Samuel and Sarafina Wed in Seattle

We are so delighted to meet couples from all over the world who marry in our home/office.  One of these incredible brides and grooms is Samuel and Sarafina from Ghana.

When Samuel called to arrange the wedding details, he asked if we had a place where he could change.  Yes, of course.

He arrived with his suitcase and ta-da ... this is how he looked.  Both he and Sarafina and their daughter are so striking.

It was great to see the transformation.  The ceremony took place on a rather chilly November day but inside we were warm and toasty.


Here is the family!

Chris & Beth Wed Aboard the DeAnza III

Life experiences ... memories to mark the years of life ... that is what Chris and Beth wanted for their marriage.







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.
