Daughter Freja born in 2008 daughter No. 2, Maia, was born in 2010. Life settled down somewhat in 2014 and the couple saw an window to wed. Plans were solidified and in place within a month. “We chose October. We love the change in seasons, the days are still long, and oh those autumn colors,” Kathleen said. The wedding party included the bride and groom’s imme- diate families, 10 in all. Cannon Beach proved a perfect loca- tion and the Stephanie Inn the ideal setting. “I first called our families and asked them to join us. Then I called the Stephanie Inn. The staff at the Inn worked with us suggesting and providing everything we needed. They were so graciously accommodating.” After the long wait, the couple were ready to put on their finest to say their “I do’s.” “I had seen a picture of Prince William’s wife, Kate, wear- ing a shrug. I searched far and wide for one like it. I ended up buying it in the U.K. through eBay. Amazingly it arrived before our wedding. I didn’t have time to special order or find a cus- tom wedding dress so I ordered 10 different styles of dresses from J. Crew to try. I knew that I wanted something silk and timeless. I found just the one. “Our daughters/attendants, Freja and Maia, were also all dressed up, wearing tiered cotton and silk dresses, also from J. Crew. “Ward wore a beautiful cashmere sport coat and a designer (ermenegildo zegna) silk tie. Oh, and our shoes! He wore To Boot New York wing tips and I had Stuart Weizmann wedges,” Kathleen said. This party was dressed to party.” Catering FULL SERVICE You Deserve Simply the Best 33:MKMX\QWV3;XIKM U PS C A L E F U L L S ER V IC E S A L O N & S PA W ED D IN G P ACK AG ES • M a ssa ge --Co u p le s, H o t S to ne , Re la xa tio n • Ta nning Be d a nd S p ra y Ta n • H a ir--M a ke -u p --N a ils • S p a & Brid a l Pa rty Pa cka ge s (sm a ll & la rge gro u p s) • Fa cia ls, W a xing & Bo d yw ra p s • L a ze r L ip o • IPL L a ze r H a ir Re m o va l • Pho to Fa cia ls NOW OFFERING OFFICIANT SERVICES FOR YOUR BEACH / COASTAL W EDDING Honeym oons By 433 13th St., Astoria 503-325-1531 The wedding took place on a beautiful autumn afternoon in the Stephanie Inn’s Library. “Officiated by Barbara Beach, we exchanged our wedding vows and rings. Barbara was just what we wanted,” Kathleen said. Upstairs in the Simis/Tuttle suite, hors d’oeuvres and Ore- gon wines were waiting for the newlyweds and their guests. A gluten-free cheesecake, per the couple’s request, topped with white chocolate was served, as toasts were offered to continu- ing happiness. “Later that night, Ward and I enjoyed dinner in the Inn’s restaurant, just the two of us. It was one of the best meals we’ve had,” said the bride. And their first as husband and wife. Ten years in the making, the Simis-Tuttle love story proved to be well worth the wait.
