Thao & Armand 6-6-09 (Everett, WA)

Thao and Armand are a couple that I served who married on June 6th. They selected Grand Avenue Park in Everett, WA for their wedding venue. They had been referred to me by Thao's twin sister, who I had the privilege of serving when she and her husband married last year.
Thao and Armand were looking for a laid-back yet formal ceremony. Their family members were present as well as a few close friends. At this particular section of the park, there was intricate detailing in the cement walkway. Armand and Thao added a decorated arch for me to perform their ceremony under.
The weather is always an issue for my couples who plan an outdoor wedding. Luckily, the weather behaved and the rain stayed away for Thao and Armand to get married. Yay! I know they appreciated that just as much as I did. Congratulations again, Thao and Armand!

Alex & Aimee 6-4-09 (Poulsbo, WA Marina)

Alex and Aimee are a couple who I served on June 4th. I recently received pictures from them and had to blog about them!
Their ceremony took place on a dock in Poulsbo. It was a beautiful evening, with the sun shining upon the water. When I arrived, I met up with Alex and Aimee and their witnesses. We walked through the marina and to a floating dock. I wasn't sure how rocky the dock would be -- Aimee assured me that she had some Dramamine on hand, waiting in the car, should any of us need it! (I'm always grateful for humor in any wedding situation.)
Alex, an officer in the Navy, and his bride Aimee, an attorney back in Texas, had selected an intimate, "elopement style" ceremony. They had plans of celebrating back home once Alex was discharged from the Navy and he relocated. Aimee had flown up to Washington state and a few days later, they married. Thank goodness our weather behaved and showed its sunny side to this out of town visitor!
Congratulations, Alex & Aimee -- may you be blessed with many, many, MANY years of happiness!

Wedding Season Is In Full Bloom!

It's been awhile since I have posted a blog. The middle of wedding season is my only excuse! As summer is leading to hotter weather, so are the number of couples getting married. I sat down tonight to tally up how many couples I've served. To date, I am in the mid 200s. I can hardly believe it myself! What a blessing, to have served so many couples.

I've added a few new names to my Preferred Vendors List on my website. A new caterer, a great new DJ are now in the ranks and added. (More on these pros in upcoming blogs.) In the meantime, enjoy the summer -- before long, we'll be back in our fall weather and football season!
