Both love the water and were delighted to discover the DeAnza III, a 65-foot classic motor yacht. The boat's varnished mahogany interior/exterior is spectacular -- the perfect setting for an intimate wedding.
Alexis, Beth's daughter, was the flowergirl, of course. She strewed petals to prepare for her mother's grand entrance, a radiant bride! Morning cloudiness gave way to an absolutely perfect day. Time was leisurely spent, enjoying each other's company, sampling the delicious collection of cheese, toasting the bride and groom and just relaxing and enjoying the moment.
Under the watchful eye of Captain Steve, Alexis took her turn at the wheel!
When we reached Lake Washington, we had a visitor. A heliocopter arrived to photograph us. It was great fun.
Everyone went on deck and waved, then various combinations of people assembled for photos.
"Thank you again for being a part of our awesome day! It was everything we hoped it would be and you were a big part of that! I've already recommended you to someone else. Thanks much!"
--The Novaks (I love saying that)
It was a memorable, wonderful, warm, incredible day. I'm certain Chris and Beth will always remember their wedding.
