It was a perfect, blue-sky, gorgeous day on the lawn overlooking Pleasant Bay at the Wequassette Inn in Chatham. Dave, Julie and their friends and family convened to this beautiful spot to share in the celebration of their wedding ceremony. Julie and her bridal party carried ornamental parasols as they alighted onto the lush green lawn that served as an aisle to our wedding altar above the sea. It was an exquisite view, with boaters traveling below and seagulls sailing above. A pair of twin swans swam near the shoreline, basking in the sunlight.
Julie and her dad walked arm-in-arm from the side cottage, her decorative parasol twirling in the cape cod breeze. Dave waited expectantly, eager to hold hands with his lovely bride. A very touching scene, a few relatives were already teary eyed as they observed the custom ceremony Julie and Dave had arranged.
The sun shone brightly as it was noontime, and so Dave had his sunglasses on for the majority of the service. But as I announced the groom and bride to be "husband and wife" a member of the audience shouted, "Dave, take off your glasses!", to which he removed his sunglasses and revealed his happy blue eyes that said he was the luckiest man in the world!
Congratulations to Dave and Julie! May the breeze be fair, the sun shine, and the stars illuminate your nights for many years to come!
