Based on many of the stops, it seems like you're more interested in the nature aspects. I would suggest cutting days/eliminating either Portland or Seattle. I'd personally drop both in favor of keeping ONP. Other commenters have pointed out, but it's really worth reiterating, there is nothing in the world like the Olympic Peninsula. Portland and Seattle are big cities like many other big cities in the world, and definitely lack the charm they had in the past.

Those are all tricky parts for sure! They're far from each other and all have specific travel considerations. However, for their isolation, they provide some spectacular nature experiences. ONP in particular is unique and hard to pass up if you've been dreaming and saving for this trip for a long time. In your cuts, I would think about what it is about each destination you are most interested in. Is it a view? A geographical feature? Are there substitute places along your path that could pull double-duty or replace a more famous (but more out-of-the-way) destination? Good luck planning, happy travels, and congrats on your marriage!
