Real Wedding Katie and Eric at the Sturbridge Host Hotel in Massachusetts
Fall weddings are exceptionally beautiful, using the colors and foliage that are natural to New England.
When Katie and Eric selected the location for their wedding, the Sturbridge Host Hotel, in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, they had planned for an outside wedding. Mother nature had other plans.
The wedding was moved inside and was spectacular! The gazebo was decorated with fall foliage, which enhanced the beauty of the white arch and chairs.
Eric and Katie shared their own personal words for their vows, and there was not a dry eye in the area!
'''
After exchanging rings, they placed love letters and a bottle of wine in a box and secured it. They plan to renew and recommit ever 5 years and place new love letters in the box for the future.
Congratulations Katie and Eric, may you have a long, healthy and prosperous life together!

Real Wedding Harry and Wendy at Wings Neck Lighthouse at Cape Cod Massachusetts
Spectacular! Amazing! Beautiful! Incredible! These are all words that describe the wedding of Harry and Wendy at the Wings Neck Lighthouse at Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

The couple spent years seeking out the perfect location for their wedding ceremony, and travels took them from Florida to various areas of New England, but when they learned of Wings Neck Lighthouse, they fell in love!
They chose the location because of their love of the ocean, lighthouses, and the intimacy that the location would bring. It was an added bonus that they would also be able to spend their honeymoon there in the attached quarters.
Their wedding brought together friends and family from all over the country, who had the chance to see a real New England Lighthouse up close and personal.
Harry and Wendy got engaged at Nubble Lighthouse in Maine, so it seemed fitting for the theme to continue. The weather for their ceremony was outstanding. The sun was shining, and breeze was cooling, and all the elements were in their favor. In keeping with the ocean and lighthouse theme, the groom and his gents wore starfish boutonniere's.
The bride's flowers were also decorated with starfish.
She wore a full length lace gown with lace coat with a long train which was also embellished with a starfish broach.

Their vows washed up in a glass bottle and they shared together the words they have waited for so long to speak.
The couple had a mixture of both Native American and Irish traditions from both of their cultures. The Irish blessing stones were selected by guests who wrote a message of good wishes on them for the couple to keep. The Apache Wedding prayer was the closing blessing.

After the wedding ceremony, guests were given a shiny penny to toss into the ocean to bring good wishes for the couple.
The couple were toasted, and then the guests were brought to the reception for the rest of the evening festivities.

Wendy and Harry!

Real Wedding Falmouth Country Club, Maine
Brie and Matt Steinback tied the knot literally at the Falmouth Country Club in Maine! Since they are both interested in sailing and ocean activities, the themes of their colors, favors, guest oar, and tying a knot, all made for a wedding and ceremony that was truly unique and special. Each guest received a miniature water color painting of a lighthouse, or buoy in a magnetic frame, table assignments were placed on a vintage map of Portland, Maine, and table numbers were knots.The colors worn by the bridesmaids were navy and the men were looking sharp in their dark suits. The venue was held outside on the golf course, and the rows were designated by buoys in keeping with the theme. The parents were invited to bring up the nautical rope, for the couple to make a ceremonial knot to secure their marriage. After the ceremony, guests were invited to sign an oar that Brie and Mat will keep in their home as a symbol of love. It was a privilege and honor for me to create with this fantastic couple!
