Mark and Donna "On The Roof" At Court In The Square
Seattle, Washington
I left Mark and Donna's wedding ceremony on May 2nd with a happy bounce in my step. It brought me great joy to know a couple so incredibly suited to one another and to create and deliver a ceremony that was truly about the two of them and their closest family and friends.
Mark and Donna worked to create a ceremony that celebrated their "tribe" - their children, grandchildren and closest friends. We had tears, we had laughter and there was so much gratitude in the room.
Mark's son, Rob, flew up from Oregon on the morning of the wedding and returned immediately after the ceremony as his wife was expecting their child "at any moment." I got a happy email from Donna the following day letting me know she and Mark were thrilled Grandparents once again!
Photographer Craig Larsen exquisitely captured Mark and Donna during their ceremony and on the "roof" of Court In the Square. I absolutely insist that every couple I marry at Court in the Square take a "roof top photo" - such a delicious memento immediately following a ceremony!
Mark and Donna do it in Vegas on August 31, 2008. A goofy fun time had by all. Thunka very much.
Title: Flashback with Donna Mark "Ooo Baby Baby" New Year's Eve 2010
Flashback with Donna Mark, along with Steve Lentz on sax, entertains Vera Kywa's students of ballroom dance at the Yorktowne Hotel, York, PA on New Year's Eve 2010.
The very spunky and fun Jenny of www.jennygg.com perfectly captured "Justin's dip" as Justin and Desiree celebrated the end of their wedding ceremony. Justin and Desiree recently held their wedding at Illahee Manor, a waterfront bed and breakfast, in Bremerton, WA.
It was a crazy hot day and while some of us were wilting a bit in the sun (okay, truth!), this beautiful couple happily smiled and glowed the entire time during their ceremony.
I especially loved how Justin's Mother made a few impromptu comments during the ceremony that just seemed to fit each sweet and spontaneous moment. In many ways, the spontaneous and unexpected pieces/moments of a wedding become a unique part of a couple's story - and truth be told, a wedding day usually holds more than a few of these moments!

Title: Mixing SLT into play and looking for opportunity for spontaneous language.MOV
After introducing Bilbo to Ethan (5yo ASD) and providing lots of physical stimulation to meet his sensory needs I am attempting to introduce new words and Makaton signs when I have the 'green light' (he is alert and with me)
Each year, I am so deeply touched by the couples who invite me to create and deliver their wedding ceremonies. And most often, a couple invites me to share in their wedding day by trusting their instinct that we're a lovely fit to partner in the ceremony portion of the day.
As we roll into December, I want to say "thank you" to the couples who have trusted me with their wedding ceremony and to the couples I will have the honor of working with in '09. I cherish this work that I do and in many ways, I continue to thrive and grow in this beautiful work.
Above is a photo that I absolutely love. It was taken a few minutes before Nathan's wedding ceremony this past Summer - we took a minute together and while I don't remember this exact moment, I love this photo because it is "real" - tender, sweet and a little funny, too.
I love many things about Dion and Jamie. One of the things that stood out for me on this couple's wedding day is how Dion and Jamie elegantly involved many of their family and friends into the pre-ceremony part of their wedding day.
For instance, they had young boys handing out programs at two doors and at the elevators.
A greeter was staged at the back of the ceremony area, welcoming guests.
The Bride's Father was an absolutely fabulous pre-ceremony coordinator - and probably a wedding planner in a previous life!
I could go on and on - and what is true is that people LOVED being a part of this couple's wedding day. When family and friends have appropriate jobs/tasks, they feel a true connection to the day.

