Even though their wedding was postponed due to the epidemic, these two lived happily ever after.

Dionne has always held a special place in my heart because I originally met her when she worked at Port Gamble Weddings several years ago, and we stayed in touch ever since. It wasn't long after Chris proposed that she reached out to me and asked me to be her wedding planner, which I gladly accepted!

No matter what obstacle was thrown their way over the course of more than 2 years of planning, they never let anything stop them from having their dream day! There were a few points weeks leading up to their wedding we weren’t even sure where we were going to be at, but lucky for them, our state opened up and they could have everything they wanted just like they had originally planned! It was no small feat for them and their vendor team to be ready for anything.

Dionne was a dream client coming from the wedding planning business, knowing precisely what she wanted and having reasonable expectations when it came to her vision and her wedding. Her linen choices were the only component of her plan that changed, and I believe that was the best alteration she could have made.

One of the best moments from this perfect day was during the ceremony when Dionne’s uncle (the brother of her father who passed away a few years ago) along with his incredible barbershop quartet sang a beautiful son to honor his niece. It was such a moving tribute and there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd and there was no doubt that Dionne’s dad's presence was there for his only daughter’s day.

To cap off the night, guests were treated to a spectacular fireworks display, thanks to their venue, Laurel Creek Manor.

Chris + Dionne, thank you for allowing me to be part of your day and I treasure our friendship so much! Thank you!
