Cooking classes with Lisa Dupar Catering Having common interests and hobbies you share with your partner is a serious bonus for keeping the love alive, but sometimes, when opposites attract, you may need a little help getting started. Begin a creative tradition for your new family by attending one of the fun (and delicious) cooking classes together at the Lisa Dupar Catering kitchen, and learn to love cooking together. These monthly two and a half hour classes are built around fun themes and take place in the enormously impressive catering kitchen within the Pomegranate Bistro in Redmond. March brings a wine night all about the “Killer B’s”: Barbera, Barbaresco, Barolo & Brachetto, and a cooking night to prepare an elegant Easter supper. Throughout the spring they have classes on tap for cooking “all things French”, mixing classic American cocktails, and celebrating Cinco de Mayo, always the year’s biggest hit. 
Junebug member John Hong of John and Joseph Photography recently proposed to his love Jane, and we just couldn’t be happier for them! John and Jane are both busy wedding photographers who are constantly surrounded by romance, so John knew that he would have to come up with a really special proposal to knock Jane off her feet. First he pulled off the ultimate surprise, a well-planned birthday trip to Maui. Then, right before taking Jane out for her birthday dinner he laid out his real plan. Draping a gorgeous new dress across the bed while Jane wasn’t looking, he ducked out of their room and sent her a text message to get dressed and meet him on the romantic Swan Bridge of their hotel. When he got down on one knee and asked Jane to marry him, her eyes were so filled with tears she couldn’t even see the ring. Jane said she would have said yes no matter what the ring looked like, but we think it is no surprise that it was just the one she wanted.

 How can we make our ceremony personal and unique?One great way is to add cultural touches. Add a tea ceremony, an ethnic dance, a reading done in the language of your ancestors, or a set of songs that have been influential in your life. Cultural influences add a personal touch to your ceremony and reception, and they can be a special treat for your parents and grandparents.
