Real Wedding Kate and Dusty in Auburn, MA Celtic

Congratulations Kate and Dusy!

Kate and Dusty Brussard tied the knot at Chucks Steak House in Auburn on July 25th. It was quite a celebration with elements from Hawaii and Ireland!  Guests were greeted with live Lei's to adorn their tropical attire.  The bride and her family had spent some time living in Hawaii, so it was a nice touch to add to the festivities. 

The bride and groom had three canvas pieces in the color of the Irish flag, which guests signed. After completion of the signatures, the pieces fit together to create the irish flag for their home.  Guests also receive a green coozie with the Claddagh on it. The Claddagh symbolizes love, loyalty and friendship, which certainly are what makes for a great marriage.

Dusty and Kate placed their hands on an oathing stone as they cast their vows in stone. A magnificent time was had by all.  Slante  to my friends and many wishes for health, happiness, and prosperity.  

Such a wonderful celebration and I was  honored to officiate their wedding.  The venue and staff of Chucks Steak House did a fabulous job

Incorporating children into the wedding

Another fantastic wedding weekend!!!! I was thrilled to officiate the wedding of John and Kathleen along with their three boys! Often we think of a wedding as the union of two people, but in reality it is much broader. It is the coming together of families. The wedding took place at the beautiful White Cliffs in Northboro, Massachusetts, and John and Kathleen had many unique elements. Kathleen was escorted in by her sons, who carried roses with the wedding rings attached. John and Kathleen wrote the vows that they shared with each other and kept them secret from each other until the ceremony. It was such a romantic touch.

After the couple shared their vows they spoke a vow with Devan, Troy and John and gave them each a family medallion. The boys knew that they had a very special role in this wonderful day!

The family medallions symbolize the love that binds them all together forever. The boys were told that they are a gift and blessing that God gave to them. Their parents promised that today, tomorrow and forever, they will love them, care for them, and that they are together as a family for life.

A customized ceremony truly made the day special for John, Kathleen and their families. Congratulations and best wishes for a long, healthy, and happy life 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.

Massachusetts Wedding at Primavera!

Congratulations Krissy and David!!!!!!!!!!!! They tied the knot at the magnificent Primavera in Millis, Massachusetts.  The Primavera was the perfect setting with it's magnificent three story grande atrium, which is breathtaking!  The sweeping princess staircase and the Romeo & Juliet balconies are full of ornate wrought iron railings, along with Roman Columns and Italian granite floors  Krissy and David had their ceremony inside due to the rainy weather, but the warmth of their love and commitment was evident to all!  They shared their heartfelt vows and demonstrated the blending of their lives with a beautiful sand ceremony ritual. David and Krissy, I wish you all the best for a very long, healthy, and loving life!
