The Story of Us
spencer & hilary moore
Married: July 10th, 2010 Ceremony & Reception: Apple Tree Golf Course How he proposed: “We were supposed to have a night in and watch movies, and so he was supposedly putting in ‘Iron Man,’ and instead it was a movie all about us, with pictures and stories that he made. At the end of the movie it said, “Go get dressed up baby, I’m taking you out.” We ended up driving to the Arboretum, where he took me out to the pond and got on one knee and … dropped the ring in the dirt. Which we then searched for in the dark, but I let him know my answer was yes! Photo by Christel Clear

ear brides (and grooms!) to be: If you’re reading this, you’re very likely somewhere in the process of planning a local wedding: congratulations! A new year always brings change, and for many this involves tying the knot, or at least making the first step in that direction with an engagement. This issue of Yakima Valley Bride covers topics on each end of the wedding spectrum. As always, we are featuring weddings of local couples, so you can get an idea of the “look and feel” of a Yakima wedding. The pictures are all gorgeous — you won’t be disappointed! — and we hope they can help you figure out what’s right for you and your significant other. We’ve expanded some of the wedding stories this time around so you can enjoy each couple’s process from getting engaged to getting hitched. We also have some wedding tips from people who have been through the whole process before (many worth serious consideration). Rings have remained powerful symbols for various milestones, and they represent
12 | Yakimabride.com | Spring • Summer 2011
the commitment and love that comes with marriage. With that in mind, we’ve provided examples of creative marriage proposals along with an array of “ring shots” to inspire you to create innovative ideas and put them into action during your own romantic day. Make sure to take a look at our comprehensive list of ceremony and reception sites, starting on page 46, which lists all the information you need when starting your quest for location. There’s also an ad index on pages 56-57 that contains more resources for your planning. Don’t forget our HUGE list of resources on yakimabride.com, too.

was October 11, 2002, and my girlfriend Kimberly and I were celebrating our third anniversary as a couple. I booked a room at the Four Seasons Olympic Hotel in Seattle. That Friday we were heading to see the traveling Broadway version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. We arrived in Seattle early that afternoon and dined at the hotel’s luxurious restaurant, The Georgian. With what seemed like the entire wait staff catering to our every culinary wish, I felt like we were one step away from them singing Be Our Guest right at our table. It wasn’t during dinner that I popped the question; instead, I had something else in store for her. A limousine picked us up after our multi-course dinner, and Norman, our limo driver, was in on the
14 | Yakimabride.com | Spring • Summer 2011
whole thing. By now it was getting dark as he drove us around to see downtown Seattle, the waterfront, and a glittering glimpse of the Space Needle. The big moment was now at hand. As we cruised down the road to Paramount Theatre, Norman announced nonchalantly, “Let’s take a look at the coming attractions.” I tried to sound casual as I replied, “Oh, OK.” Several trees blocked the front of the theater, but as we pulled closer, I watched as Kimberly scanned the sizable marquee in front. Its intense light penetrated nighttime Seattle with the simple yet profound question: “Kimberly, Will You Marry Me? Scott.” At this point, I heard her sharp intake of breath, and that was my cue to swoop down on my knee in front of her on the
floor of the limousine, and present her with the open green Dunbar Jewelers box containing her engagement ring. After several choked-up attempts, she managed to say yes to me. It took her some time to gather her wits, and though she enjoyed the play later, she clearly had much more on her mind. When we returned to the hotel, I had another surprise in store for her. In our suite, beyond the French doors to the bedroom, deep red rose petals were strewn out over the bed in the shape of a heart with others scattered on the floor and on the side tables. I took Kimberly to see a play about a princess, but in the end I wanted her to feel like the princess that night, and eventually, my queen. Y

Proposals
H ow Should I propose?
T
Hough it’s difficult to locate a time and place for the traditional marriage proposal, you might want to follow the tried-and-true method of bending down on one knee. Yes, it’s formal and perhaps too antiquated for many, but here’s why it might be a good idea. Kneeling is common in historical ceremonies, ranging from religious traditions to receiving an honor or medal, or even being knighted. Bending down on one knee puts the kneeler in an open, vulnerable position — think of it as a physical sign that you are giving your
16 | Yakimabride.com | Spring • Summer 2011
all to your bride, include a lifetime of openness and servitude. If kneeling isn’t your thing, don’t sweat it. It’s certainly not a requirement, and many people don’t propose on one or both knees anymore, but it’s not a bad choice to act on the side of tradition, especially when it shows such a sign of respect and honor! Do I need to get permission before I propose? Other questions might be swirling in your head besides the method of proposing. Do you ask the bride’s family beforehand for a blessing, or do you just go ahead and ask the bride-to-be?
Again, there’s no clear-cut answer since so many marriage proposals — and expectations of marriage proposals — have evolved over time and have arguably become more flexible. It’s not unheard of for women to pop the question as well. Do you keep the proposal a surprise or let her in on the “secret”? Even if you make the marriage proposal a surprise, chances are you are both already in the know beforehand, especially if you and your partner have figured out you’ll get married. Some couples even have the marriage date in mind before the actual proposal occurs.

