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/
from An Ode to Jason and Lauren
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!
