Autumn Weddings with rustic elegance and cozy charm

Sunday, September 23, 2012 at 1:07PM

This Cape Cod Wedding Officiant loves this time of year to preside over Autumn Nuptials. The colors in this sunset at Asha and Marissa's wedding embody the bronze and russetts of light's ebb; the song of September and October on Cape Cod.

Here is a link to an article written about Bethany and Scott's wedding on 11/11/11.

Yesterday, the first day of Autumn, Marie and Michael , wed at the Bosari Gallery. It was their moment and every detail was so beautifully attended to by not only Kathy, Bob and Tabitha at the Bosari Gallery but the groom's mother, Susan. From the rustic charm of the gallery itself to stunning beauty of the slender bride and the tears that came during the cermony ; a testimony to the couple's sincerity and dedication to one another- it was a spectacular day.

I don't have pictures yet for Marie and Michael but I did post a photo from last year in March when Karen and Peter wed at Bosari Gallery.

This is the second time I've done a wedding at Bosari and the clouds have parted and th sun has come shining through as the cermony was underway.

Here is a reading that really got to the heart of Marie and Michael's marriage matter.

And TODAY I MARRY MY FRIEND, by Bertrand Russell

"Today I marry my friend
The one I have laughed with and cried with,
The one I have learned from and shared with,
The one I have chosen to support, encourage and give myself to
Through all the days given us to share;
Today I marry the one I love.

The transformation a couple experiences while going through the planning crystalis of being wed never fails to amaze me. There are so many caterpillar like tasks to be undertaken before the butterfly emerges.

This was the garb I found Darren in when I arrived at Highfield Hall. Meanwhile Liz was off getting ready with her mother . Darren was a bit anxious but he was one of those really nice nervous grooms wanting everything to be perfect for his bride. Liz as shown in this photo is a calm almost serene person although she would probably deny that.

As Summer Sun gives way to September- South Cape Beach to Chequessett

Monday, September 10, 2012 at 9:04AM

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!
