Margaret and Brian and their parents arrived at the Captain's House Inn for an intimate family wedding, complete with a rented cape cod style cottage situated on the estate's manicured grounds and beautiful gardens. There were birds singing in the trees and the sun shone brightly on this handsome couple, as I delivered their custom wedding vows in the cozy garden in front of their cottage; the flowers seemed to sing about love and joy as they swayed in the light breeze and shone their brilliant colors for all to witness.
Margaret's father, a semi-retired Professor of History, gave a special reading from the Book of Tobit for this lovely couple's special wedding day:
"Blessed are you, O God of our fathers; praised be your name forever and ever. Let the heavens and all your creation praise you forever. You made Adam and you gave him his wife Eve to be his help and support; and from these two the human race descended. You said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone; let us make him a partner like himself.’ Now, Lord, you know that I take this wife of mine not because of desire, but for a noble purpose. Call down your mercy on me and on her, and allow us to live together to a happy old age. Amen"
