Getting Creative With Your "Presentation Of The Rings" - Kick It Up A Bit!

No matter if your ceremony is formal or casual, large or intimate, most likely there are wedding rings to be presented.

If you have having a wedding with a processional or an intimate gathering, consider a unique way to present your rings.

I encourage a couple to ask a special relative or friend to contribute an item on which to present the rings. This could be a book, a beautiful old-fashioned pillow w/a story, a crafted box, in a special shell from a sentimental place or perhaps looped around the neck of a stuffed childhood animal. This way, instead of the "usual pillow," you have a beautiful memento to take home from your ceremony and you have honored a special person in your life.

Title: Getting Creative at Camp

We saw the potential for the waves the day before so we got motivated and set our alarms to get up early. We woke up at 6am ran down the forest to check the surf, before having tea, or breakfast, but onshore wind, and rain showers send us all back to our sleeping bags.
Kassia and Lee-Anne decided to go brave the victory at sea and surf the beach brake down the street. In the meantime Jen, Lindsay and I headed to the hardware store and bought 5 cans of spray-paint with the intentions of getting creative back at the camp.
We all meet up back at the house, and we decided to get all Cray Cray on the tent, and some random pieces of canvas, so we spent the afternoon making stencils, and transformed an average tent into a master piece. Then we decided to head to the movie store, and have a movie night
Day 11 has been one of my favorite days on the Road trip, as this lay day gave us all the opportunity to show off our creative skills. I was pleasantly surprised with everyone’s skills, especially Lindsay stencils. Fingers crossed the surf is fun in the morning

Irwin and Dawn at The Willows Lodge ~ Great Fun, Sweet Moments And A Memorable Unity Candle!

Dawn and Irwin had one big wish for their wedding ceremony and celebration ~ they truly wanted it to be a FUN and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

They succeeded...and in a big way. And truly, this isn't always easy to do. Why?

Dawn and Irwin kept everything related to "all things wedding" beautifully in perspective. They inherently knew what was important for their day and what didn't rate on their "wedding scale."

Irwin is one of those guys who is a party unto himself! People just love him and gravitate to him. Dawn is beautiful, a bit more reserved and accomplished ~ a perfect complement to her guy!

Dawn and Irwin ~ Not only did you have sunshine but you indeed set your unity candle ablaze!

Planning A Small and Intimate Wedding Ceremony? My Three Top Tips For A Memorable Experience...

Congratulations to David & Lisa!

"On their wonderful wedding day, West Seattle..."

____________________________________________

My husband, Greg and I, were married five years ago this week in a small ceremony in our backyard with two couples we love and our Officiant - oh yes, and our four dogs! A party and honeymoon cruise followed but when we look back on our ceremony, we have such wonderful memories - for us, it was perfect.

And having done this wonderful work now with many couples of different wants/needs, I offer you three of my favorite "top tips" for a marvelous and memorable "small ceremony experience."

1. 2-25 family/friends is a perfect "guest count" for a small wedding experience. Create a personalized wedding ceremony and involve each of your guests for an 'inclusive' and loving experience.

2. Enjoy a dinner or evening out immediately afterwards with your family and friends at a venue that can easily take care of all celebration details - i.e., Palisade Restaurant, The Space Needle, The Woodmark Hotel, the Herbfarm, etc. Taking your celebration to a restaurant or fancy hotel/resort takes any stress off of planning a celebration at a private residence - many less details to worry about!

3. Enjoy and take (don't put it off) a marvelous honeymoon - whether it is staying local for a few days or perhaps a cruise to Alaska (so easy from the Seattle waterfront!). We took our first cruise as our honeymoon and are taking our sixth cruise this Winter - it's become one of our favorite indulgences and brings back those "first married memories" every time.

Andre and Amanda's Beautiful March Wedding Day ~ The Pickering Barn, Issaquah, WA

Andre and Amanda

March 20, 2010

The Pickering Barn

Okay, just look at these sweet smiling faces!

Andre and Amanda are one of those young "it" couples. They met as teen-agers and have created a most remarkable, loving and compassionate relationship over the past six years. And for a big chunk of those years, this included a long-distance relationship.

In front of 200+ family and friends, Andre and Amanda exchanged their vows. A sweet moment in the ceremony for me was when little flower girl Nola walked down the aisle. I was fortunate to have married her parents, Mark and Meghan, a few years ago at Bastyr Chapel and if you know this couple, their little girl is going to be a dynamo in life!

Andre and Amanda - thank you for trusting me with your story. I left your ceremony with a little lilt in my step ~ it was fun to be back in my old neighborhood (Issaquah), where I lived for six years before moving to Bainbridge Island.

The Marvelous Mayflower Park Hotel and James and Elaine's Wedding Ceremony...

James and Elaine Booth

April 25, 2009, Alexis Hotel

James and Elaine were married at the marvelous Mayflower Park hotel in late April in downtown Seattle. Married in the upper level foyer of the hotel's lobby near the fireplace, James and Elaine's wedding ceremony was a mix of the traditional, the contemporary and with a bit of fun. And let's not forget the "fire truck" and the photos on the truck truck immediately following their ceremony (James is one of those handsome firemen!).

If you looking for a unique and history filled venue for your ceremony and celebration, consider the Mayflower Park Hotel. The staff is amazing and don't get me started on the food!

Title: COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE, COLLECTIVE STUPIDITY, AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR

Back in the 60s, shortly before the Mayflower, I was involved in Intelligence Research and found that the individual IQ could be elevated from an average of 102 to 140 give or take within 90 days. The method I applied was the managed exposure to challenging information. Following Google and YouTube I repeatedly pointed to the significant increase of available data that improves the playground for the human Intelligence by its mere presence.
--- Dr. Thomas Malone of MITs Center for Collective Intelligence defined the concept of collective intelligence as doing things collectively that seem intelligent. I would add to that the collective ability to solve problems. Of course there are caveats. Dr. Malone points to the fact that collective intelligence is just as real as collective stupidity. --- Interesting concept. Lets take the rear view mirror and look at the last eight years. The caveat I mentioned is that leaders with a certain degree of intellectual inflexibility use fear to keep the collective from demanding action, or for that matter even questioning the ability to lead. By the way, that does not only apply to leaders, it applies as well to Senators, as you experienced. --- The human brain itself is the most marvelous thing imaginable to the analyst. Now take the collective brain. And then go one step further and imagine that the AVERAGE IQ is raised to 140 not at all impossible as I showed in the 60s. But then it would take a leader who concentrates on the advancement of mankind. Think about it. Just think about the potential to solve the collective problems we face!

Planning Your 2009 Wedding - Thoughts and Ponderings From the Ceremony Side...

Planning your wedding for next year?

This is the time of year (Fall/Winter) when I meet with couples who are putting the planning pieces together - small weddings, unusual weddings, large and formal affairs, a casual home affair, a wedding by the sea and so much more.

And here's what I know for sure as I move into 2009:

- When planning your wedding ceremony, focus on the "two of you." What you want and desire for your ceremony and how you can incorporate your family and friends in a meaningful way that will create a memory for a lifetime. Your ceremony is a "one time only" ritual - give it the respect and care it deserves - whether formal or casual, large or intimate.

- Remember that you can "swing both ways" - within your ceremony, you have the lovely opportunity to incorporate traditional pieces/elements and contemporary elements. This is true whether you are religious, spiritual or secular.

- And most of all, consider the possibility of a weekday wedding for serious savings and don't put off or miss the opportunity for an immediate honeymoon. Even if your post-wedding time together is a day, a few days or a week or two, take the time to decompress and truly relish in the joy of starting your new partnership - together.
