To Have And To Hold: Businesses Prep For Summer Wedding Season

 

TWIN FALLS • Vampire romance, country chic or a Hawaiian beach.

While Pinterest and other social media have driven the rustic and shabby-chic themes for the area’s top wedding trends, business owners say, couples are finding ways to make their big day truly their own.

“They’re choosing things that reflect their own personalities,” said Tacie Wright, owner and photographer at T Wright Photography.

Bride-to-be Jayleen Ichokowan is originally from Hawaii and wanted to incorporate her origins into her rustic theme. She plans an evening wedding at the Risk Barn in Jerome, with beach and country related décor, much of which is rented.

“That way, you don’t have to deal with it later,” Ichokowan said.

"There are some on this earth of yours ... who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name, who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us." Mortal! We spirits of Christmas do not live only one day of our year. We live the whole 365. So is it true of the child born in Bethlehem. He does not live in men's hearts only one day of the year, but in all the days of the year. You have chosen not to seek him in your heart... Therefore, you shall come with me and seek him in the hearts of men of good will. Come. Touch my robe " - Charles Dickens, The Christmas Carol & Scrooge (1951) It happened at the nativity, and it will happen again, ALL will bow and have that same child-like faith...child-like faith.
