The Most Romantic Vow Renewal Ever!

And so the ceremony began ...

"Tonight, the two of you will renew your wedding vows.

It is a very special occasion.  You have been married for 15 years and a day.  You came together as individuals in love and have sustained your union while supporting each other in your growth as individuals.  Both of you have helped create a relationship of loving kindness:  you have shared hopes and dreams, made a home that is safe and secure, a place of comfort and renewal, been able to express your true feelings, thoughts and emotions to one other."

The story of Mike and Lynn is so incredibly romantic!  They were fortunate to have found each other.  At the time, Mike was in the Navy so they married in front of the fireplace in their home. It wasn't the simple equation of man + woman.  There was man + woman + children + dogs + horses, then the birth of their children and the adoption of four others.  Not surprisingly, the two didn't have the time or the resources for a romantic get away.

Mike surprised Lynn with a vow renewal ceremony and weekend at the Salish Lodge. Lynn was thrilled and delighted!!

 

Their love was so palpable.  Theirs is a love that has met challenges and thrived.  Theirs is a love that inspires.

Both were so very happy!

These are the hands they have held through it all ... and their rings are reminders of their mutual commitment to "go the distance" together.

Lynn and Mike have hearts so big.  They are everyday heroes and it was an honor to be present with them at their vow renewal.  Wishing them blessings beyond measure!

Jason and Monica Renew Vows on Their First Anniversary

Why marriage?

Because to the depths of me,
  I long to love one person,
   with all my heart, my soul, my mind, my body ....
                                --Mari Nichols-Haining

Jason and Monica feel blessed to be married and wanted to celebrate their first anniversary by renewing their vows and then going out to dinner.  We met at Green Lake, at a spot they especially selected.  Holding hands and speaking words of love a few tears were shed.  Witnessing the two, I was deeply moved.

The couple asked me to write the ceremony for them.  Here is what Monica said:

I wanted to take a peek but decided to stop reading because what you've put together is super pretty and elegant and is making me cry. Be sure to be ready for waterworks. And thank you so much! This is absolutely what I was hoping for. 

Wishing Monica and Jason many more happy years together!!!

Tony and Michelle Renew Their Vows At the Space Needle

When love is sparked, it’s an event to be celebrated.
When love is sparked, it's an event to be celebrated.
When love grows, it’s an occasion to rejoice.

Tony and Michelle traveled from California to visit relatives in the area. Since it was their anniversary, they also decided to celebrate their years as a married couple by renewing their vows at the Seattle Space Needle.

We helped them find just the right words and Kent met them and a few relatives on the Observation Deck. It happened to be a typical cloudy winter day and very few people were there because there was no view. As soon as the two renewed their vows, the clouds lifted and the sun shone upon them and the beautiful city!!!! What a blessing.

Thank you so much for officiating our wedding ceremony on top of the Seattle Space Needle. We had lots of fun and appreciate everything you did. Thank you again and have a Merry Christmas!
