Caitlin and Ben's Wedding Featured in Pacific Coast Weddings!

This summer it was a joy to officiate for Ben and Caitlin at Fall City Farms.  They are a fun couple whose love shines through in everything they do, including their wedding.

And, they were so creative, their wedding was featured in the "Real Weddings" section of Pacific Coast Weddings.

There is a beautiful log retreat/seminar building where the wedding party got ready and the food was prepared but all the activities took place outside in bright sun and under the brilliant moon ... or under the huge tent.

There was plenty of room for the ceremony and for dining and for games and dancing afterwards.

The ceremony was simple:  no wedding party, just Ben and Caitlin.  

They used white doors to frame where we stood.

Isn't this romantic?

It was warm that evening and so very comfortable to be outside.

The entire wedding was relaxed and full of life. It totally suited Caitlin and Ben.

The wedding toasts made everyone laugh!

Of course, there was a bit of cake smashing too ... and a kiss to make up.

All in all, two people totally in love.

Wishing Caitlin and Ben years and years and years of happiness together!

Sergei and Kelsey Create a Very Personal Aisle Runner for Their Wedding!

OK ... I'm not a big fan of lightweight aisle runners (although the heavyweight carpet ones are great.)  Kelsey and Sergei, however, created a very personal "walk to the altar" at Ray's Boathouse.

It was entitled "A Walk Down Memory Lane."  And began with their names and photos.

Obviously, the two are Dawg fans.

There was a photo of their first date, photos of Central Park in the fall and a trip to Thailand.

Puppy love ... so cute!

Engaged at the Coast  ... and then married!






I have never seen such a unique and personal wedding aisle runner!

With such creativity, Sergei and Kelsey are certain to have a life together that is interesting and adventurous and just plain amazing!

Thanks to Amanda Lloyd Photography for the images!

Eric and Cindy - Two Celebrations for One True Love

Eric grew up in the Pacific Northwest and moved to Texas, which is fortunate because that's where he found his true love: Cindy.   

The bride and groom met online and had their first date about two years ago. Eric had recently bought a Chevy Volt and they fell in love at the same time they became "up close and personal" with almost every plug in the metroplex.  (I think that is so cute ... and so environmentally sound.)

The two decided to have their wedding ceremony and one reception at the Barbee Mill Community Center in Renton, and then another reception in Texas.

When they contacted me, I had to look up their wedding venue.  It is quite lovely and perfect for an intimate celebration.  Perfect for them.

The night of the wedding was clear and there was a beautiful sunset.

Cindy and her twin sister, Lindy, arranged the flowers and completed the other decorations before changing into their ceremony attire.

Meanwhile, Mark, Eric's brother, was preparing the food for the reception.  It all looked absolutely yummny.

Here's the wedding party:  Lindy, Cindy, Eric and Mark.

And, here's the immediate family!

A very friendly and welcoming group.

The color theme of the wedding was black and white with a splash or two of red.

Cindy and Eric enjoyed their first bite of cake.

I really liked the "Mint to be" container decorated with paw prints and filled with mints.  (Also enjoyed the Peppermint Pattys.) 

And here are the doggy dudes that inspired the paw prints
Meet Jaxx and Texx.

Married and happy ... it was time to return to Texas and their next celebration.

Wishing Cindy and Eric many years of many more celebrations!!!

Anthony and Veronica Have a Twilight Wedding

Just received these photos from Paul Whittaker.  The bride and groom wed as dusk was falling.  The lights on the Skansonia Ferry created a magical glow.

Anthony awaited Veronica's walk down the aisle along with Kent.  He looks so very happy.

 


It was a sweet ceremony with promises each made to the other and to their children.
















Then it was time to seal their vows with a kiss!

And, to make it legal.  Don't they look so very happy!

Wishing Veronica and Anthony and their family years and years and years of happiness.

Pat and Kent Would Love Your Vote For Best Officiant - Evening Magazine Poll

Just two days to go ... and we would love your vote.

http://best.king5.com/a-heavenly-ceremony/biz/122855


With gratitude 

Please Vote Yes on 522 - We Have the Right to Know What is In Our Food!

As you are aware the Yes on 522 is the campaign is about labeling genetically engineered in Washington State.  Kent and I really, really, really, really, really what to support this and here's why:

This is an issue that affects me and my relatives in daily life.  I'm fairly allergic to certain foods: when foods are genetically altered (which they already are), I find my body responds in unpleasant ways.  Currently, I have to learn by trial and error, what I can eat, which is unnecessary -- just let me know what in the food and I can choose to eat ... or avoid what I don't want to eat.

Lots of things are already labeled:  we know if food is organic or not (go Team Organic), we know about sodium and sugar levels, natural or artificial flavorings, farmed or wild caught salmon. Now we need to know whether the food is genetically engineered or not.

Please vote "YES!"

Art Deco Wedding Cake - As Tasty As It Is Artful

Daria and Danny planned a 1920s themed wedding and this was their wedding cake.  

Wow!  It was created by Madeleine's European Cake. 

What a show stopper ... and yummy, too.  

Details really can add that extra dimension to a wedding celebration.  

Planning a wedding based on your favorite era and want a wedding ceremony that reflects that time as well?  Give us a call or contact us at our website and let's do some brainstorming!  I'm sure we can create something pretty spectacular.

Wedding Day Tribune: Danny Weds Daria at The Sanctuary at Admiral!

What a great night!  Daria and Danny decided on a classy theme for their wedding.  They chose the 1920s and asked everyone to dress in clothes of that era.  

Don't they look like they could have walked right off the pages of The Great Gatsby?  One hot doll and one cool cat.

There is so much to share about their wedding ... but I'll wait for the professional photos.  Here is just one aspect of their wedding:  the newsboys. 







As family and friends entered the Sanctuary at Admiral, the two peddled the latest news:  Danny and Daria's wedding!

(Aren't they adorable!!  And, yes, this is Danny's first car!)

We read all about it in a special edition of the Wedding Day Tribune.







Can't wait to share more ...

This Valentino actually got his Daisy.  The two found the best speakeasy in town, greased the skids with the fuzz, and they sure know how to throw a wingding!  They'll go far!! 

Kent officiated and we were invited to the shindig.  Got all gussied up, we did!

Sweet Wedding Ceremony for Thomas & Shaina at the Salish Lodge & Spa

 

July at Snoqualmie Falls ...

   a wedding at the Salish Lodge

All is good!

Thomas and Shaina took wedding photographs in the woods near the Falls.

And there are SO many places to pause and to enjoy a kiss ...

near the railroad trestle ...

by the river ...

All quite romantic.

Shaina was striking!  A beautiful bride.

The wedding party was dressed and polished and ready to celebrate.








Thomas's grandparents, Jerry and Lois, presented a prayer blessing the couple.  (I love personal touches in a ceremony.)








Then, it was time for the vows:
I promise to be faithful to you, 

  to always stand by your side.

I promise to take care of you 

  and to take care of myself.

I promise to be the banana to your soup ...

And, of course, you can't forget the kiss!

 

Mr. and Mrs. take a moment to enjoy the happiness of the moment.

The two are ready to walk the path of marriage together.

Wishing Shaina and Thomas true joy and companionship all the days of their lives.
