Engagement Story: Rachel & Kevin
How he proposed...
Kevin proposed to Rachel in August, 2008, at his parent’s house in Lincoln City, Oregon, were they were in attendance for a family reunion. It was wonderful and quiet, just the two of them. Their rings belonged to Kevin’s grandparents, who had a long and fruitful life, and were happily married until they both passed.
The details so far...
They are to be married on June 27th, 2009, at a small ceremony in Gleneden Beach, Oregon. They are asking that all of our guests create a prayer flag with wishes, words of wisdom, special messages to us on our special day, etc. These will be displayed during the wedding ceremony, and then they will be hung at their home in Arizona. They loved the idea of prayer flags, with the color of the flag and the symbols printed on it create a prayer or offering that the wind distributes to the world each time it brushes the flag. The prayers then becoming a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from wind and sun. They thought it would be a fun and meaningful way to make our guest feel that they are an integral part of this very important day, and are very excited to see what they all come up with!
Rachel and Kevin will also have a reception in Phoenix for all of their friends and family who can not make the trip to Oregon. They are having a picnic themed reception. Since Kevin’s last name is Barry, they are also using a berry theme throughout with strawberries and raspberries, including on their invitations.
We are excited to show you the results of their reception invitation and will be posting it in the future very soon.
