Mount Rainier Extends its Blessings to Craig and Allison On Their Wedding Day

Alexander's Country Inn hosts Allison and Craig's wedding - Posted by Patricia Stimac, A Heavenly Ceremony
I had the great good fortune of officiating for Craig and Allison at Alexander's Country Inn a few weeks ago.  

It was during that beautifully sunny and exceptionally warm time in the Pacific Northwest.  It was actually 70 degrees at Paradise, can you believe it?

A Glass of Wine, A Beautiful Setting, A Sweet Wedding

Sheila and John near the tree at Willows Lodge - Patricia Stimac, A Heavenly CeremonyI absolutely love intimate ceremonies:  they are relaxed, playful, sweet and just plain fun!

Yesterday, I had a great good fortune of officiating for John and Sheila at Willows Lodge

We gathered for some wine while I filled out the documents and chatted a bit.

It was a bit nippy to have the ceremony outside (although we did a few photos outdoors) so we found a quiet spot for the five of us and settled in.


John invited too very good friends, Tal and Carol, to be the witnesses.

The ceremony took place in front of the fireplace with its toasty flames.  It was simple, sweet and perfectly them.

Wishing Sheila and John years and years even more years of happiness and love!

Love is Our True Destiny - Thomas Merton

Salish Lodge hosts Michelle & Joe's wedding - Kent Buttars, A Heavenly Ceremony
Destiny:  Joe and Michelle were meant to be together!  The two found themselves at the same place one morning.  Their paths had crossed and love was in their stars.

Joe described how he saw Michelle's eyes, yes, across the room, and knew she would be the woman he would one day wed.

Michelle realized she was in love when she took a trip to Boston and all she could think about was Joe.

So, of course, their mutual love lead to marriage!

It was an intimate ceremony which reflected deep feelings and great joy.

Wishing the two a love which grows endlessly with each passing year!!

A Holiday Wedding to Celebrate True Love


Over the holidays, we had the great good fortune of officiating for some really lovely couples.  One of them is Audrina and Charles.  The two made their way from Texas to settle in the Seattle area.  

Loved Audrina's outfit.  The green was the color of the holidays and the black jacket was just perfect.





It was a perfect night to enjoy a fire. (We've been using our fireplace more and there is just something about a cozy fire.)







Audrina's family lives in Texas and was able to witness the ceremony via Skype.  So fun to meet everyone.  Love that technology makes this possible.

Charles's family was able to spend the holidays with him and Audrina.  So they were there to be the witnesses of the marriage.

"Thank you again for officiating our ceremony it was beautiful and you did a lovely job."
~ Audrina and Charles




 All in all, a wonderful experience!  
Wishing the Mr. and Mrs. the very best in their life together.
