Happy New Year - Hello 2015

Thanks to all the couples who said I do this year and to all those who took the time to vote for me as the Cape and Islands A-list best wedding officiant. I hope I can continure to live up to this lovely honor.

We are having our first real snow right now on Cape Cod. So peaceful and romantic ( even if my hubbie is napping in front of the NFL play-off games!) I'm heading out into the evening to catch snowflakes on my tongue!

Happy 2015 all and remember Love alone prevails and will reign supreme in 2015!

Warmly

Kathleen

Wellfleet Weddings on Cape Cod

We gather here at Chequessett: a marriage, let's bless it! On Saturday another fabulous family fusion wedding took place at CYCC-Chequessett Yacht and Country Club. This setting on Wellfleet Harbor is perfect for your naturally elegant, quintessential Cape Cod Wedding Ceremony and the couples who embrace this. Here we see The Wards happily having just said,"I do. I do." beneath this Huppah/wedding arch at their fusion wedding ceremony last year. Can't wait to see some photos of Saturday's delightful nuptials which included the Seven Blessings and a Unity Candle as well as a wine ceremony and beautiful blessings from all the family!

Fidelity to Love- Hafiz

Your fidelity to love, that is all you need,

No day will then match your strength.

What was once a fear or problem will see

You coming, and step aside….or run.

This fidelity to love means you now walk through life with your  true love beside you. One with whom you can laugh and cry, grow old and feel forever young. We bless you on your way-

Key Thresholds “It is wise in your own life to be able to recognize and acknowledge key thresholds: to take your time; to feel all the varieties of presence that accrue there; to listen inward with complete attention until you hear the inner voice calling you forward. The time has come to cross.”    John O’Donohue from 'To Bless the Space between Us'

Diane and Steve wed at the Belfry Inne and Abbey

 This Cape Cod Wedding Celebrant had the pleasure of presiding over a wedding at the Belfry Inne in Sandwich last Saturday

 A perfect place for this nature-loving duo, Diane and Steve, had faith that the day would clear, the clouds part and the October sun would shine softly on their faces.       

 And so it was.  October is their favorite month and the autumn garden reflects their love story.

 Diane is such a grace-filled and graceful lady in every sense of the word.  Steve is a wicked charming Irishman; his quips and side comments during the ceremony were so obviously intended to relax his beautiful emotional bride.

  This couple was so poem worthy theirs was a triple poetry infused ceremony.

  The Country of Marriage by Wendell Berry

 ….our life reminds me

 Of a forest in which there is a graceful clearing

 And in that opening a house

 An orchard and garden

 Comfortable shades and flowers ........ 

  

Ode to Diane and Steve

 There was a spark at that first meeting at the Chatham Town Hall

 Undaunted Diane spoke way up, for Steve was oh so tall 

 Diane thought … now here’s a man with a plan

 Interesting, comfortable   Yes, he could be a friend

 they set off on adventures like kayaking the Charles

 Not knowing what lay beyond the river’s bend. 

   

  In the Autumn Garden  

No not in the spring garden with its long-awaited rush of new life, 

 nor in the cacophony of summer’s hectic humming boom

 but here in the Autumn garden,

 with pumpkin- colored nasturtiums

 wending their way towards the light,

 Sedum and mums in bloom, yes

 yes, this feels right.

 in this place of quiet brilliance

 muted whisperings of winter on its way

 there is time, but none to waste,

  so give your love full sway.
