Julie and Anthony were the ray of sunshine at the Hemisphere Restaurant where their family and friends gathered to witness their custom wedding ceremony. It looked as if a celebrity had arrived as the horse drawn carriage pulled into the parking lot led by two handsome white horses named "Harry" and "Jake." My wife Lianne took a photo to show you of the bride's unique transportation.
For this lovely couple, 3 is their lucky number! As they shared their story with me, they first met by a chance meeting when they were 17 years old during school break in the Bahamas. A second chance meeting occurred randomly 4 months later on Hampton Beach. Fast forward to 2012 when Anthony contacted Julie by email and the relationship resumed. Julie expressed to Anthony during their service, "For over 36 years, I never believed in fate or true love. It was something that existed in fairy tales or the movies, but not in real life... you came into my life quietly and unassuming, and left as quietly...twice. The third time was different...Three times in one lifetime. We are so lucky! Thank you for proving to me that fate and true love aren't just for fairy tales and movies. I love you."
They exchanged rings before their beloved guests and then with their children - Samantha, Brenna, Anthony and Dominic- performed a spiritual sand ceremony symbolizing the union of their separate lives joined together into one new life as a family.
Congratulations to Julie and Anthony! May you experience much love, joy and happiness together thereby creating your own wonderful fairy tale come true!
