A Magical Twin Peaks-Themed Vow Renewal in Snoqualmie Valley
Sharon and Spencer share a love for the nineties TV show Twin Peaks. Their vow renewal ceremony in Snoqualmie Valley paid homage to the place where it was filmed.
I adore seeing a couple’s love for each other through gentle touches, secret smiles, or stolen kisses. Nothing beats the big, bold laughter of someone who is truly married to their best friend. Sharon and Spencer’s Twin Peaks-themed vow renewal ceremony in Snoqualmie Valley contained so much love, laughter, and fun that I knew it was true from the moment I met them. Even after more than ten years together, this couple is deeply in love.
Sharon and Spencer celebrated their ten-year anniversary at Snoqualmie Falls on October 15, 2022. Lifelong fans of the nineties TV show Twin Peaks, this couple came from Chicago to renew their vows in romantic Snoqualmie Valley, the location where the series was filmed. In fact, Sharon and Spencer love Twin Peaks so much that they come back to Snoqualmie Valley every year for the Twin Peaks yearly anniversary event and vow that one day they will call this place their home.
This Twin Peaks-themed Vow Renewal Ceremony in Snoqualmie Valley reminded me of the importance of prioritizing personality and imagination in a vow renewal. The result? Images that give an authentic view of Sharon and Spencer’s love story.
Twede’s Cafe is a Must for a Twin Peaks Themed Vow Renewal
For those familiar with Twin Peaks, you will surely remember Twede’s Cafe, a location often featured in the TV series. Sharon and Spencer started their day at the cafe as a fun jumping-off point for the themed vow renewal. To add to the fun (and for the benefit of stunning photos!) the couple dressed in David Lynch inspired attire! They also recreated the Ed and Norma scene from Twin Peaks in the Cafe.
An Outdoor Adventure in Snoqualmie Falls
From the cafe, we traveled to the trailhead of lower Snoqualmie Falls. It was here the couple hiked through the forest and played around on rocks and logs amid stunning sun rays. For an onlooker, this area may just seem like another breathtaking piece of Pacific Northwest nature. But for this couple it was symbolic of the area featured in Twin Peaks!
The Vow Renewal at Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie Valley
Perhaps my favorite part of this day was when the couple exchanged their vows in a field near the upper Snoqualmie Falls viewing area. Both theater and movie buffs with a wicked sense of humor, their vows to each other were funny, emotional, and reflective of the commitment that ten years together had solidified.
Extending the Celebration with Twin Peaks-Themed Outfits for Family and Friends
The couple ended their day by having drinks with friends at Smokey Joe’s (a filming location for season 3 of Twin Peaks) and recreating some of their favorite scenes from Twin Peaks at Twede’s Cafe. You guessed it, the guests came prepared and dressed in characters from Twin Peaks! (Check out some snippets of the reenactments here!)
