Sunny skies and lush greenery greeted guests Saturday at the wedding of Whitney and Stephen. Shades of ivory, green and lavender decorated the pavilion at Hoyt Arboretum. The bride took extra care to hand write everything from the program to labels for beverages including white wine sangria and sparkling gin limeade. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Thaxton!

PERFECT ISLAND WEDDING
As in Hayden Island. A swift wind and planes overhead didn’t detract from a beautiful ceremony yesterday for Marli and Dave. It was a case of Italian meatballs meets Swedish meatballs as Dave is pure Italian and Marli is Scandinavian. And what a lovely combination. In keeping with tradition, guests were treated to an authentic Scandinavian tower cake which is made with marzipan. It’s served by breaking off pieces of the braid until all the layers are gone. Congratulations, Marli and Dave, may your days together be filled with moments of sweetness and joy. View slide show on next page. Continue reading “PERFECT ISLAND WEDDING”

The newlyweds, both local artists, will enjoy a getaway at the Oregon coast before returning to their home in Milwaukie. Congratulations, Tammy and Owen, may your sweet energy nurture your marriage and bring many blessings your way. View slide show on next page. Continue reading “A Perfect Wedding Day!”
