69 Wonderful fun filled years ....

Posted by The Summerlin House At Thornton Park


Today is my husbands Grandparents 69th Wedding Anniversary!

Eugene & Isabell Peterson
If you had the extra ordinary honor of meeting this wonderful couple they would probably make you blush. :)

They still kiss all over each other like a Newlywed couple! It's pretty stinkin cute !!! The picture below was in the middle of Bob Evans at Breakfast !!LOL!




I would love to interview them for this Blog but they are off cruising the Caribbean no doubt winning the Newlywed game on the ship as they do
EVERY SINGLE TIME.

They always put the audience in stitches with their answer to this question: When was the last time you made whoopie? and they both answer " in the shower right before we came here tonight!" now if you have ever been on a cruise we all know how small those showers are LOL!!

Not sure if they really mean what they say.....but inevitably they always win with that answer !

They are adorable and I can only hope to be that in love after 69 years of marriage with my hubby :)

Here are a few pictures of them along with a picture they gave me of their receipt for the Reception Hall rental from their wedding January 31st 1942



This picture below Eugene is modeling his bow tie from their wedding and Isabell is wearing her original wedding handkerchief on her head ( love her !)


Here is the receipt from the Reception Hall ...eeek ! ONLY 15 DOLLARS!!!
Ummmmmmmm...... slightly less than what we charge at The Summerlin House!

It was a whooping $15 dollars !!! They placed a $5 Deposit down on the hall and provided their own beer, "Pop" and Orchestra.



Here's their snuggies we got them for Christmas they are embroidered and say "69 years of snuggling" ...again...how stinking cute are they ???? :)


Congratulations Eugene & Isabell !!!

"Lovestats" cards guarantee to keep your significant other out of the doghouse!

MyLovestats cards are full color laminated cards that have your photo on the front and your love stats on the back. These love stats are provided by you from our on line form, they are specific dates and information that your sweetheart can have on hand at a moments notice. The cards are credit card size for easy fit for any wallet.

Here’s how it works:

You upload the photo of you that you want them to carry in their wallets and we scan that into our program and professionally color print on front of card.

On the back of the card is all the information that you need your sweetheart to know about you. Reminder of anniversary date, date that you met, your favorite color, your favorite flower…ETC… and on the opposite end of that spectrum it can even include things that you would NEVER EVER wish for them to buy for you. What a great way to make sure you always get what you really want!!

It’s not only your picture in their wallet but also an information guide for them when they need it the most.

Forget those boring Guest Books!

Posted by The Summerlin House At Thornton Park
At The Summerlin House We're all about being Distinctive....
Forget Boring Guest Books!
Be Distinctive with one of these 5 Creative Ideas
from The Knot!


Typewriter Guest Book
Give your guest book a vintage twist by setting out a few antique typewriters for wedding guests to tap out a message. Later, you can bind the pages together to create a book of sweet notes from your family and friends.





Children's Book Guest Book
Here's your chance to make up for all those years your mom wouldn't let you write in your books. Pick a favorite picture book from your childhood (or one that represents your relationship) and have guests sign a page.



Vintage Postcard Guest Book
Collect enough pretty vintage postcards (look online at sites like OldPostcards.com or on eBay) for each guest to write you a message, then set out pens and a “mailbox” for them to leave the cards in



Vinyl Record Guest Book
Embrace your love of music with an authentic vinyl record (available at most thrift stores) wedding guest book. Set out permanent markers in metallic colors for guests to sign with.


Mad Libs Guest Book
For another childhood throw-back, let your wedding guests fill in the blanks with a Mad Libs-inspired guest book. Create your own at WordLibs.com/create

While it is not standard to book a wedding venue before the official Engagement, some couples are happy to do just that if they find a venue they fall in love with & know they would like nothing more than to get married there.

Most couples discuss getting married well ahead of the engagement and the Bride to be knows that it will happen but she doesn’t know when her groom will pop the question.

The Summerlin House was fortunate enough to have experienced both of the above situations over the New Years weekend.

We offered our amazing “Pay it forward” New Years Special This past Friday morning. This special was ONLY for the 1st 50 brides to show up at 7 am. It was a $10,000 wedding package for $2500!!!

The first bride to show up at the wee hours of the early morning was Ashley,

she was a bride who had toured the venue and she and her boyfriend fell in love with The Summerlin House however, she was in fact a bride who was not officially engaged yet.

Her boyfriend Michael lives and works in Jacksonville and was unable to be there with her the morning of the New Years Special. Ashley told me that Michael would be traveling into Orlando for the weekend and asked if they could they come by over the weekend to walk the venue together at night…I said of course ( neither she nor I knew at that moment that her walk through on Saturday night would be a night she would remember forever. )

Michael called me later on Friday afternoon and this is when I found out he was as amazing as our special !! He told me that he would be coming in for New years Eve and would be in Orlando for the weekend and was popping the questions and giving her a gorgeous ring on Saturday New Years Day. He asked if he could do this at the venue.
I of course said absolutely… with his romantic ideas of what he would like to do for her we started to plan the proposal. I met Michael at the venue Saturday evening and he brought roses and a bottle of their favorite red wine. And of course that GORGOEUS RING!!! I hung pretty paper lanterns all over the back porch, set up a small bistro table and chairs and set up the wine with crystal glasses and the flowers for him. He had all the music on his ipod system which we set up in the corner for added romantic ambiance.
( P.S.~ Micheal knows a lot about music since he is the lead vocals in the rock band Fall of Envy which I will chat about later in the blog)

Late Saturday evening Michael brought Ashley to the venue where I had left the market lights on for them. He walked her through the courtyards and to the back porch which was all romantically set up where he popped the question! She had absolutely no idea and it was an amazing night for an amazing couple which I am looking forward to helping plan the Wedding Day of their dreams!
