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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
