High School Sweethearts Wed at Lakewold Gardens

Robert and Patricia were high school sweethearts. Their first date was a Homecoming Dance and  they have been together ever since.  They realized they were too young to wed and decided to wait to marry until Patricia completed her degree at the UW. So it was no surprise when Robert proposed but it was a day long waited for.  

Dreaming of their wedding day and being a planner, Patricia thought it would be helpful to have some wedding sites in mind when Robert actually popped the question.  In her researching, she came across Lakewold Gardens and when the two were engaged they visited.  Although it was a dreary, rainy day in January and nothing was in bloom, they both knew it was the perfect wedding site for them.  They wanted an outdoor wedding and loved the views of the water.  

Patricia then found the perfect dress for the perfect location.

Isn't this hanger such a sweet idea! 


And the perfect shoes.

Patricia is a lovely bride and she was ready to marry "her best friend."

Robert was eagerly awaiting his first look at his soon wife to be.

The two couldn't take their eyes off each other.  

And Patricia couldn't wait to share the joy of her dress with him. 

Soon, the wedding party joined them and it was time to "get married." 

Lakewold Gardens has a fantastic entrance for the bride.   Patricia entered with her father, Mickey.

The ceremony began ... and the emotional tears of joy began too.

Patricia shared her personal words with Robert:

"You are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I even thought possible.  I can't think of my life without you.  We have shared many beautiful moments and I'm excited to begin this journey with you."

Finally, the long awaited moment when they became "husband and wife!"

Robbie and I can not thank you enough for helping us put together such an amazing ceremony.  It truly reflected us and created such a soft, warm and loving atmosphere in a perfect setting.  Thank you for being prepared and giving me a tissue when I had trouble saying my vows:)  You did a phenomenal job and we couldn't be happier.  Thanks again for being a part of our special day!

Where the Perfect Place to Wed in Spring?

Beautiful bride, handsome groom, lovely garden!

Yes, in the Pacific Northwest, there are so many amazing places.  One of them is Lakewold Gardens.  Robert and Christina were so very lucky to enjoy good weather plus the perfect bloom of rhodies and tulips and daffodils.  Spectacular!

Wedding colors were a deep purple, which was quite striking.  Christina also chose the fleur-de-lis as the theme for the wedding.  Her married name will be French, you see. 

And, she also crafted all the programs, signs for her husband-to-be and her, the mother of the bride and the father of the groom.  She did a great job.

There were lavender sachets for the guests.

 




Even the cake was decorated with the fleur-de-lis.  Loved how everything tied together. 



The young ladies were all excited about the big day.  Since the wedding was an intimate affair, everyone knew each other well.











The importance of family is primary for Christina and Robert.  Here they are with their three Christina's daughter, Caylin, and her son, Kai, and Robert's son, Kyle.

Wishing them all a happy and healthy life together!

Professional photos to follow by Kyle and Patrick of Luna Bella.  These were taken on my Droid.  Everything was so beautiful, I couldn't restrain myself. 

Music was provided by Dani Li on violin.
