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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Strangers In A Friendly Land

This past Thursday, I was on my way up to the beautiful and historic Bread Loaf Writer’s Colony to spent the weekend teaching at the New England Young Writer’s Conference, when I got a message from Kimberly.  She and her girlfriend Kira were up from Mississippi, vacationing in Essex, and really wanting to get married [...]

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 [...]

Claiming The Victory

Bishop John Shelby Spong recently published a manifesto stating his unwillingness to further debate the issue of homosexuality in the church. His feeling is that, like slavery or round-versus-flat earth, there aren’t two equal-but-opposing sides to the situation.  There’s only  justice, or the lack thereof.  And he’s not willing to waste his time debating with [...]

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 [...]
