Officiant
Norman Jones, Our Friend and Wedding Officiant. Norman has a smile that literally fills every space. His laugh is as big as his heart... and his heart is huge. We cannot wait to celebrate our special day with Norman and his lifelong partner, David. We love you both and thank you for sharing your lovely home and life with us.
Daughter of the Groom
My Baby Girl! Amber is 23 now and was born a few minutes ahead of her twin Marcus (see Best Man), who she likes to refer to as her younger brother. Amber is very caring and vibrant…..and has her dad’s heart wrapped around her finger. Amber will walk me down the aisle and is thrilled that I have Patty to spend my life with ❤️
Son of the Bride
This is my handsome son Wyatt Hunter Swift! He is currently a student at the University of Washington in Seattle. He's not only humorous, clever and good-looking--- he's kind and cares about social justice, people, animals, and the planet. Wyatt is walking me down the aisle... to make sure I don't trip on my dress (smile). I'm happy that he sees me happy because that also makes him happy. My Bubba. My favorite person. I love you dearly.
Best Man
My Buddy! This kid grew up my chicken strip guy and is now vegan! What a wonderful person he is and a great son! He’s a caring twin to Amber ❤️ We watched all 23 Marvel movies at the theater and almost all of them the night before opening day. Yelm Cinemas Buddy! I’m looking forward to standing next to him on such a special day! He is happy that his Dad is happy 👊
Maid of Honor
5th-grade class and Sue sat in front of me ("Fox" before "Hunter"). I was fascinated with her braces. Never met anyone with braces before! She liked my green Earth shoes and she wore purple ones (what????) . Turned out we lived around the corner from each other. She had just moved to Lakewood from Oregon. We came from such different backgrounds but it didn't matter. Laughter brought us together and has kept us going! 46 years of friendship. Sue is my "sister-friend", Vegas buddy, and confidant. We've been through so much together. I really can't imagine my life without you, Sue! Thank you for being my friend and for standing as my witness on this special day. We Love you!
Ring Bearer
Name:Dusty Mittens DOB: UKN, found side of road 14 yrs ago Crime: scarfing down old bread thrown out in the yard meant for wildlife to enjoy. Markings/Tatts: two white spots on stomach. One looks like a dove bird, and second looks like a heart Warning: approach with smoked ham and she will eagerly show you her dove and heart. Dusty is too old to travel. But she will be with us in spirit.
