Wedding show brings shower of vows for future PT weddings

By Allison Arthur

It all started with a surprise renewal of wedding vows.

And it ended happily for businesses interested in promises of engaging Port Townsend for a future wedding date.

Between Friday and Sunday, the 2008 Port Townsend Wedding Show showcased wedding cakes and bouquets, champagne and beautiful hotel rooms, good food and wedding dresses in every size and style.

Susan Grant, show organizer, decided to start it off Oct. 10 by surprising her sweetheart, John Pizzo, by renewing their vows on their 15th anniversary during a VIP get-together above the Silverwater Café.

In turn, Pizzo surprised Grant with a wedding cake and gardenias, her favorite flower.

The couple renewed their vows in front of champagne-sipping friends while a few special brides looked over hundreds of gowns from Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation at the early VIP event.

Then the two and many others from the Port Townsend Wedding Guild, which Grant helped found, spent the rest of the weekend helping other couples plan their memories.Continued...
