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 [...]

Blah Blah Vow Vow Vow
Thanks again for a beautiful ceremony. We have never been happier. Paula and DC have been together for 16 years, and were beyond excited to finally get married. They also have an extraordinary sense of humor and portions of their vows went as follows: Paula: I promise before I hastily question you, I will remember [...]
Love Art Lab
Performance artist and sex guru Annie Sprinkle has taken loving the planet to a whole new level with her series of Green Weddings. In each one, rambunctious, passionate participants marry a different aspect of the planet, such as redwood trees in California or the sea in Venice, Italy. Talk about taking love of the planet [...]
If…
Now in this photo, it might look like I have the pleasure of being sandwiched between two very hot guys. But actually, I’m sandwiched between one hot guy who just happens to be split into two people. Meet Mikey and Kian, who were considerate enough to come to Vermont to get married in my living [...]
Candle In The Wind
Tabby and Helena (pronounced Hel-EE-nah) (my third instinct after HEL-ena and Hel-LAY-nah) got married at the stunning Park McCollough House, a 35-room Victorian mansion in North Bennington, Vermont. A bit of a haul for me, but worth it, as it was an exquisitely beautiful fall day, and perfect for some cross-country leaf-peeping. When I arrived, the gals [...]
Vampires Are People Too!
Ok, coming out of the closet here. I love me a good campy vampire drama. But I also love social justice and marriage equality. So imagine my complete delight when in the final episode of True Blood, Season 2, Vampire Bill proposes to Psychic Sookie by first handing her two plane tickets to Burlington, Vermont! [...]
To Life!
Note to all you about-to-be-marrieds: You DO NOT have to do this at your reception in order to have a good time. No need to keep up with the Anatevkans here. But kudos to the whole team who pulled it off. FYI – if you ARE going to try and replicate this, there’s a hairball [...]
Terror Update!
For some goofy reason, I thought that once married, nobody would ever return to look at my website. Which meant I thought I was safe with that last post about forgetting David and Chris’s names. Turns out I was wrong. I just got this email from them: Hey Kathryn, Just read your treehouse terror piece [...]
Treehouse Terror!
David and Chris, having been together just five months, got themselves married in a treehouse today. We were going to do it down by the water at the famous and beloved Oakledge Park, but while the sun was out, the gale force winds blowing off the lake made the idea of a quiet little ceremony [...]
Oakledge Magic
Valeska and Addis flew up from Florida for a last minute Vermont Elopement. They told me that they’d known each other for years, but that suddenly, something “happened.” They both never expected to find themselves this happy, this in love. They told me they felt that God had brought them together, and made their lives [...]
