This Cape Cod Wedding Celebrant/officiant /interfaith Minister and her hubby have just returned from a trip to the South Seas on South Beach, Miami. Soon Cape Cod will slowly begin its transformation and one day it will suddenly be summer!
We are on Cape Time and it is a time outside of time and spring takes its own sweet time like these sprouting succulents.
These succulent sproutlings were the perfect symbol of a Cape Cod Spring Wedding. Emily and Jim were wed last March at Wequassett
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EMILY and JIM -May your love remain new throughout all seasons!
Monday, March 17, 2014 at 5:02PM I first heard this Ancient Irish Blessing at Kate and Alex's Wedding at Chatham Bars Inn. It is so beautiful to pair it with the Crowning Ceremony from the Greek and Eastern Orthodox traditions.
Soulful Wedding Ceremonies
Ancient Irish Wedding Blessing
You are the star of each night,
You are the brightness of every morning,
You are the story of each guest,
You are the report of every land.
No evil shall befall you, on hill nor bank,
In field or valley, on mountain or in glen.
Neither above, nor below, neither in sea,
Nor on shore, in skies above,
Nor in the depths.
You are the kernel of my heart,
You are the face of my sun,
You are the harp of my music,
You are the crown of my company.

knowing
crocuses clammed up barely showing
Snow Drops drooping
yikes
it's really, really snowing!
waiting, waiting, germinating
soft spring imaginings
pink petals floating
yearning for a different sort of
purity.
Meanwhile- smile
Light a dhuni fire
check your miles
let it be, let it be
no more of this, "We'll see."
Yipee!
Just booked a flight
to Miami.
Monday, March 3, 2014 at 11:00AM ceremonies close to home on Cape Cod and some far afield. This month I presided over my first wedding in Rhode Island at the Providence Public Library. In this wedding we included the Common Cup and the Stefana Crowning since the groom was from a Greek family. The aunt of the groom did the Common Cup and presented the couple with Rosemary plant. The father of the groom crowned the couple. The bride's 9 year old nephew did a reading and one of the bridesmaid sang Songbird. The setting was elegant with lots of archways and marble staircases.
The bride and groom so beautiful and handsome and heartfelt!
Now closer to home starting at the Chatham Bars Inn Boathouse. From intimate elopement to more expansive affairs here are some pics! Elopement photos of Erika and Adam and Kerry and Ed
Sonnet 116” by William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
"we join ourselves to the unknown….You do not know the road; you have committed your life to a way."
and that way is with each other
...protect this couple from the storms and challenges of life as they become husband and wife!
