Weddings at the new Rosehill Community Center in Mukilteo, WA are always fun! Their staff has always been extremely helpful and accommodating. Photos of this wedding are from a wedding for Kari & Dan earlier this spring. I was thinking of their wedding as I will be revisiting Rosehill next Sunday, for another wedding couple I will be serving.
I always enjoy a couple who chooses to incorporate their heritage so their Celtic theme was a welcomed sight. My husband is also Celtic, both Scottish and Irish, and my mother's side of the family has Scottish connections as well. We often will frequent the Highland Games in Skagit county to get our taste of our history. For Dan & Kari's wedding, I had a front row to the rich culture that the Celtic heritage has to offer! Dan & Kari chose to incorporate the Celtic handfasting ceremony. I have had the honor of performing this age-old wedding ritual for several couples. What I love about the handfasting ceremony is the variations that can be included. From the ribbons to the personalization of the blessings.....the ideas are endless! Kari and Dan's photographers were able to capture highlights of the handfasting ceremony (see above).
I would be able to see these newlyweds later this year, when it was Kari's turn to hold a different wedding role, this time for one of her maids of honor's weddings this summer. It just goes to show you that you never know when you may be seeing a past client (or when you might be observed as a potential wedding officiant for a future client)! Congratulations Dan & Kari Lott !!
