From A Groom's Perspective

Sometimes getting your groom involved in the wedding planning process can be a daunting task. If you are trying to share the wedding planning experience with your groom-to-be and often receive that glazed over stare in return, check out this video recorded by a local groom who attended the Seattle Wedding Show this year. Consider it a mini-documentary from the groom's perspective. He was a bit overwhelmed by the experience, but offers insight into the male mind in a slightly humorous way.

We give him an "A" for effort.

Real Engagement: Katherine & Alex

Congratulations to Katherine Norkin and Alexander Stewart. Katherine and Alex are planning a wedding for August 22, 2009 in Snohomish, Washington.

How Alex proposed...
"I was flying down to California where Alex attends Fresno State to become a wine maker and be with him on my birthday. My birthday morning, Alex tells me we are going to take a trip to the beach. I pack everything and we head out. 3 hours later we arrive in Asilomar and Alex parks the car and tells me to wait. I have no idea what he is doing until he comes back with a room key and says that we are staying at this resort on the beach. I couldn't believe it, it was the most gorgeous place. [The next morning] Alex wakes up and says he heard the sunset there was amazing and he really wants to see it with me. I of course roll over and tell him it's too cold and I am tired. He freaks out a little and says, "no.. come on, it will be fun." After almost 10 mins of pursuading me to get up, I get up and we walk hand in hand down to the beach. We sat in the sand and I still didn't know why to this day that I didn't notice Alex being extremely silent. After the sunrise, we get up and start walking. Alex of course is lagging behind and anytime I looked at him he started to mumble that he loves me with all his heart, and that I am the girl of his dreams and how happy he is to have me. I of course say it all back in return and continue walking. At that moment, he turns to look at me and all at once...I knew. Before he could even ask yet, I start to tear up and he drops to his knee and asks me if I will be his wife..."

Amy & Michael's first date was well before they fell in love, actually it was 2 1/2 years before they starting dating each other. Amy was at his house with a bunch of friends just hanging out and she secretly wanted to get away with just him. So jokingly during a conversation she suggested that he take her to dinner. Well it worked! He totally loved the idea and they left for dinner about 15 minutes later. Michael took Amy to a wonderful little Italian restaurant, called Romeo's just down the road. It was very romantic and it was just the two of them.

On Valentine's Day of 2008, Michael asked Amy to be his wife and she said "yes."

An Engagement Story

Ashley and Justin met last April while they were working at Nordstrom. Justin is a reservist in the Marine Corps and at the time was a manager in the Women's Shoe Department at Nordstrom when Ashley transferred to his store. Working as the operator in Customer Service, Ashley needed to respond to a disappointed customer and needed the assistance of a manager in Women's Shoes. Standing around looking for a recognizable face, Ashley was approached by Justin. Immediately, she started to blush as he was just the man she had wanted to put a name to his face since she spotted him weeks before. He smiled flirtatiously and gave her his business card to refer to the upset customer. Although the introductions were brief, it was only minutes later that Ashley claimed to her manager that she had met her future husband. Read more about this couple...
