We are getting Married!
Our Story
We are high school sweethearts that have been together for five
years. We got together on a school science club trip in 1999. We have dated
long distance for the past four while attending college. We got engaged
in June 11, 2004 at Shore Acres Botanical Gardens at a view point we had
visited together five years before during the science club trip.
The Wedding
Our Portland, Oregon wedding will be on June 18, 2005 our six
year anniversary. It will be a small (<75 guests) wedding with a little
country feel to it to respect our small town roots. The ceremony and
reception will take place at the East Fork Country Estate in Gresham,
Oregon.
Location
Ceremony
The ceremony will take place at 11:00 am outside in the gazebo with a
view of Mt. Hood in the background. My hometown pastor will officiate
the wedding and a friend will be performing the ceremony music. We will
have three bridesmaids and three groomsman.
Reception
The buffet will be served under the covered area that
leads to the tented tables in the back.
After everyone has eaten the reception will move indoors to the
dance floor and cake cutting. We will be taking our pictures at the
gardens pictured. Mt. Hood is just to the left of the picture.
Menu
Catering is provided by the East Fork. We have chose not to
serve alcohol in order to cut costs and protect the sanity. Our menu
includes:Chicken Cordon Bleu
Vegetarian Pasta
Scalloped Potatoes
Fresh Fruit Display
Cous Cous and Vegetable Salad
Caesar Salad
Assorted Dinner Rolls
Cheese Bread
Sparkling Punch
Lemonade
Iced Tea
Coffee
Cake
The cake is three tiered with a rectangle bottom layer and round
upper layers. The top layer is chocolate fudge cake with chocolate fudge
filling (groom's choice), second layer is white chocolate cake with
macadamia nuts in Bavarian cream and the bottom layer is white cake with
raspberry filling.

Decorations & Flowers
Flowers
This is the bouquet from Martha Stewart I am using as the inspiration
for most of the wedding. We are having LillyPilly do our flowers and
they are going to try and replicate this for me and smaller ones for the
BMs.
Centerpieces:
I am going to do 2-3 potted daisies per table. I
got 27 terra cotta pots at Safeway for $0.25 each. I am going to
purchase the flowers the week of the wedding. I also have three taper
candles for each table.
Tables:
This is the look I am going for on the tables except with
daisies at the center flowers. I love how bright and fun it is. Our
colors are similar to those in the picture we are using a dark purple
and a pale yellow. I am also only using one fabric runner on each table
each of a different pattern. My
mom is going to make us a quilt with the fabric after the wedding.
