Northwest Wedding. Wiebe + Ashley

This was a magical day. Another wedding right smack dab in the foot hills of Mt. Baker. Gorgeous, green, and a tad bit wet. I kept hearing myself say stuff like "ferry land" and "mystical". There was seriously MIST at the ceremony…. it felt like a scene in Lord of the Rings… but in a much more romantic, dreamy way of course. The groom had family that traveled all the way from the Netherlands for this special event. The Netherland family blessed this couple by singing a lovely, endearing song during the ceremony. The reception took place just a few miles down the road at a rocking' old barn. Everyone got down; grubbin', laughing and dancing to celebrate this fantastic marriage. Wiebe and Ashley were so "ga-ga in love", their saga goes all the way back to middle school sweethearts. Honestly, this weddings was A - MA -ZING!

Any "do it yourself" ideas or creations: "We did a lot of our wedding things ourselves, we both enjoy being creative and loved turning this wedding into a work of art that represented who we are as one. Putting up pictures in the barn was inspired by the idea of an artshow/walk gallery presentation to incorporate friends who did not experience the ceremony as a way to tie all of us together and share moments of our lives."

Note from Ashley and Wiebe: "We both greatly appreciate the area we grew up in, our community, and the people that we share our lives with. In creating this day and this wedding, we wanted to do it for those who have given us their love, as much as we wanted it to celebrate and reflect our own love. Having access to the two private venue locations through our friends was a real blessing, and an inspiration in designing this day. It allowed us to have this celebration in an area we know as home; however, the two locations were kept secret from our guests, so we all got to be surprised and enjoy a unique and special day. We felt so fortunate to have all of our friends and family together for a day, it was a whirlwind of unforgettable memories. From dancing our hearts out in the barn, to the rain letting up just enough for us to have a peaceful and gracious ceremony, our wedding day was filled with memories that will live on in our minds."
