Ian and Jeff Wed at Alki Beach

Jeff and Ian are about to wed - Ceremony officiated by Patricia Stimac, Seattle Wedding Officiant
This elopement was so very fun.

First, American Express Business Concierge called me about a couple who wanted to marry later in the week.

OK ... this was the first time I've been contacted in this way and I kept waiting for some type of solitication.  But no! The concierge was actually gathering information.  It was both quite surprising and quite serendipitous.

The couple turned out to be Jeff and Ian.  They live in Vegas but were traveling to Seattle and wanted to wed. 

Three of their friends decided to surprise them and joined them at Alki Beach.

Tom Ellis, the photographer, suggested a quiet beach for the ceremony.  It was away of the bustle of most of Alki.

The ceremony was sweet and simple ... and very emotional. 

It was a joy to officiate for Jeff and Ian.
