Hood B&B provided the breathtaking backdrop of Oregon’s favorite mountain along with acres of fields and flowers. Guests beat the heat with parasols, fans, iced tea and mango margaritas. The newlyweds are off to a secret honeymoon before continuing on their mutual career paths in physical therapy. Congratulations, Jodie and Stoney! View slide show.

Sweet Blessings

Proud Grandfather holds 1 mo old Jonah.

“Thank you for a beautiful ceremony. We really appreciate the time you put into it and thought the prayers were beautiful and appropriate.”

Margie Larsson combined the blessing of her new baby with a house blessing to create a very special family event. Her parents were in town from San Diego for the birth of Jonah Ethan and stayed for the blessing ceremony held last Saturday.

Margie and Petter were married in Sweden, Petter’s homeland, and their 4-yr old son, Evan, was born there as well. The family is now settled in Tigard and devoted to creating a loving environment for the two boys.

Filming a wonderful keepsake.

All smiles after the ceremony.
