    September: the new June for Weddings on Cape Cod

     For this Cape Cod Wedding Officiant/ Celebrant/ Minister, September has been a very busy month. Such a spectacular time to wed on Cape Cod. Gone is the traffic but the lovely weather remains.

    On September 7th I had two weddings, nicely spread apart in time and close by. This is the only way I  book more than one ceremony in a day. I learned this the hard way, as a rookie celebrant, when I was late, caught in Cape Cod traffic- never again.

    The first wedding of September was an intimate beach wedding at Ocean Edge Resort right down the street  in Brewster. I had never met Jason and Lauren before the wedding but we had great conversation by phone and I felt comfortable writing them a poem.

    Sometimes when I am running in the woods of Nickerson State Park I get inspired.  Imagry and or lines from what the couple has written about each other and their story spark a little poem or what I call, 'An Ode.'  I wish I could say it's the Irish bard in me but more likely, it's because I'm so full of malarkey!)

    Here is a snippet and some photos by Stacie Kirkwood. It was so nice to re-connect with Stacie. Here is her blog and more photos.http://www.staciekirkwoodblog.com/

    Like a schooner letting out her sails

     Love alone prevails. 

     So as this darling couple takes their nuptial pledge,

     Here beside the bay at Ocean’s Edge

     Let’s all give a hip, hip hooray

     Lauren and Jason

     Are married today!

    From Meredith- My favorite part of their day was listening to each of them recite their vows – they were beautiful, meaningful, and truly representative of Nina & Hong as a coupleCape Cod Weddings

     Marriage is an oasis, a haven, a safe harbor where we can learn about ourselves in the presence of another.

    They were really so poised and seemed to be enjoying their ceremony in the moment.

    Weddings at Wequassett- Photos from Nicole Chaput with words from her blog

    Last year I officiated at Jillian and Christopher's Wequassett Wedding Ceremony. The photographer  Cape Cod Wedding from Nicole Chaput Photography put together these photos. Chris and Jill took the natural elegance and generosity of spirit to a whole new level.  Instead of gifts they asked for donations to an orphanage in Pune, India giving the words in their ceremony real meaning.

    Some words about the vows:  In the presence of God, family and friends, may your loving relationship be sanctified in marriage. Through each other’s steady presence you will become better more compassionate individuals.

    From the Bride… Chris and I were married at Wequassett Resort on Cape Cod on July 7, 2012, on a humid but otherwise perfect day that was exactly three years, two months, and one day after our first date. We were so excited as our wedding day approached, for the usual reasons of course, but also because weddings play a big role in our lives together. Chris is a wedding photographer by trade, and we actually met when he was hired to photograph my cousin’s wedding (yes, I was a bridesmaid!). A friendship, and eventually love, blossomed as he photographed my sister’s and several additional cousins’ and family friends’ weddings in the years that followed. We both spent lots of time on Cape Cod as children and have wonderful memories of times we’ve spent together down Cape. Chris has worked at Wequassett too many times to count, and deeply respects his friend (and catering director) Kalson Pang’s talent when it comes to coordinating flawless events. Having our wedding on Wequasset’s Croquet Lawn overlooking Pleasant Bay was a dream come true, especially because of the beautiful, deeply-personal ceremony written and delivered by Rev. Kathleen Geagan, complete with an original comedic poem telling the story of our courtship.

     

     One Spirit Community of Sacred Practice

    A Daily Practice of Sacred Reading & Meditation

     

    At any time you can ask yourself: At which threshold am I now standing? At this time in my life, what am I leaving? What am I about to enter? What is preventing me from crossing my next threshold? What gift would enable me to do it? ... It is wise in your own life to be able to recognize and acknowledge the 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 your forward. The time has come to cross.

     

    - John O'Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us 

     

    I've been communicating with another 'totally engaged' couple about their vows and keep coming back to the idea that the marriage ritual is one of crossing over into a new state; something happens, sometimes so subtly we are unaware, or it is ushered in on joyful tears or a sudden fit of giggles or guffaws. Maybe just in a glance or a breeze or a secret smile or blush. It is not for me the officiant to know but with all key threshold experiences you can't force it, nor can you sidestep it or step on it. A time outside of time as you let go of one state and cross over to the next.

    As my 21 year old nephew so succinctly put it when he witnessed a marriage ceremony. "Twenty minutes ago they weren't married now they are. That is really something. "
