Wedding After Party - Food and Fun at Golden Gardens

Todd & Elan at Golden Gardens - Patricia Stimac, Seattle Wedding Officiant

I like how Todd and Elan planned their wedding day.  The ceremony took place about noon, the reception was right after. Next up, photos at Golden Gardens, followed by an After Party.  Now isn't that a great wedding day.

There was time to wade in the water and walk on the beach and take photos in the grove.

Everyone was ready to get into comfortable clothes and enjoy the beach.  
The ladies were jumping for joy!

Do you think they were cheerleaders in an earlier life?

Isn't this a great way to celebrate a marriage?

Hats off to Elan and Todd.  I think the two are going to have a lot of fun together for years to come.

Guest Book Idea That's Just Too Cute for Words

Guestbook with balloon messages posted by Patricia Stimac, Seattle Wedding Officiant

Love this idea!  Todd and Elan had this at their wedding on the Skansonia Ferry.

Bride and groom (they look like Elan and Tood) are hugging each other as they stand next to the Space Needle.  (You can see the Space Needle from the Skansonia.)  They are holding onto lines attached to balloons.  The balloons are of different colors and sizes.  Guests wrote messages to the couple and attached them to the canvas.

It is all ready to frame and will be a wonderful reminder of their wedding day!

This can be DIY project and be purchased online from sites like Etsy.

Guests traveled from every corner of the United States, as well as from Canada and as far away as China, to witness Todd and Elan marry and to celebrate with the bride and groom at the Skansonia Ferry!

Elan descended the stairs to meet her stepfather, James.  The two walked arm in arm down the aisle.

 The view from the ferry is spectacular!
You can see all the way down Lake Union to the Space Needle.

Elan and Todd asked me to interview several of their friends and present their stories and reflections as a surprise to them during the ceremony.  It was a wonderful experience and all the guests loved it.

Todd and Elan's wedding rings - Patricia Stimac, Seattle Wedding OfficiantWhen I see this picture of their wedding rings, the words Todd and Elan spoke as they exchanged rings came to mind:

"Let this ring remind you of the connection between us and the love we share."
 
Wishing Elan and Todd the very best in their life together ... I'm sure it will be an interesting adventure!
