Paul and Leanora were one of those couples who made the best of a tough day posed by the threat of Hurricane Irene; Paul said that he never wanted to hear the name 'Irene' again, given that the hotel they stayed in with their guests was closed, sending he and the maid of honor on a wild ride to find new accommodations for their family and friends. But they did so, and the Daniel Webster Inn took they and their guests in, on short notice. How fortunate that all worked out so well.
But the Ridge Club is beautiful, and frankly, it was a superb reception venue that I'd never given a wedding service at prior; there was a wonderful dance floor and reception room that was adjoined by a garden trellis and slate patio where guests enjoyed beverages and appetizers.
Family and friends were in good cheer, despite the soon arrival of Hurricane Irene. Everyone gathered in the back garden covered by a beautiful white tent (just in the event of rain).
Leanora was walked down the aisle by her grandparents, and given away to Paul where we stood at the front of the tent. There were big smiles on both of their faces as they stood in front of me; they were so happy to be here, enjoying this special day.
Leanora and Paul had shared their custom vows and exchanged wedding rings. When I announced them to be husband and wife, and they kissed, the family and friends erupted in a great round of applause for this special couple.
Congratulations Leanora and Paul! Despite the challenge of a projected hurricane hitting Cape Cod, you took things in stride and made your special wedding day filled with joy anyway!
