I just got an update on Ellie and Ben! Turns out they left for the hospital 30 minutes after the ceremony, and 11 hours later, welcomed Miss Aspen Rebecca Hayes into the world. She is, I’m told, “Cute as a button.” But don’t take my word for it. See for yourself: Welcome Aspen! So glad you [...]

Ticking Clock!
I’ll add the photo from the actual wedding when Ellie’s sister sends it along. But this was just so funny I wanted to write about it right away. So, yesterday afternoon, I went over to the little hamlet of St. George, VT to perform a kitchen wedding for Ellie and Ben. They’d met while working [...]

Generally I tend to focus on the part of a wedding where I’m doing a lot of the talking and the couple is busy getting wed to each other. But sometimes, other bits of enchantment catch my attention, and this photo is a beautiful illustration of just such a moment. We were at Mills Riverside [...]
Until Bananas Turn To Ink
Guy and Deanna came all the way from St. Louis to get married at a rented farmhouse in beautiful Craftsbury, Vermont. They had about 10 friends and family there with them, and we did the ceremony out underneath a couple of old apple trees called “The Married Couple” by the owners of the farmhouse. At the [...]
Rock Star Princess
I hadn’t met Tamsn and Renny in person before the wedding, but once I got to the ceremony site at beautiful Button Bay State Park, and found Renny setting up the ceremony site himself, I immediately liked him. Tamsn I met when she came down the isle – by herself – looking like she’d just [...]
What Lies Beneath
We just wanted to say a huge thank you! The wedding was beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for more. We got many compliments about you from friends and family. We feel so lucky to have found you and know you were the perfect match for us. Our day was perfect beginning to end, [...]
Adventures in Literalism
I got a call this morning from Jackie, who’s the business manager for my chiropractor. She said her best friend Debbie was ready to get married and wanted to do it now. Today. Immediately. I said that I was going to be home until 4:30, and that if Debbie could get herself and her guy [...]
Cappuccino, Cornflakes…and a Ceremony!
Chris decided he wanted to surprise Anders over their spring break – by getting married! They’ve been together 10 years, and a ceremony was definitely on their to-do list, but it kept getting shuffled to the bottom of the pile behind things like, say: Graduate from medical school. So Chris and I hatched a plan [...]
Sorry to Wed and Run…
I was at rehearsal the other day for my latest gig, Sylvia, in which I play a dog. But that’s beside the point. On a break around 5pm, I checked my email, and had a message from a woman named Maia, saying that she and her girlfriend Michelle were on their way up to Vermont [...]
Secret Haiku Wedding!
Jenny and Joshua Doe (names changed to protect them from their parents) came to me needing to get married Right Now. They already have a big wedding planned somewhere warm and tropical, but the financial pressures of their lives demanded Immediate Marital Legitimacy For Insurance Purposes. I could have signed the license without saying anything. But [...]
