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.

Pine Point Beach, Maine - Weddings At The Beach!

Both New England and Florida have magnificent coastlines to take advantage of when you think about a beach location for your wedding. The wedding of Deb and Roger took place in Maine at Pine Point Beach in Scarborough. When planning your beach wedding, I always jokingly suggest to couples that they look at the Farmers Alamanac to see the history of weather for that date they are interested in. Deb and Roger had the dream of getting married on Pine Point Beach, and even tho the sky was cloudy, their hearts were filled with joy!

Rev. Heather Boyd of LovingUnity.com officiated the custom wedding ceremony, as Deb and Roger were united together with their children. Recognizing the significance of the wedding ceremony and the joining of parents is one of the wonderful elements in any wedding. Blended sand is very popular, as well as the giving of gifts, and stating of vows to the children. It is a big day for them too!!!

If you had a beach wedding yourself, tell me about it! If you are looking for a beach location for your wedding, ask me! I'd love to hear all about your ideas about getting married on the beach.

Congratulations Deb and Roger!

Customized Wedding Ceremonies

Many times I meet with couples and let them know that I specialize in customized wedding ceremonies. They have no idea about the options that are available to them! I let them know that they are unique and that their ceremony should reflect their own unique style and wishes! I meet with a couple and get to know them, are they nature lovers? are they passionate about their animals? do they desire a beach wedding? a wedding beside a lighthouse? an intimate garden wedding? a large wedding? a destination wedding? an ethnic wedding? Many couples are simply unaware of all of the options available to them. I get such enjoyment out of meeting with them to discuss the options and begin from scratch to show to create a one of a kind wedding ceremony. That is perhaps what makes us different from other officiants who may have several samples for you to choose from. We take pride in our ability to spend the time with you to create exactly what you want for your special day.
