wedding help (Portland: property, snow, pictures)

[surfkilauea]

My fiance and I are thinking of having our wedding in Portland. We are not locals, my fiance being from Seattle and I am from Hawaii, so we are in need of some help.
Could anyone please tell us where we might find a grove of cherry blossom trees? We want to have the ceremony under the cherry blossoms and have our reception near Portland. We are looking for a park or some property that would allow us to have a ceremony.

Thank you for your help!

I'm not sure of if you can or not, but the waterfront promenade/park in downtown Portland is lined with cherry trees that "snow" pink blossoms in the late spring. I would think you'd need to check with Portland City parks bureau to find out if you can actually wed there. I know lots of people will go there before or after the ceremony for pictures. The Portland Spirit (rentable party boat) is moored along the prominade here and is a good choice for hosting the ceremony and reception, plus you can cruise along the cherry trees.
