Another Bride, another June, another Sunny ? Honeymoon.....

Another season another reason for making whoopee

The photo above  is from last year. This beautiful couple, Allyson and Matthew, were wed at the Hedgebound estate in Truro. They had wanted the ceremony  to be outside on the sweeping lawn but rain pulled them inside to a lovely porch with a view down to the garden hollow.

On  Saturday on Hyannis Harbor during what amounted to a squall, Dean and Leah exchanged vows. We found shelter at this tiny grey dwelling and huddled together. Dean's words which he read to his bride were of the most sincere I have ever witnessed . Tears of tenderness mixed with the rain.

Wendell Berry would have approved. I still have the place card from my brother, Brian and his wife, Theresa's 1984 wedding that held the words below.

From "In Rain"

marriages to marriages

are joined , husband and wife

are plighted to all

husbands and wives

any life has all lives

for its delight.

Let the rain come,

the sun, and then the dark

for I will rest

in an easy bed tonight.
