Lush, Tropical Vibes and Eclectic Black-and-White Details at The Marriott Tacoma Downtown

Eight years of adventures and unforgettable experiences built up to Teena Thach and Simon Legaspi’s eclectic wedding day. Simon first encountered Teena when he heard her singing at a Filipino-American Student Association event at Seattle University, but they didn’t actually speak until a year later, when Simon discovered Teena on Instagram and they began exchanging likes and comments on each other’s posts. These led to DMs, video calls and eventually their first date at The Cheesecake Factory. Within a month, the couple discovered a mutual passion for adventures and soon knew they were meant to be together. Simon hatched an elaborate plan to propose to Teena while traveling to Bali to celebrate her birthday. He schemed with friends, flight attendants and the pilot on their airplane to allow Simon to propose over the intercom. When the time came to plan their wedding, the couple embraced classic, black-and-white aesthetics. Tall, bright glass windows and round bouquets of pure white flowers created an elegant atmosphere. The couple took care to personalize their day with fun details, including boba tea. The celebration unfolded on the sunny outdoor terrace while the reception dinner took place in a candlelit ballroom. The night concluded with dancing and joyous music as the couple entered a bright new chapter of their lives
