What a gorgeous Labor Day weekend wedding for Brendon and Margaret, who traveled from Alaska to marry on the grand patio of the Indian Pond Country Club in Kingston, MA. Unusually warm and sunny for this time of year, the sun shone on they and their bridal party in its full splendor. Margaret's sister, Kristen, delivered an "Irish Wedding Blessing" for this special day. Kristen read: "May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home and may the hand of a friend always be near. May green be the grass you walk on, may blue be the skies above you, may pure be the joys that surround you, may true be the hearts that love you."
How appropriate this blessing was for this fun, warm and handsome couple, surrounded by 100+ family and friends overlooking the deep green golf course from the country club patio where I performed their custom wedding ceremony. After they said their special vows, and I declared Brendon and Margaret to be husband and wife, Brendon leaned over and lovingly gave his new wife a tender kiss on the cheek. Of all the couples I've married, I've yet to see that occur during the service. A gentle gesture from this strong Army pilot; very touching and heartfelt.
Brendon and Margaret may live far away from their family and friends, however, their loved ones will always be close in their hearts. Congratulations Brendon and Margaret! Thank you for having me officiate your wedding - it was such a pleasure for a wonderful couple. Enjoy Alaska together!
