Every summer seems to generate at least one Company wedding, but this year boasts a true bumper crop of PNB brides and grooms.

On August 10, corps de ballet member Leah O’Connor was married to Michael Merchant at the historic Jenne Farm on Whidbey Island, followed by a honeymoon in Kauai. The bride’s gown was specially created for her by PNB’s own Mark Zappone, whose costume designs appear frequently in Company productions. Additional congratulations go to the new Ms. Merchant, who earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from University of Washington in June.
