After years of planning heartfelt weddings for engaged couples throughout the Pacific Northwest, Alyssa Ayala, the founder of Pacific Engagements Wedding Planning and Design, planned her own wedding on Whidbey Island. The island, with its charming beaches and lush landscapes, held a special place in Alyssa and Ethan's hearts, as it was a place where Ethan spent a majority of his childhood playing at his grandfather’s waterfront home. Over the years of their relationship, the home developed a deeper significance by becoming the setting for relaxing family get-togethers and holiday gatherings. They decided together that this idyllic setting would be perfect to celebrate their marriage.
