Vinny and Adrienne's Wedding, The Chatham Bars Inn, Chatham, MA

This weekend, Vinny and Adrienne celebrated an elegant wedding at the boat house of the Chatham Bars Inn, in Chatham, MA. Though it had been unusually hot for Chatham, this lovely couple was fortunate enough to have offshore breezes usher them as they spoke their special vows and shared their commitment to one another beneath the flowered trellis that framed yachts in the distance.

A reading was given by Adrienne's sister, Paula Dygert, that was prepared for this special occasion. "Now you will feel no rain," she said, "for each of you will be shelter for each other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth for the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be a companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind yourselves often of what brought you together. Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your connection deserves... may beauty surround you both on the journey ahead and through all the years."

Adrienne's sister, Holly Dygert, sang the beautiful song, "From this Moment" by Shania Twain

I give my hand to you with all my heart,
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart,
My dreams, came true, because, of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing, I wouldn't give
From this, moment, on

Vinny's daughters, Raquel and Jordan, joined with Adrienne and Vinny in celebrating the Unity Candle Ceremony. The ocean breeze decided to gain some strength just as they were performing this sacred ritual symbolizing the union of this new family. Pictured here is their sheer joy in keeping the flame of their four individual candles lit onto the single candle of the engraved glass vase.

Everyone laughed and cheered with joy as Vinny, Adrienne, Raquel and Jordan overcame the elements to the flicker of one bright flame!

Congratulations Vinny and Adrienne! May your days together be filled with love and light.
