Perfect Portland Parade Day Wedding

 
Weddings in the Portland area scheduled for the same day as the Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade are normally a risky proposition if planned for outdoors. I remember several years ago being outside in wine country with no indoor option and playing music from under a canopy as heavy rain fell for most of the wedding.
 
The last few days featured some real unsettled weather, but fortunately for Katie and Blaine, the sun returned for the outdoor ceremony held at The Airee at Eagle Landing in Happy Valley, Oregon on June 9, 2012. Rev. Robert Griffen with A Perfect Ceremony officiated the wedding and Katie chose The Beatles ‘Here Comes The Sun’ as her entrance song… that was about the first time we saw the sun that day 🙂
 
Wedding Highlights:
 
Ceremony

• Bridal Party Entrance: Michael Buble – Everything
• Bride Entrance: Beatles – Here Comes The Sun
• Bride/Groom Exit: Turtles – Happy Together

Reception

• Cake Cutting: Beatles – All You Need Is Love
• First Dance: Train – Marry Me
• Bride and Father Dance: Heartland – I Loved Her First
• Groom and Mother Dance: Boyz II Me – A Song For Mama
• Bouquet Toss: Beyonce – Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
• Garter Toss: David Rose & His Orchestra – The Stripper
• Last Dance: Beatles – When I’m Sixty-Four

With just shy of 50 guests in attendance, this was a laid back group who mostly enjoyed just listening to the music while visiting with each other. Still, there were a few bursts of activity on the dance floor, with Oldies and Country tunes especially popular.
 
Thank you Katie and Blaine for the opportunity. Congratulations! -Rich
