Antique Cars and Weddings? Of course!!

If you just love antique cars and weddings, then this is the mix for you!!!

Jennifer and Richard had selected the Crown Plaza for their wedding and just before the wedding, the location closed!! Without missing a beat, they and their wedding planner, Patricia White Davis, located the Four Points Sheraton in Leominster, Massachusetts. The hotel could not have been more accomodating. Kathy, the Banquet Manager, and Joanne the Wedding Hostess, did an incredible job with such short notice and made Jen and Rich so happy and relieved. It could not have been more beautiful! Jenn was so beautiful and Richard was smashing, and the smiles were beaming as they shared their vows. Rev. David Bishop of LovingUnity.com officiated the wedding. They had chosen a religious ceremonny and the bride entered after the reading of Genesis, Chapter 2. In addition to the wedding and reception, the highlight was having their photos taken next to an antique custom automobile. They had planned to ride off into the sunset but the downpour of rain prevented that, but you will see from the pictuers, it was a fabulous car. Enjoy! Congratulations Jen and Rich!

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!!!

Makeup and Hair Professionals for your wedding day..

We all want to look our best, but the most important day of our life would be our wedding day! With all the stress and running around that each bride and her attendants have to prepare for the big event, it is wonderful when they can be pampered and taken care of in their own location. This location can be the hotel or their homes or even if they wanted to have a girls Spa Day. Let the professional come to you!!!

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to not only meet Betsy Dillon of Bridal Vision, but to actually observe her in action. Betsy provided the hair styling for my bride and her family, as well as makeup that complimented their hair style, skin tone and color, and the gowns that they would be wearing. Betsy had a calming demeanor and was so pleasant and acomodating. It was so nice to meet her and see her create her magic.

There is nothing better than having the opportunity for a professional to take care of your hair and makeup. She not only is available to provide services for Bridal Party's, but also for your special occasions. It was a thrill for me that Betsy handled my makeup and hair to prepare me to be at my best for the wedding as well.

If you are in New England, you should call Betsy at 603-765-7076 and 207 439-1184 or email her at bridalvisioncompany@comcast.net. She is a true professional who will not only make you feel comfortable and relaxed, but will bring out the true beauty in you for your special day.

Wentworth By The Sea, New Hampshire -Tammy & Ted Congratulations!

The Wentworth By The Sea is a spectacular location for a wedding. The floral gardens, the gazebo overlooking the harbor, and the meticulously manicured grounds, were many of the reasons that Tammy and Ted had selected the Wentworth By The Sea in New Castle for their wedding!

The day of the wedding, the angels were shedding tears of joy as evidenced by the rain that kept falling. The wedding ceremony was moved indoors, and the Wentworth Staff and the Kathy and Vinny owners of Jardiniere Florists worked their magic to transform the indoor location for the splendid wedding event. You can contact Kathy and Vinny at http://www.jardiniereflowers.com/ or call them at 603-427-5560.

Gina Damiano and all of the staff and outside vendors worked together to bring about a beautiful, elegant setting, where Tammy enjoyed her walk down the aisle to meet her handsome groom. The music for the ceremony was provided by Peter Bloom, flutist and Marery Hansen, Harpist. Peter can be contacted at phbloom@comcast.net and Margery can be contacted at 978-282-7425

There were many surprises in store for the guests. Tammy and Ted enjoyed a beautifully choreographed first dance, and enjoyed sharing a special dance with Tammy's grandparents who were celebrating a very special wedding anniversary. Congratulations to them as well!

One of the special elements of the ceremony included a sea glass ritual, and the breaking of a sand dollar. Each guest received their own sand dollar keepsake, inscribed with the names and date of the marriage.

Of course, the day would not have been complete without a visit from a very special guest! Boomer, the couples dog, outfitted with a rhinestone studded tuxedo with collar and leash, made his special appearance on the dancefloor.

The dancefloor was packed! The music selection pleased all ages! Even I managed to get in a dance or two. The DJ kept things moving. Doug Bounds is a professional DJ and Master of Ceremonies and he can be reached at 603.659.6938 or at his email dougbounds@comcast.net

The reception and staff of the Wentworth By The Sea demonstrated once again the elegance, style and professionalism that makes the location a highly sought after one by many couples. Every detail is handled with the utmost professionalism. I highly recommend this facility for any couple or special event function. For inquiries, email ino@wentworth.com or review the packaes listed on their website.

Professional photos were taken by Peter Clayman of Images, his website is wwww.nhimages.com and his email is pclayman@nhimages.com The images from Tammy and Ted's wedding will be available online in the next few weeks at http://www.nhimages.com/ He's truly top notch!
