2011 has been an amazing year for weddings. I have had the honor of
performing ceremonies in a variety of beautiful locations and the pleasure of
working with so many wonderful couples.
My "wedding weather karma" came through once again for an entire season.
None of my outdoor weddings got rained on and every weding was beautiful. I feel
that I am the luckiest person alive to have such a fulfilling and enjoyable
career.
Some of my favorites though are the elopement packages that I've offered to
a few couples. This is a package that includes location (my 11 acres of wooded
paradise in the country with the ceremony on the custom built dock of a trout
pond), Officiate, custom ceremony and vows, 1 hour photography on CD (2nd
photographer for during ceremony) champagne toast and beautiful decor. It turns
an elopement into a dream wedding for the couple and up to 10 of their closest
friends & family. 
Other locations I had the privelage to perform at this summer have
been;
Bell Tower Chapel Heathman Lodge Hoyt Arboretum The Aerie at Eagle's
Landing
Skamania Lodge Postlewait's Country Gardens Laurelhurst Club Edgefield
Youngberg Hills Vineyard Weatherfords Grand Lodge Peninsula Park Abernethy
Center & Gardens Rockaway Beach Deepwood Estates Canby Ferry Vista Hills
Winery Kennedy School Pioneer Community Center Cedar Springs Country Estate and
many many many wonderful weddings in homes and backyards.
Every wedding is special and unique no matter the size or the location. I
have one more ceremony this fall that I am looking forward to most of all. That
will be my 15 year Vow Renewal ceremony to my wonderful husband.
On October 12, 2011, Gene and I will be renewing our vows on the beach of
Maui with 12 of our closest friends. Rather than exchanging rings, we will
exchange leis as we say our vows to each other.
The ceremony will be performed by my dear friend Tonya Koski of Top Hat
Style Weddings in Tri-Cities, Washington. The photography will be provided by my
friend Juston of CardwellPhotography.com. Hair and makeup will be done by my
friend Janee', owner of Shears2You in Oregon City. Best Man and Maid of Honor
will be our two best lifelong friends, Dr. Michael Coffman and Ms. Lynn Yut. My
honorary attendants will be Stefanie, Patti, Robbie, Laura Lee and Lynette. They
will all be wearing Carribean Blue.
I will be walking down the aisle to Bruno Mars, "Just the way you are" and
finishing up with Colbie Callet singing "I Do".
The rest of the week I plan to relax, play and have fun. Snorkeling is my
all-time favorite activity in Hawaii. I will not stress or obsess over ceremony
details once we get there (hopefully) and just keep it fun and casual.
Thank you for following my Blog and I hope that you have had a wonderful
year also!!

I found my dream destination wedding gown last January at the Brides
Against Breast Cancer gown sale in Portland, Oregon. It is in ivory and that's
all I'm telling! You'll just have to wait for photos.
