Here comes the bride....................

Here comes the bride, Emily, on her father's arm. An indoor ceremony at 28 Atlantic -Wequassett Resort on Round Cove, was the perfect setting for this quintessential, naturally elegant Cape Cod Ceremony.

Emily Ann Ford and James Michael Gallagher wed at Wequassett on a miraculously warm spring afternoon on the crescent on the water. They met working at the Woodshed and that summer job led to their being wed. Enough said for now!

October Bliss- Erika and Andrew Wed at Wequessett

 Erika and Andrew Wed on the Crescent on the Water - Wequassett

 A Classic Cape Cod Love Story

Andrew grew up on Pleasant Bay sailing the crescent of Round Cove with his brother. He met Erika, his maiden fair, at the fine Chatham establishment, 'The Squire.' She was in the midst of adding to her stemware collection when he came upon her. A delightful courtship ensued.

It was perfect for them to wed at Wequessett on the very waters where this young squire spent his youth.

 And Erika was a stunningly sweet bride; she really did look like an Autumn Harvest Princess (although the flower girl was certainly a contender for some sort of precious pumkiny prize.)

The energy was exhuberant and the happiness contagious, as Andrew and Erika said, I do and stepped over the threshold and into the Country of Marriage.

The cheers filled the air as the decree went forth,

"Now it is my great honor to pronounce

            you husband and wife!"

Setting in motion many long happy days with

noteworthy achievements and a tender flow-

Like Chris said, “When you know, you know.”

And so we gather here today at the crescent on the bay

To say, “Hooray, Chris and Jill are married today!”

   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. http://www.nicolechaputphotography.com/

Sweet Tidings

  

Sweet Tidings as the 2012 Wedding Season sails off into the Sunset. It has been a year of imperishable sweetness  for me and such a pleasure to preside over so many wonderful wedding ceremonies on Cape Cod.

This week this Cape Cod Wedding Officiant is sorting through the ceremonies of 2012 and making way for more Sweet Tidings to come in 2013.

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

In making way for the new I reviewed all the lovely notes that I have received over this year and felt full of Sweet Tidings, as Erika and Andrew put it on their holiday greeting card.  They wed at Wequassett on Round Cove, a Safe Harbor on Pleasant Bay where Andrew grew up sailing and fishing.

From Wychmere to Wequassett from Chatham Bars to Chequessett-  A marriage let's bless it!
