Today, I felt honored to perform the marriage ceremony of Jessica and Tom on the South Lawn of the Chatham Bars Inn. This day was perfect for a July wedding on Cape Cod. The fog rolled in just prior to our commencing the service, yet the sun shone through just as I introduced Tom and Jessica as "husband and wife" to their family and friends. Mother nature had perfect timing! The venue was wonderful, with the seagulls soaring above us and lush green lawns filled with people lounging and enjoying the beautiful, salt-filled air. A slight sea mist was brought in off the shore, and the sounds of boats in the harbor beyond us and children laughing and playing at the Inn's pool side in the far distance, made this the most festive affair! All in all, a bride and her groom could not ask for a better day.
There were custom readings from Tom's Uncle/Godfather who read an Irish Blessing and Jessica's Aunt/Godmother, who read a special "blessing of the hands" (of the bride and groom). All was very intimate and touching for this very handsome, lovely couple.
Congratulations to Tom and Jessica! "May the road rise to meet you, and may the wind always be at your back".
