Memory Lane - Chris and Karen Wed at the Skansonia


Chris and Karen kiss at the Skansonia Ferry - Ceremony performed by Patricia Stimac, Seattle Wedding Officiant


"What is Love” by Walter Pinder



Love is just not looking at each other and saying "You're wonderful." There are times when we are anything but wonderful.
Love is looking out in the same direction. It is linking our strength to pull a common load. It is pushing together towards the far horizons, hand in hand.

Love is knowing that when our strength falters, we can borrow the strength of someone who cares. Love is a strange awareness that our sorrows will be shared and made lighter by sharing; that joys will be enriched and multiplied by the joy of another.

Love is knowing someone else cares that we are not alone in life.

Chris and Karen selected this reading for their wedding ceremony.  It truly reflects them.  Down-to-earth yet extremely appreciative of each other.

Chris and Karen were married in 2011 -- it was a joy to get to know them then and a pleasure to know their journey as a married couple continues.

It always warms my heart to take a look back now and then and remember great people and moments like these.
