June Weddings on Cape Cod

  "Another bride, another June, another sunny honeymoon, another reason another season for making whoopey."

Most of you would not recgonize that song; it was old even when I was young but says it all, in a fairly gender biased way about love and marriage. But what the heck...June is all about bride and grooms and well, why not, it's about making whoopey.

Anna and Seva whoop it up beneath the Linden Tree at Ocean Edge Resort as I read an ode to their love story.

  I have had some wonderful couples this June. Late Spring and early Summer has been so gorgeous on Cape Cod. I've had several weddings at Ocean Edge which is right around the corner from me here in Brewster. You can't get a better place for a cocktail hour than the Ocean Terrace with sweeping views of Cape Cod Bay. I don't have photos from this year yet but let's see what I can pull up from years gone by.

"Marriage Joins Two People in the Circle of Its Love"

What a beautiful start to the 2015 season. May was a lovely month for weddings..only one rainy day wedding.

Here is a reading by Edmund O’Neill that Lila and Josh chose for the theme of a wedding ceremony at Ocean Edge Carriage House.

I really like the last few lines.

"Marriage Joins Two People in the Circle of Its Love", by Edmund O’Neill

“Marriage is a commitment to life, to the best that two people can find and bring out in each other. It offers opportunities for sharing and growth that no other human relationship can equal; a joining that is promised for a lifetime. Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of life’s most important relationships. A wife and a husband are each other’s best friend, confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic. There may come times when one partner is heartbroken or ailing, and the love of the other may resemble the tender caring of a parent for a child. Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life. Happiness is fuller; memories are fresher; commitment is stronger; even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly. Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences, and new ways of expressing love through the seasons of life. When two people pledge to love and care for each other in marriage, they create a spirit unique to themselves, which binds them closer than any spoken or written words. Marriage is a promise, a potential, made in the hearts of two people who love, which takes a lifetime to fulfill.”
