Samuel Wilde Memorial Chapel Wedding of Nicole and Rob

Nicole and Rob chose the historic Samuel Wilde Memorial Chapel in Portland as the location to tie the knot! The setting was beautiful! The weather had been foggy and raining but at the time of the ceremony the sun shone brightly on the happy couple! After the ceremony, the couple and their guests celebrated at the Eastland Hotel in Portland. Music was provided by Michael Mahoney of M&M Entertainment and the dance floor was bustling all evening! The staff at the Eastland Hotel provided outstanding service! I was very impressed with the way that they welcomed the newlyweds with he opening of the champagne bottle corks all at the same time for the toast!. In Addition to a wonderful meal, the staff entertained with a flaming desert. Congratulations Nicole and Rob, may yuo have many years of happiness together!

A 25th Wedding Anniversary Renwal of Vows

Paul and Carol and their families stood in exactly the same spot, and the very location where they began their lives together as husband and wife 25 years ago!  The Martha Mary Charpel at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury was he fantastic and romantic location for them to renew and share again their word of commitment and love for the rest of their lives. I was so honored to work with them to create a beautiful ceremony that included the wedding bowl ritual representing their lives and the twists and turns and the commitment that it takes to continue to keep the fire of love burning bright.  Congratulations Carol and Paul!  Best wishes for much continued happiness.

Keep the spark of love alive! Renewal of Vows

"Marriage and the union it symbolizes can be the most sublime of human experiences; for in any final accounting, love is what life is all about."

As you know I just love officiating weddings and commitment ceremonies but I have to say, when couples make the decision to renew their vows and reaffirm their commitment, it stirs something heart warming deep within me.  Couples are choosing again, to recommit, reinvigorate, and give new life to their marriage vows.

Danielle and Lucas chose to renew their vows in Maine, near the Anchorage Hotel, across from the beach in York.  Although the day was a bit foggy, their smiles and the gleam in their eyes, truly showed their love for one another and the pleasure they took in renewing the vows they had made seven years ago!  Together they have raised a beautiful daughter, and have spent the time to make their relationship a priority in their lives.  Congratulations Danielle and Lucas, I was so very honored to officiate your renewal and be there with you on that very special day.  Best wishes for many, many, years together!!!
