Robert & Betsey's Wedding, Hyannis Golf Club, Hyannis, MA

Everything arranged by Betsey and Robert for their wedding at the Hyannis Golf Club was planned to a tee; the 10th tee, to be exact!

What a fun-loving and family oriented couple they were, too. Between this couple, their children and 15 grandchildren were all in attendance. All weddings are fun and celebratory times, but this extended family showed such a special fondness for Robert and Betsey as they were married on the golf course. My wife, Lianne thought that Betsey reminded her of the famous television chef, Paula Dean, given her natural beauty, social warmth and humor. A truly social lady, Betsey was mingling with her guests just prior to the service, relaxed and laughing with her friends and family. This couple had such social appeal that it took a full fifteen minutes after the ceremony for all to enter the air-conditioned reception hall (and it was nearly ninety degrees) for dinner and festivities. The cameras were clicking as hugs were exchanged congratulating Betsey and Robert.

Family and friends laughed when I shared with their guests that, given their wedding day is Betsey's birthday, too, that Robert had better not forget this special day next year and for many years to come! You'll see in one of the photos above their genuine laughter as I stated these words of wisdom to Robert.

Life has its interesting twists and turns. Robert and Betsey first knew one another when they were in their late teens. Today, with a backdrop of the handsomely landscaped golf course with its beautiful trees and lawns serenaded by a spectacular cape cod sunset, Robert and Betsey expressed in custom vows a commitment to love one another and cherish one another, in good times and in the difficult times, too. I have no doubt that they will do just that, with their many family members and friends by their side.

Congratulations Robert and Betsey! I may not know the game of golf, but I know when I see a happy couple who will dance together wherever life may take them; indeed, you match one another to a tee!
