What a beautiful sunny day on the lawn of the majestic Crosby Mansion in Brewster. The family and friends enjoyed a perfect view of this lovely couple exchanging their vows in front of this famous sea captain's style historical victorian home. Kevin and Jessica exchanged custom written vows to one another. Kevin promised Jessica that he would accompany her in "watching girlie movies", amongst other humorous and also, very touching promises. Once Kevin finished speaking his vows, it was Jessica's turn. Emotionally brought to tears, Jessica began to cry, to which Kevin reached up and gently caressed Jessica's face in a spontaneous gesture of love.
All was not tearful, however. As we approached the point in the service where I ask the best man for the rings, there seemed to be a pause . . . was the best man fumbling in his pockets because he'd lost the rings? Thoughts of what to do began to enter my mind. Within a moment, each groomsman was subsequently searching his pockets, going down the line. Pictured here are Jessica and Kevin and me laughing once we realized the trick was on us! Fortunately, all was in good fun, and the bride and groom were married, with rings, kisses and huge smiles.
Congratulations Kevin and Jessica! It was a beautiful day on the lawn of the Crosby Mansion, and I feel honored to have presided over your wedding service.
For many years to come, I envision that you will joyfully recall your special day when family, friends, and yes, even I were thinking,
"Got Rings?"
