Watson, Beloved Pet, Announces Engagement!

Isn't Watson doing a great job of letting Erin and Brian's families and friends know of their upcoming wedding?  Thought this is an adorable "save the date" announcement.

Obviously, Watson is a integral part of the family.

Congrats, of course, to Brian and Erin!  We recently met to plan their ceremony and had a great time.  Looking forward to April.

Thanks to Carol Harrold for the engagement photo.

Wedding Shoes: As Varied As the Couples Who Wed

Niki Desautels

I was out in the garden today and wore my insulated short rubber boots.  They were so comfortable and warm.  Unlike my tall rubber boots which are ever so much fashionable - navy blue with white polka dots - and so easy to put on, these were a bit difficult.  I actually had to sit down and slow work them over my heels.

The experience brought to mind this photo:  yes, it is obviously taken in Seattle and is just such a fun photo!

Of course, wedding shoes can be elegantly beautiful

OR

dramatically colorful.

You get to pick the shoe that best fits your personality.





Or the boot ...

(Yup ... boots and gowns do go together! )

Can you guess this was an intimate ceremony on the shore of the Puget Sound?





 






It's not just brides who are making a statement with their shoes.

Converse are quite a popular choice,

  

as well as more polished footwear.

In any case, whatever you choose, have fun.

Jett and Desiree to Wed in March

Jonathan, PS Photography & Video

Here's an engagement photo of Desiree and Jett 

The two plan to wed in March at The Edgewater Hotel.

As their wedding website explains, the two were introduced on a sunny spring Sunday at Green Lake, through Des's friend and then-roommate Jamie.

(Since we live in the Green Lake area, we are partial to couples enjoying a first meeting at the park, getting married near the lake, enjoying a romantic walk ... it is truly a lovely and loving area.)

After eating an afternoon breakfast and sharing a bottle of hard cider at a classy establishment called Duck Island (hmmm ... others have described it as divey, low key, laid back, kind of rustic, funky).  In any case, it became clear that the two were on the road to "Twue Wuv."

Or, you know, maybe it would just be fun to get together again to grab some cheesecake and play pool.



So happy and excited to be officiating for Desiree and Jett!  We're getting together soon to begin planning a ceremony perfect for them.

Robert and Kate Wed in A Private Adventure Wedding Ceremony

This week was a great one!  On Tuesday Robert and Kate, Lena Peterson, their photographer, Kent and I drove to the Mukilteo Ferry, then to South Whidbey State Park.

The bride and groom traveled from Ohio to wed in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Actually, Robert planned this out as a surprise for Kate ... she was delighted!

As you may recall the day before the wedding was a stormy one and we were prepared for another blustery, rainy day:  raincoats, umbrellas, hiking boots ...

So what happened?  The rain stopped for a bit and the sun actually came out.  Woohoo!

We walked the 1/2 mile trail to the beach, stopping every once in awhile to take some photos. 




 

The leaves were vibrant!

Kate and Robert are of bold spirit, willing to take off their jackets and simply be warmed by their excitement and joy of the moment.

 




 


When we reached the water, there was a magnificent driftwood log.  A perfect setting for some dramatic photos.




 




It was here that we held the ceremony.  Robert and Kate shared personal vows that had some truly humorous moments. 













 
Isn't this absolutely fabulous!

We could see shafts of sunlight and sheets of rain in the distance.  Very dramatic.

 

And, of course, it was important to take some time and to share hugs and kisses.

 





A perfectly beautiful end to a perfectly beautiful day!

Wishing Robert and Kate a lifetime of happiness.  So glad we could share this very special time of their lives with them.

The photos are a collection of those Lena took, we took and Kate and Robert took.

An Organic Apple A Day -- The Perfect Wedding Favor

Rafe and Jamie recently celebrated their wedding vows at the Golden Gardens Park Bathhouse.

They selected these beauties - Arkansas Black apples - as their favors, which I absolutely loved. Besides, we are located in Washington State, a state known for its apples.

Jamie is allergic to most apples, but not the Arkansas Blacks.  She wanted to share her find with everyone.

And, they are beautiful, scrumptious apples ...  intensely red colored, solid textured, sweet/sour taste.  (I had one with breakfast today -- a bit of cinnamon, some kefir, walnuts and apple -- delish!)  Plus, they are organic.  (Since apples have more pesticide residue than any other food -- residue that doesn't wash off -- this is a very big deal.)

I'm sure you can see my very happy feet dancing all around our living room.
