Snoqualmie Falls, True Love, Magical Day to Wed!

It was a misty day at Snoqualmie Falls so just a few hardy souls made their way to the overlook.  

It was the day that David and Linda had decided to wed ... and the two had enough warmth to lighten up the entire area.


The two wanted to exchange their wedding vows outdoors and settled on the Centennial Greens, with the mist of the falls as their backdrop. Isn't this mystical?

 










 


Linda and David only had eyes for each other.



It is so very special to officiate for a couple in love.

Weddings always make me happy!

David and Linda are obviously happy too.

 


 



Then is was time for the Mr. and Mrs. to make their way back to their beautifully decorated room at the Salish Lodge and Spa (Linda had been collecting decorations for quite some time) and to make use of their oh-so-colorful shoes.  Dance, anyone?

Wishing David and Linda a lifetime of hugs and kisses ... and all good things!

Many thanks to Jenny GG for her wonderful photographs!

Love is Our True Destiny - Thomas Merton

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.

Sun Shines its Blessing on this Salish Elopement

Jan and Chip traveled from Spokane to wed at the Salish Lodge and Spa.  But first Chip ran a marathon (go man go - I was quite impressed), then the two toured Seattle, and last ... but not least ... they got married.

Their path to husband and wife was not without a few bumps so the two were quite grateful to exchange their vows.

As you know September weather in the Pacific Northwest is unpredictable.  The day began with a few sprinkles and by afternoon, all that remained was a mist over the falls.  Bit by bit the sun attempted to make its way through the clouds. 

Even so, the falls were spectacular!

We decided the ceremony should take place on the balcony.   It was quite sweet and touching.  Love is so amazing!




Vows were said and rings exchanged.  The marriage was sealed with a kiss.

Just then, the sun broke through the clouds in a blessing from nature for the bride and groom.  It was a magic moment.

Look at this!  Isn't this the best.

Just loved the moment.

Wishing Mr. and Mrs. a very happy and fulfilling life together filled with much joy!!

Family Wedding Ceremony Celebrated at the Salish Lodge

It was a true joy to officiate for Courtney and Casey at the Salish Lodge.  The day was one of sun and rain ... but the timing was perfect to capture some outdoor photos (Jenny GG doing the honors).

Don't think I've met a more exuberant and happy bride.  Courtney was literally quivering with anticipation.  Here she is with her sister before the ceremony.

  Courtney was stunning!

Mary, Courtney's father, offered words of wisdom and love to her son before the big moment.

Casey was filled with emotion ... and anticipation too ... for that first look.  He is so expressive!

Here we go ...

 

 

Then it was time for the ceremony.

 

Tony, Courtney's father, had the honor of walking his daughter into the suite.

Everyone was so happy for the couple.

Of course, their children -- Camden and Maisey -- were recognized in a family celebration.
 
Camden was the ring bearer!

Finally ... the kiss.

Adults and children alike rejoiced.



Dad and son ...

             mom and daughter ...

All together ... a family!

Wishing the four a happy and loving experience together!







Thanks to Jenny GG for the wonderful photos.

Greg and Michelle's Romantic Wedding at the Salish

"A hundred hearts would be too few
  to carry all my love for you."

                               ~Unknown

The weekend nearest Valentine's Day is always a popular one to wed.  It is such a romantic time of the year. It was the perfect time for Michelle and Greg to marry at the Salish Lodge and Spa.




 



Michelle's son, Mason, walked the bride in.  Michelle was dressed in a beautiful wedding gown from Cicada Bridal. 

Then, the ceremony began.  It included a quote from Leo Tolstoy:

I already love in you your beauty, 

but I am only beginning to love in you 

that which is eternal and ever precious 

                  - your heart, your soul. 

Both were so happy to wed ... and to share the moment with the people closest to them.  Greg's brother, Mike, and sister-in-law, Cathleen, plus their two friends, Ken and Karen.  Everyone was smiling ... and there were a few tears of joy shed.

It was a pleasure to meet Michelle and Greg.






 
Looking at the bride and groom, the words from this poem came to mind.
 
My world before me is perfect.
There's nowhere else I want to be ...
Nothing could be more right,
There's nowhere else I want to be.
Let's take a walk my only love,
Hand in hand, you and me.

 Wishing Greg and Michelle the very best in their life together.
