This morning was a treat!  Melissa and Amber traveled from Mississippi to wed in Seattle.  In preparation for the "big day," we talked about a number of places where they would enjoy sharing their marriage vows.  The two settled on Parsons Garden at 6:00am.  And, then photos are nearby Kerry Park.

The couple decided to wed near the entrance of the Garden.  It was a quiet time and the sun was just peeking over the tree line.

Amber and Melissa invested quite a bit of thought on the wording of their ceremony.  We all agree that words are important and they wanted to be sure that what was said on their wedding truly suited them.

Amber took some time and wrote these words of intent.

"Marriage is a binding commitment of trust, honesty, promise, and unconditional love. So many people spend their lives searching for true love and we are so fortunate to have found it in each other. It is our recognition and appreciation of this love that brings us here today. We are prepared to embrace this love wholeheartedly and mindfully with patience, respect, and understanding. Today is dedicated to this ultimate decision to share our life experiences, accomplishments, and dilemmas together as one for the rest of our lives."

After the ceremony, we walked to Kerry Park for some photos.  It really is a beautiful view from there. 

Wishing Amber and Melissa the best in their married life!  I'm sure it is going to be a good one.

"Just Married" at the Salish Lodge & Spa!

nifer and Michael met in Texas and are settling in Seattle (at least for a time)!

The two are so in love and adorable to see together.  

They selected these words to include in their ceremony:
True marriage begins well before the wedding day and the efforts of marriage continue well beyond the ceremony's end. A brief moment in time and the stroke of the pen are all that is required to create the legal bond of marriage but it takes a lifetime of love, commitment and compromise to make marriage durable and everlasting.

Wishing the two a lifetime of happiness!

"Scientific Romance" Brings Humor to Abby and Ankur's Wedding Ceremony

How romantic is this?

Ankur and Abby exchanged their wedding vows on a crisp January day.  It was one of those rare days when the Pacific Northwest is at it very best.










After taking photos on the grounds near the Falls, the couple returned to their suite and we began the ceremony.

Abby and Ankur selected a reading for their ceremony that was new to me and perfect for them!  They chose "Scientific Romance" by Tim Pratt (with a few modifications).  Here's one verse that made me chuckle.

If we were the sole survivors

of a zombie apocalypse

and you were bitten and transformed

into a walking corpse

I wouldn't even pick up my

assault shotgun,

I'd just let you take a bite

out of me, because I'd rather be

undead forever

with you

than alive alone

without you.

Vows were made, rings exchanged and the deal was sealed with a kiss.

 

Abby and Ankur are one happy couple.

Ready to step out in style as husband and wife.

Wishing the Mr. and Mrs. the happiest of lives together!

Many thanks to Tania of Azurra Photography for the wonderful images.

Sweet and Simple Wedding in Downtown Seattle

What a fun experience!

I was so blessed to officiate for Ulrica and Chris at their place.  The sky was clear and blue, the sun was just setting.  It was an absolutely perfect time to wed.

Ulrica wore a beautiful red dress.  It was the perfect choice, catching the red-orange glow of the evening sunlight.

The ceremony was light-hearted yet meaningful.  There two were obviously joyful!!

 

 

And, of course, the most awaited moment was the first kiss after being announced as husband and wife!

The occasion was intimate, with only close friends included.  There is something very special about such celebrations.  The warmth and love is palpable.  And the joy for the couple shines through.

Then, up to their place for the signing! 

Linda and Gavin were the witnesses. 
I think they were pretty happy for the bride and groom.

Ulrica has a Scandanavian heritage so the special "Ring Cake" was shared, with Ulrica and Chris taking the first bite. 

Toasts and well wishes to the very fortunate bride and groom!  Sending the best to Chris and Ulrica in the life together as Missen and Mister!

Thank you, Dani Weiss, for the photographs!  They reflect the joy of the day!!

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!
