I Pledge Allegiance to Your Love

Today's wedding is focused on Washington, DC. As I mentioned the other week, when I was 12 I went with my family to DC, and I fell in love with the town. It's always been my dream to live there (and work at the Smithsonian, drool!), and my sister and I's hope to one day open a restaurant there (we've got it all worked out).

For today's wedding, I wanted to showcase some of the amazing architecture of DC. There's so much to see, but not many places that will let you have a wedding or reception there (darn you, national archives!).

So for the wedding, the National Cathedral. Oh yum. And the reception? The Daughters of the American Revolution's Banquet Hall. Double yum.

Add a little southern hospitality and DC glamor, and you've got such a beautiful wedding. Enjoy!

A Love Blessed by God

There's nothing more beautiful than a lovely wedding in a cathedral, with the lights streaming through the stained glass windows. For our Seattle catholic wedding, what better location than Seattle's iconic St. James Cathedral. Our ceremony, a non-mass ceremony, takes place in mid afternoon, our bride resplendent in a Melissa Sweet gown with a bouquet of blue hydrangea. Her attendants in matching floor-length iridescent gowns by Watters, and her cute little flower girl in a dress matching the hydrangea flowers carried by the bride and maids.


The ceremony, a full Roman Catholic wedding mass, with the programs filled with the music for the ceremony, in a matching blue theme. In the ceremony itself, many representations of the joining of two - the union candles, and a personalized bible with the couple's names and wedding date, used by the priest to join them before God.


After the ceremony, a nice sit-down dinner at the Sorrento Hotel, following the blue theme. on top of the cake, a lovely cake topper of the cross with entwined wedding rings.


Solemn, sweet, and filled with the commitment the couple have for each other and God. Lovely.
