Ahoy mateys! Nuptials in the offing at the Center for Wooden Boats!!

Being people who favor the water ourselves (Kent an Aquarius, me a Cancer), we can't abide to live far from the sea ... well, at least that watery pond called Green Lake.

Shannon and Ed have set down anchor at the south end of Lake Union, a stone's throw from The Center for Wooden Boats.

So when that sea dog Ed reckoned it was time to get hitched and proposed to his buxom beauty, Shannon, they smartly decided to tie the knot at the Center.

Who knows what lies in store for all those landlubbers attending their wedding shindig?  Aye, it is sure to please, of that I'm certain.  And, I'm dee-lighted to be presiding as cap'tain of the official ceremony in August, the most fair of months in Seattle.

Three cheers for the couple and a long, lively sail through life with fair winds always at their stern.

Calculating it's about time to take the plunge yourselves, well me hearties, belay the chatter and handsomely call us at 206.789.9788 or if you rather, through our website.  Yo ho ho!

Monte Cristo Ballroom Wedding Planned for the Fall

All couples are excited about their engagement and upcoming wedding ... and their enthusiasm is always contagious!

The day Kent and I met with Lenae, she was going on to check out a wedding dress that she suspected would be the ONE!  Double happiness!!

Kent will be officiating for Lenae and Brett in Everett at the Monte Cristo Ballroom.  I'm delighted to be helping them create a wedding ceremony perfect for them.

So happy for Brett and Lenae.  Wishing them the best during their engagement!

And thanks to Genesa Richards Photography for the engagement photo.

This team - Elliott and Barbara - is Going All the Way to the Finals!

A January wedding is in the plans for Barbara and Elliott at the Woodmark Hotel.

Don't the two look so very happy!  (Sure part of that is because of their recent engagement and perhaps another part is due to the Seahawks winning on the day the photo was taken?)

The two invited Kent and I to officiate as a couple, which we love to do (when our schedules permit).

This is going to be so much fun.

Looking forward to co-creating a wonderful ceremony together.  So glad Elliott and Barbara found each other.

Jan Roelof and Eugenia's Engagement Photos at Golden Gardens

Eugenia and Jan Roelof are an international couple who plan to wed later this month at The Canal.

When we met for their wedding ceremony planning session, both raved about John Chin and how comfortable they felt doing their engagement photographs.

I thought that was a very nice compliment for John!

And it bodes well for their wedding photos as well.

Eugenia and Jan Roelof look so happy.  And their ceremony is going to be wonderful.  (Kent will be officiating for them.)  Many bright days are in their future together.

Bicyclists and Blanca Lake Wilderness Proposal!

Meet Ashley and Adam.  At our first meeting, they biked to our place.  Of course, Kent loved them immediately (as did I) because he too shares a passion for human-powered transport.  

This is a photo of the two on their bicycling tour in Belgium and Amsterdam, which was a fantastic experience!

It is obvious the two are destined to be together.  Let me tell you a bit about the proposal.

 

Now the hike to Blanca Lake isn't long, but it's not easy. For the first three miles the trail ruthlessly climbs 2700 feet.  Then, the trail advances up a slope of luxuriant old-growth Douglas-fir and hemlock forests. After another three miles of incessant switchbacking and climbing, there is a small gap and then you start dropping to the big cirque housing big Blanca Lake.

So why was Adam being excessive, carrying an inflatable raft along with all the overnight backpacking equipment.  The reason became clear: he used the raft to row the two of them to a secluded meadow on the other side of the lake ... and then he proposed. 

Now that is going to great lengths to proclaim your love.  Good job, Adam!

The two are planning to wed in September in Leavenworth, of course.  

Very happy for the two!

Two Great Places for Engagement Photos in Seattle

Engagement sessions can be quite fun!  Johnny and Christina selected Marissa and Eric of Cicarelli Photography to capture this special moment in their lives.

Two locations were selected for the photos:  Green Lake (we are located quite near and think it is a great place) and Pike Place Market (what's more Seattle than that?).

At the lake, there are so many wonderful nooks and crannies ... and a variety of habitats plus the lake itself.  You're sure to find a spot that is just yours.








And then there is the Market.  What a vibrant place that is!




In springtime the flowers are so amazing!








And what about Johnny and Christina?  The two met online while Johnny was in Afghanistan. They talked for hours at a time over Skype when Christina was off work and Johnny had down time. 

It soon became apparent that they shared something special and wanted to pursue a relationship. A first date was scheduled for the very day Johnny returned to Washington. Long before the proposal in November, the two knew they were going to get married. 

Christina and Johnny are planning to wed in July at the Washington Athletic Club.  They excited about the wedding and eager to begin the next chapter in our lives together.




Thanks to Cicarelli Photography for the photos!
