As the sunsplashed days of summer gives way to September I have had the pleasure to work at some beautiful venues. Captain Linnell House in Orleans is the perfect secret garden setting for the poem Country of Marriage by Wendell Berry. The boathouse beach at Chequessett offers a seascape and rustic nautical atmosphere for Gift from the Sea by Ann Morrow Lindberg.
I have also discovered some lovely small places like The Meadow on the Cove in Orleans overlooking the Orleans Yacht Club where of theme of marriage as a safe harbor emerges. At that wedding we did a fisherman's knot tying ritual as part of a wedding ceremony. I wrote an original poem for the couple bringing in this nautical theme of making fast the ties that bind. My husband, David, who was in the Coast Guard, gave me some great wording about how the ropes must be of equal strength to make the knot hold under pressure.
As the pictures come in from the wonderful photographers with whom I have worked such as, Julia Cumes I will post pictures. Also, I want to give a shout out to DJ Scott Rosenthal of Cape Tunes with whom I worked at Popponnessett Inn another wonderful venue just last Friday. I loved the Love Shack recessional !
Below is a picture of Abigail and Cliff at Chequessett from last September -Happy Anniversary!
