Jared and Rebecca, their families and friends, could not have had a better day for celebrating their wedding at The Gazebo of the Chatham Bars Inn. The air was unseasonably warm for this Columbus Day weekend, and the sun shone over the hills leading down to the ocean below. A gentle, salty breeze swept through the trees as I delivered their custom wedding service in the gazebo; inside the gazebo, loved ones sat and enjoyed the intimate sacredness of their ceremony. Rebecca's and Jared's Aunts both selected meaningful biblical passages to read for this lovely couple; John 2:13-19 and Luke 8:22-25 were read to all witnessing this beautifully simple, yet elegant wedding. This lovely couple exchanged marriage vows written especially for one another. I think Jared best summed up his commitment to Rebecca with these words: "There is no way to know what awaits us, be it triumph or failure, ease or adversity, happiness or sorrow. But what can be said with all the resolve of faith is that as we stand here today, there is no one else with whom I would rather share joy, face uncertainty or build a life and family."
As I announced Jared and Rebecca husband and wife, Chatham Bars Inn servers arrived with glasses of champage for each wedding guest as a toast celebration to the marriage of this lovely couple! Hors D'oeuvre's were passed around to all before they were to have a fine wedding dinner reception in a reserved room at the Inn.
Congratulations to Jared and Rebecca! Thank you for including me in your special wedding day.
