In early 2021, during the height of the pandemic, Harry and Keke met through Instagram. Harry messaged Keke after seeing a video of her throwing clay on her school-sanctioned pottery wheel, and from there something easy and genuine grew. Before long, they realized their worlds overlapped far more than they ever expected.

When they finally met in person, they spent hours talking, drinking and laughing at Iowa City’s iconic bar, Gabe’s, surrounded by friends. They both remember getting the subtle thumbs-up from their friends across the booth, a quiet confirmation that something felt right.

After nine months of officially dating, Harry and Keke decided to make the move to Portland and build a life together in the PNW. They absolutely love it here and can’t wait for all of their friends and family to be in their favorite place to celebrate their special day.