Title: MIKA - We Are Golden (CD Version)
Paroles/Lyrics :
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Waking up
In the midday sun
What's to live for
You could see what I've done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running
From the things that you'd say
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
I was a boy
At an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Now I'm sitting alone
I'm finally looking around
Left here on my own
I'm gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
I'm still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed dry
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Title: #5 Sept 7 2008 Title of Respect
Curt Crist, www.welcometograce.com
When our Lord was here on the earth, his disciples never ever addressed him without some title of honor. You could go through the gospel records and study every time when they spoke in his presence whether they were speaking to him or about him...whenever they were in his presence with only one exception those who truly followed the Lord on earth always used a title of respect.
That should tell us something at least about respect. These folks recognized who he was in relation to their program. And they respected his position when speaking about him or to him.
Now it's also true in the narrative of the gospels and even in other places, you have the name Jesus sitting there all by it self. That's by design. The Holy Spirit knew what he was doing when he inspired the writing of scripture.
Whenever the context is the Lord's humiliation, his suffering, his earthly name Jesus appears by itself. No title of recognition of position appears with his earthly name.
When you come to the book of acts, an interesting pattern begins to develop. Whenever an unbeliever addressed the Lord or refers to him, they always use just his earthly name, the name Jesus. Those who acknowledge his position make reference to that position.
Examples of those who did not believe in his exalted position during the earthly kingdom program. Those who did not love the Lord. Those who were not his true disciples.
Acts 4:5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
Acts 4:6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
Acts 4:18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Acts 17:5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
Acts 17:6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
Acts 17:7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
This group left off Jesus's rightful title as Messiah. So again it's the unbelievers who are using simply the earthly name of our Lord.
You see talking about Jesus never got anyone in trouble in that day. It was attaching a title to that name Jesus that got people in trouble.
Acts 17:3 .......... this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
Paul was simply pointing out that this earthly Jesus was indeed their Messiah. He was the anointed King of Israel. You see it was the position of honor that caused the problems in God's earthly program.
It's that position of honor given his name that has always bothered the principalities and powers who oppose the authority, the exalted position given Jesus Christ.
Not only Israel's Messiah her promised King, but our Lord and Saviour. The opposition in heavenly places abhors the idea of Christ headship of that exalted position he holds.
An unsaved believer?!?! Demons. They knew who he is but tremble at the thought.
Acts 19:13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
Acts 19:14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
First you have the exorcist using the name Jesus.
Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
The opposition government in the heavenly realm detest the preeminence given our Lord whether the preeminence on earth as Israel's King or the preeminence given the risen Jesus in heavenly places, the exalted Jesus as Lord and saviour and the head of the body of Christ.
Acts 25:18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
Acts 25:19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Never do you see an unbeliever even in God's earthly kingdom program attribute a title of authority that gives credence to Christ's exalted position as Head of the Universe.
Title: Jason Mraz -The Remedy(I Won't Worry) (live)
Well, as I'm now fond of saying, Custer, Washington will never be the same after Parker and Amy's "Happily Ever After" Wedding Weekend Extravaganza this past Saturday, August 1st.
*****
Wedding Planner Stacy Kvam did an extraordinary job in bringing this couple's dream wedding to life. DJ Brian Dale was on hand to help insure the celebration was a resounding success.
And most of all, Parker and Amy's wedding ceremony was sweet, poignant and fun - including a "bee" up Amy's veil during the ceremony!
Parker and Amy - I wish you a blessed life together, wonderful adventures as you embark on your medical careers and my thought for you: "that on your wedding day, this is a day that you loved each other the least!"

Robb and Ann traveled from California to downtown Seattle to be married waterside on October 22nd at the wonderful Edgewater Hotel on Alaskan Way. They exchanged personal vows that were a surprise and it was truly a hankie moment.
The Edgewater Hotel is a favorite of mine for a wedding ceremony and reception - whether the guest list is 2-10 happy people or 200+ happy people.
The weather was iffy during Robb and Ann's wedding week and on Friday afternoon/early evening, the clouds parted and we had beautiful sunshine on the "wedding deck" overlooking the Puget Sound!
Photo Guy Kier from Firstlight Photography was on hand to capture the moment ~ isn't the smile on Ann's face to the right just fabulous?
Robb and Ann ~ How wonderful to have a "place" to return to celebrate your wedding day and future anniversaries!
