Ryan and Corinna to Wed at Weyerhaeuser Estate

I'm so excited about Corinna and Ryan's wedding.  First, because of the couple.

Second, because I've already had a chance to meet their moms and really enjoyed their company.

Third, because this summer is the first summer I'll officiate at Weyerhaeuser Estate.

Corinna and Ryan have been together for six years, got engaged over Valentine's weekend in San Francisco (isn't that romantic?), and plan to wed in the garden at Weyerhaeuser Estate overlooking the water in September.  That is a great time of the year so it should be absolutely beautiful (fingers crossed for great weather!).

 

Congratulations on your engagement. May this be a wonderful time for you both.

Thanks to Jason Comerford for the engagement photo!

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!

Lisa and Jeff to Exchange Their Wedding Vows at the Chapel on Swan's Trail

Jeff and Lisa have been together three wonderful years and the idea of marriage seemed in their future.  They decided to spend the Fourth of July weekend in Long Beach, Washington, with family.

On the ride there, Lisa found an appetizer on the Internet -- a fruit kabob of strawberry, pineapple and banana chunks, half of which was dipped in chocolate.   She shared the photo with Jeff because she knew he would like it too. 

The next morning, Jeff woke up at the crack of dawn and said he was going to get some breakfast treats.  While Lisa slept, he went to the store and picked up chocolate, strawberries, pineapple, bananas along with little skewers.  Guess what he wanted to make?

Once everything was assembled, Jeff woke up Lisa, explaining he wanted to serve her breakfast in bed.  Lisa was instantly awake. Jeff presented the yummy fruit kabobs.

Next came chocolate-covered strawberries.  And the pan they were served on had this written in chocolate:  "Will U Marry Me?"

Of course, Lisa said YES!!! 

The two will wed at the Chapel on Swan's Trail in Snohomish. 

Wishing Lisa and Jeff even more wonderful years -- make that decades -- together!

Where to Propose in Winter? At White Pass, of course!

Derek and Kayla has an interesting proposal story:  on the three-year anniversary of their first date, they went snowboarding with two of their friends.  Around 4:00pm, it was time to warm up and they decided to go to the bar at the lodge.  The four were not exactly looking their best.  They were soaked to the bone and their hair was standing up in all directions.

Derek's friend knew what was about to happen.  He yelled out: "Ladies and Gentlemen! May I have your attention please!? My buddy Derek has something to say to his Lady Friend!!" 

As quiet settled, Derek got down on one knee.  He explained how much he loves Kayla, how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and how nothing would make him happier than if Kayla would become his wife.   

He then opened a little box and asked, "Kayla will you please marry me?" 

Kayla remembers thinking, "YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!" 

But for some reason her voice was not working. Finally, she got out the "yes" and the place erupted with loud applause, whistles and cheers while the two kissed! 

Wow ... what a moment.  It was a lot to take in.  The two were engaged!!  

OK ... time to enjoy the free drinks and then back to the mountain.  Kayla, of course was very conscious of the ring on her finger.  What a great day.

The two intend to make it legal and to celebrate their good fortune at the Monte Cristo Ballroom early next year.

Congratulations!!!
