A fairytale wedding in the forest
Our happy news
Mazel Tov!
On July 12th, 2026, Michelle and Ariel were married at the Oregon Country Fair. The love they share transcends time and all boundaries. Their wedding took place at the grotto, by the piano, beside the Long Tom River. This is fair family ground. Michelle and Ariel chose this place because it holds them.
Thank you to everyone for being part of our journey. This page is our way of sharing our love with you and inviting you to the reception on August 9th.

Seventeen minutes of vows, laughter, and forest light. Pour yourself something and settle in.
Jack O'Roses & the Lady with a Fan
In Robert Hunter's Terrapin suite — the song he never finished — Ariel is Jack O'Roses and I am the lady with a fan. Ours is a love of waiting years to be together, of walking all the way to the gates of hell to get there. And at last, arriving at Terrapin, together.
“Jack O’Roses one more time… my lady, here’s your fan.”
— Robert Hunter, “Terrapin”
We danced into the evening, surrounded by thousands of people from all over the world — making sure we both know our love will never fade away.
