A Joyful Wedding Day For An Inspiring and Devoted Couple at Newcastle Golf & Country Club...

Marian and Anousith

Newcastle Golf & Country Club

July 22, 2012

What a classy, heartfelt, joyful and beautiful couple!

I had the pleasure of officiating Marian and Anousith's wedding ceremony this past Sunday afternoon at the Newcastle Golf & Country Club, surrounded by 250 family and friends.

What did I take away from this wedding experience?

Devotion.  With a wedding ceremony featuring many personal elements, we celebrated this couple's devotion. 

Marian and Anousith's path to this past Sunday is profound - their love story is beautiful - and for people who know this couple, downright inspiring.  Marian and Anousith - you remind me that love comes in all packages and that a conscious and mature form of love is a magical elixir in life. 

Thank you.

Seattle Bride Magazine's "Best Of" 2012 Award - What This Really Means To Me...

Simply.  Thank You.  "Best Of" 2012 - Finalist

Each year, Seattle Bride Magazine holds a big awards gala to announce the finalists and winners of the "Best of" awards program.

I found out after the fact that I was a Finalist for the Magazine's "Best Of" in the Officiant category for 2012.

This touches my heart.  Why?  Perhaps not for the reason you may think.

I'm touched because I did not "campaign" for this recognition.  No postcards. No phone calls.  No emails.  And no social networking.

This means more to me because it came directly from my couples and the wedding professionals who know my work.

So, thank you.  It is such a privilege to do the work that I do.

Don's Love Letter To His Beautiful Bride, Sandra - "Everybody Look Up!"

Don & Sandra - June 30, 2012

The Willows Lodge, Woodinville, WA

Don is one funny guy.  Sandra is one heartfelt and beautiful woman.

Together, Don and Sandra are a remarkable couple and in the words of their Wedding Planner, Lisa Chambers, "they are totally amazing."

We all had the pleasure of sharing in Don and Sandra's wedding day this past Saturday at The Willows Lodge.  Lisa did a gorgeous job in the design and execution of Don and Sandra's ceremony space and celebration.  She also worked with Don to create a beautiful "after ceremony" surprise for Sandra.

Promptly at 5:45 p.m. (45 minutes after our 5:00 p.m. ceremony) and at the beginning of cocktail hour, Sandra looked to the sky and found a small plane with a banner trailing behind - all for her!  Guests were elated and I loved the look on Sandra's face when she figured out what was going on.

Don - not only do I love your heart and your sense of humor...you are one very romantic and sweet guy.  I wish you and your beautiful bride a beautiful marriage adventure!
