Chequesssett : Land of Whispering Waters

Just returned from officiating at Jeff and Ali 's wedding at the boathouse at Chequessett Yacht and Country Club in Wellfleet.  For a Cape Cod Wedding officiant this is a dream setting to celebrate a quintessential seaside wedding. Working with Reven Oliver, the manager at Chequessett  is so easy and the boathouse itself is an authentic Cape Cod treasure. Coming down the cut stone steps on to the beach makes for a stunning processional and recessional.

The calm before the storm provided a perfect late summer evening with a whispering wind coming off the water. The bride and groom, Ali and Jeff, were sincerely interested in what I had to say during the ceremony; they hadn't wanted to see a draft of the wedding ceremony so, as they said , 'We will be hearing it for the first time."

Their love was contagious and we were all so happy that Irene didn't  crash the party.

Allison and Jeffrey made sure their favorite line from Braveheart was a part of the wedding ceremony.

They exchanged rings saying, "Love you, always have, always will" and I adapted a poem with that line at the end.

"In the chaos and in the pre-storm still

I love you, always have, always will."
