“There has been a lot of excitement over the passing of R-74 and we’re happy to be a part of a unique event that is a first in Washington State and a first for our hotel,” says Kirk Sugamele, director of catering and conference services at Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. “We can’t wait to welcome these couples and their family and friends to this celebration.”
“Personally and professionally, I’m thrilled that R-74 passed and equality for love is recognized by the state,” says Katy Griffiths owner of VOWS, a full-service planning, design and coordination company based in downtown Kirkland, Washington. “Our goal is to make each and every couple feel special and taken care of on their wedding day. Coming to Four Seasons and being treated like a VIP by professional and talented vendors will be personal, romantic and fun. I’ve wanted this experience to be accessible to all couples for a long time. It’s a great feeling.”
Sunday, December 9, 2012 is the first day, after the 3-day waiting period, gay and lesbian couples can marry legally in Washington State. Each “Little White Chapel” participant must register for their marriage license in time for their wedding day, either December 6 for a December 9 wedding or December 7 for a December 10 wedding day.
