Matthew & Krystle's Wedding, Lighthouse Inn, Dennis, MA

Matthew and Krystle and their families and friends arrived at the Lighthouse Inn in Dennis, Massachusetts just in time for a break in the stormy weather. Though it was gray outside, it did not effect this couple, nor their guests; prior to the service, beautiful music wafted through the air, even including a few instrumentals of what we usually know as Christmas classics such as "What Child Is This?" and other favorites. It was a beautiful venue as the ocean breeze gently cooled the lawn area where we stood. Seagulls flew in the background as the bride and her dad walked down the aisle to greet Matthew and me.

All of the bridal party were full of smiles and happy thoughts for Matthew and Krystel. There were tears, too, as I shared the wedding couples' special tribute to Matthew's dad, Albert.

Shortly later in the service, we all erupted into laughter and smiles when Matthew and Krystel were about to commence with their custom wedding vows. You see, on the stone pier directly behind us were two seagulls who suddenly made quite an excitable ruckus; I had just explained the symbolism of the wedding vows and the meaning of the rings. I'd like to believe they were cheering for this lovely couple's future together as husband and wife!

Pictured here are Matthew and Krystel, and yes, the seagulls are in the background too. They remained for the entire ceremony and watched along with the family and friends, as if to say, "We wish you happy times and endless love and joy together!"

Congratulations Matthew and Krystel! Like the gulls, may you soar together with the wind beneath your wings!