Do you surprise her with a ring of your own choosing, or do you let her help you pick it out? Get a feel for what she prefers. Some brides will trust her man and want the ring selection to be a complete surprise, while other brides might know exactly the ring they want, or more importantly, what is unacceptable. Either way, get a feel for what your bride wants and move forward accordingly. Think about it: If you are ready to get married, you should already have a good idea of what will work and what won’t. Y

Reader Tips
from Facebook
We asked our Facebook readers: What’s the best advice for the bride and groom planning their wedding? Shannon Helgeson:
I always tell my friends to plan on one glitch. With so much planning and delegating there’s bound to be a glitch. (a friend of mine’s glitch: the florist delivered the flowers a weekend early) If you’re mentally prepared when it happens you can take it in stride. If it never does, then all the better.
Melissa Christianson: Be yourself, pay cash (as in don’t go into debt!), & remember it’s more about the marriage than the wedding.
Valerie Graham: Have fun! NOT stress about the small stuff—it won’t matter to Kari Montgomery DeLozier: Domake a great story for your children one day.
anybody in 20 years. And even the big mishaps will
Danielle Crawford: Expect things not to go perfect, then you won’t be upset when something goes wrong.
Patti Lee Thielen: Spend more time
planning for the marriage than you do planning for the wedding. Pre-marital counseling is a wise investment.”

as told by the couple
A planner and a romantic, Kyle set up the entire day — here is how it went: Kadee wakes up and sees two envelopes on the mirror from Kyle. The first one explains that someone will be there to pick her up at 10 a.m. and she needs to be ready ... and not to open the second one until then. At 10 a.m. Kadee’s mom (the driver for the day) pulls up to Kadee’s house with a white rose. Kadee looks inside the second envelope and finds a picture of her and Kyle with directions to their favorite breakfast spot. At breakfast, Kadee and her mom are seated along with Kyle’s sisters, mother and other friends and family, each holding a white rose for Kadee. Kadee receives another envelope with a picture of her feet at a baseball game earlier that summer, directing Kadee and her mom to go to the pedicure place near Kyle’s old apartment. After pedicures, Kadee’s mom hands Kadee another envelope with a picture of all the boys in Kyle’s family, along with
instructions for Kadee to be dropped off at the spot where they spent their first date — a miniature golf course. At the golf course, Kadee finds Kyle’s brothers and two best friends holding white roses. Kadee then has to endure an entire mini-golf round with all of these guys. After golf, Kadee is handed another envelope with a picture of the place where she and Kyle first kissed — an outdoor basketball court in Ballard. That’s where she’s headed to next. Once there, Kadee’s sister Tessa is waiting with a white rose, then whisks Kadee off to Starbucks for coffee, a chat and some relaxation for an hour. Then, another envelope appears with a picture of Kadee and Kyle’s summer-sunset-watching spot at Golden Gardens Beach in Ballard. The two sisters head there. At Golden Gardens, Tessa gives Kadee yet another envelope: a picture of Kadee as a baby and her dad, with instructions to
walk down the boardwalk. As Kadee starts walking, she sees her her dad coming toward her from the opposite end, a white rose and envelope in hand. In the envelope is a picture of Kyle and Kadee at “their dock,” a place on Kyle’s grandpa’s property where they spent a few nights camping. Kadee and her dad arrive at the property near Seattle’s Discovery Park, where she walks down the drive toward the dock. Kyle appears at the end of the drive holding a red rose for her. The two make their way to the end of the dock, where a gift sits waiting. Kadee grabs it and shakes it. Inside is a basketball piggy bank that Kyle has had since he was 18. Usually very full and very heavy, the basketball was empty except for a single quarter. Not what she was expecting to find inside, Kadee turns around to find Kyle down on one knee, holding out a ring. She said yes! Spring • Summer 2011 | Yakimabride.com |

“We had our 1-year-old puppy, Chesney Belle, come for some pictures pre-ceremony.”
In her own words… “We decorated the bar in all Washington Huskies décor. A flag, buttons, beads table mat ... etc. Since we met through basketball and both coached it, we bought two pop-ashots and set them up at the wedding for guests to play with. The pop-a-shots had electronic scoreboards on them, so during the course of the reception we decided to do a rematch from our first date (I beat Kyle at pop-a-shot then). I lost — he redeemed himself.”

as told by the couple
Jeff had purchased the engagement ring sometime in July and was waiting for the perfect time to drop down on one knee. He woke up on Nov. 11, 2008, with a lot of love in his heart and knowing that this would be the day. After a late morning workout, the two planned to take a drive through the mountains. Secretly, Jeff had ordered their favorite food from Olive Garden to-go. He covered the food with blankets to hide it, gassed up the car and placed the ring inside the power outlet. They left for the hills and ended up parking along the Little Naches River,

where they went for a walk with their dog Panda. When they came back, Jeff handed Amber his phone and asked her to charge it for him. When Amber went to open the flap to plug in the phone the ring popped out. Meanwhile Jeff was already down on one knee waiting to ask the big question. Without any hesitation, Amber immediately said yes. Afterward they enjoyed the surprise dinner underneath the stars. Since the couple didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have phone service to call and tell the good news, they had to wait an hour on the drive home before they could share their excitement.
