the bar with pictures of the couple's dogs, Jameson and TJ, that teased: drinks are on us, but the hangover is on you."
James and Kelly met on Tinder and had their first date at a Japanese restaurant in Portland, where James proposed less than two years later over sushi. They planned a warm, friendly ambience evoking the tropics and a reception inspired by disco music’s peak. The celebration used a "tropical disco" palette of burgundy, orange, and forest green, with colorful flowers and a tropical-leaf/disco-ball installation above the dance floor. DJ Tryfe kept the dance floor packed, making it hard for guests to leave even for dinner. Playful signs at the bar featured the couple’s dogs and a humorous drink message.
