Engayged Love

One of the fun things about working as an Officiant is getting to meet all the other nice people out there in The Biz.  While I know the World of Weddings has a reputation for preying upon the hunger of the Affianced (particularly Brides) for the perfect wedding (and jacking up prices accordingly), most of [...]

Ticking Clock Follow-Up

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 [...]

Gorgeous Day

Erin and Sinan got married on one of those perfect Vermont fall days when the sky is as blue as a sky can be, the air is crisp and cool, and the trees are an utter riot of colors which, if used to decorate your kitchen, would be painfully garish, but out in nature does [...]

Utter Sweetness!

I got the sweetest thank-you note from Kristen and Justin, who got married in a lovely lakeside ceremony in upstate New York (yes, I do cross the border sometimes!). Thank you once again for making our ceremony perfect.  It was the most accurate description of Justin and me.  It brought out many different emotions from not only us but [...]

Mighty Mini Music Maven

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 [...]

Midnight At The Treehouse

  “We want to thank you again so much for everything Kathryn. Marriage is amazing and you helped us to make it all happen.” Dee and Shannon met on line in 2nd Life, and managed to translate their romance to the Real World (although it took Shannon 3 solid months of asking Dee out before [...]

Opposites Attract

  “Thank you for making our day so special. It was an absolutely perfect day.”    Photo by Lindsay Raymondjack Donna (on the left) and Lisa weren’t sure they were going to make it to Vermont for their wedding because Donna’s home town got wiped out by one of those legendary Southern tornados. But Donna [...]

DIY Bride

Emily and her fiance Jim came to get married in Vermont because they love to travel and see new places.  While they wanted a formal sort of wedding, they didn’t want a giant, fancy event, as they said they’d rather spend the money on traveling. So they booked a room at the Stone Hill Inn [...]
