Nicholas and Michele, along with their close friends and family, shared an intimate service in the main dining room of the Chatham Bars Inn. As the wind picked up and the rain fell outside, we stayed toasty warm inside, situated in front of the Inn's grand gas fireplace where Nicholas and Michele exchanged their special vows for one another. I must say that this was the first August wedding I've performed where we used the fireplace!A touching ceremony, Nicholas was overcome with emotion as he expressed his love for Michele; tears began rolling down his cheeks when he said his vows. He showed such tenderness toward his bride. Michele, when she saw Nicholas cry, began to cry, too. As my sister would say, they were "happy tears". Having performed many weddings over the years, I am still impressed by the outpouring of emotion and love a wedding ceremony draws. I've learned and have come to appreciate that grooms cry, too.
Immediately following the service, family and friends encircled the pair, sharing hugs and congratulations. In this beautiful Inn by the sea, all of the finer aspects of life were present to be shared together in a simple yet sacred ceremony for two.
Congratulations to Nicholas and Michele! May you always recall your intimate wedding day with "happy tears".
