Joe and Amie celebrated their wedding vows and exchanged rings before a group of their close friends and family, along with a few hundred strangers who moved their beach chairs and blankets to view Joe and Amie's wedding at Nauset Beach in Orleans, MA.
It had been an unseasonably hot day, however, the cool salty breeze coming off the ocean
was just what we needed to cool us down. The seagulls soared above us with ease, children played in the waves in the distance, and one could hear the beautiful guitar music as we prepared on the beach for Amie's arrival.
As Amie walked over the dune that led to the beach front, everyone got noticeably quiet. Looking so breathtaking as her mother and brother walked her to our home made altar by the sea, Amie's beauty turned every head on the beach - she looked like a princess in her gorgeous gown, laughing and smiling as her mom and brother held each arm in a loving manner.
As the guitar played, Amie's mom and brother each hugged and kissed her, giving her to her soon to be husband, Joe.
The service was simple and sweet. Amie and Joe both wrote their own vows, some of which caused Amie to laugh, and some, to cry. Weddings are wonderful, celebratory events filled with high emotions where the bride and/or groom shed tears of joy, and Amie was no exception. Dabbing her eyes and cheek with her kleenex, Amie was overwhelmed with joy and the strong emotional feelings she had for Joe.
All was so beautiful and special for this lovely couple. When I announced that Joe and Amie were "husband and wife" all of their friends and family cheered and a semi-circle of beach goers who happened upon this celebration applauded with enthusiasm! It was such a special moment for all, especially this lovely couple!
Congratulations to Joe and Amie! May life bring you so much joy together filled with sunny days and soft sea breezes.
