West Seattle wedding announcement: Congrats, Samir and Breanna!

We’ve published obituaries since requests started coming in – but this is the first time we recall being asked about a WEDDING announcement; we’d be happy to publish those too! Congratulations to Samir Baillie and Breanna Duvall, celebrating their first full day as husband and wife. He says you might know him as the “espresso-scooter guy” – which explains why the couple also is congratulated on an A-board we just saw outside Red Cup Espresso in The Junction. They got married yesterday at Hamilton Viewpoint Park in Admiral, and had their reception at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center; Samir says they are both West Seattleites, so: “Our idea was to have all of the money spent on the wedding to be put back into the West Seattle community.” (Their officiant was local too, Samir says – Michael Supino, owner of Red Star Pizza.) Wishing you many happy decades together!

Yay! How crazy to open WSB and be greeted with this announcement. Congratulations again to S and B; the wedding was beautiful, fun, and unique, just like they are.
And if you see this, Josh just said, “That’s why the officiant looked familiar!” ;-)

LOVE it! Congratulations to the happy couple; may you enjoy many wonderful years together!

On another note – and I don’t mean to go all maudlin on you or anything – but every time I start to consider that I might need to move to another Seattle neighborhood, WSBlog reminds me of the great community we have here, and it’s thanks in large part to you, Tracy & Patrick! Thanks for all you do!

AND thank you WS Blog for all you do for the community.

Positive and happy news is always welcome! Way to keep it local, too. Congrats and best wishes to the bride and groom!

A wonderful, wonderful addition to the WSB. Congrats to the couple and great work TR! Truly puts community in 24/7 community news and information source now.

Well, I didn’t do anything – just granted a request. Which is how the site has evolved over the years. Like obituaries, wedding announcements may come in only now and then – we’re not going to actively beg for them, but if word gets around, awesome – TR

Not from Seattle, but I’ve known & loved Samir for over 20 years… congrats, guys. Blessings.

Congrats Samir, I didn’t even notice it on the board outside either. Hope you have a fantastic life together.

I don’t know them, but that is a beautiful photograph. My best to them both. And this is probably as good a time as any to say how much I just love this blog. It makes me feel connected to this place I already love so much. Thank you.
