Seattle Holiday Weddings 2015: What I Remember…
Traditionally, Christmas week is quiet for weddings in Seattle.
In Seattle this year (I’ve heard this from wedding planners, too), there has been a tiny “gold rush” of weddings. 
Congratulations to: John and Ying (Ray’s Boathouse), Catrina and Patrick (Tibbetts Creek Manor), Trisha and Nancy (Beecher’s Loft).
Much happiness to: Jim and Sheryl (Bainbridge Island), Emil and Emily (Pike Place Market), Steve and Tara (Fairmont Olympic Hotel), Abdiel and Perla (West Seattle).
Blessings for their marriage adventure: William and Pinga (Bellevue), Alex and Sarah (The Willows Lodge), Chris and Aislinn (Palisade) and Ron and Laurie (The Willows Lodge).
As I sit here on this “first new day” of the 2016 work year, I look back on this group of loving couples and remember and ponder…
- how wedding dogs Chip and Bear brought so much joy to John and Ying’s wedding ceremony!
- that I wish Catrina and Patrick lived next door to us on Bainbridge Island.
- how inspired I am by Trisha and Nancy’s loving relationship.
- That Jim is one of the most romantic guys on the planet.
- How Emil and Emily brought down the house at Pike Place Market with their outdoor ceremony.
- How New Year’s Eve was so festive at the Fairmont Olympic, celebrating Steve and Tara.
- That William could start a new clothing line of Seahawks wedding apparel!
- how Alex and Sarah celebrated 10 years together and that puppy, Patrone, looked way too handsome in his tux!
- That Chris and Aislinn are blessed not only with each other but with their 6 children.
- And how elegant Ron and Laurie were, surrounded by their children, as they wed.
