Nick and Donna's Wedding, The Beach Club at Wychmere Harbor, Harwich, MA

Nick and Donna had a wonderful wedding planned at the Wychmere Beach Club in Harwich, MA. The wind was whipping along the elegant grounds of the Beach Club - it

was quite misty, really. All felt like a truly Cape Cod wedding. Inside the Club, the photo of John F. Kennedy, Jackie, and their children graced the reception venue, and this photo rather matched the weather of the day.

The groom and his groomsmen and I walked across the estate's lawn overlooking the water channel where Coast Guard and other boaters travelled. The women of the bridal party walked delicately across the lawn, their pretty dresses blowing in the wind. Music was played to accompany the bridal party and their guests. All was so wonderful for a special wedding day.

Donna's dad walked her up the aisle where Nick and I stood at the entrance to the boat channel. As her dad gave her away, there was a tenderness between they and Nick that only a father could understand; he was so sweet and gentle as he kissed his daughter and then sat down in the front row with his wife.

Donna and Nick shared custom vows, expressing their commitment to one another to love and to laugh and to live out their days with one another. Having exchanged rings, they then were pronounced by me to be "husband and wife" and Nick was told that he "may kiss the bride".

A terrific wind swirled Donna's veil up and around the couple, embracing them just as they were kissing. My wife, Lianne, captured this glorious, romantic moment between the two, capturing their lovely kiss as husband and wife. The image makes one think of a cover of a bridal magazine, or a romantic novel!

Donna and Nick then recessed down the aisle and glided across the luxurious green lawn, hand in hand, dancing to the beat of the DJ's music - and as they approached the Wychmere Club, they broke out in a dance, swinging their hands and bodies in unison, arms raised in the air, totally joyful in the moment!

Congratulations to Nick and Donna! May you experience fair winds and calm seas for the remainder of your beautiful days together such as this one, enwrapped in the veil of love.
