This weekend was a busy weekend for weddings and the elegant Chatham Bars Inn was buzzing with activity near its waterfront. Despite the inclement weather all were showing smiles and expressions of joy as they watched Mary and Eric exchange their vows and wedding rings with the beautiful backdrop of the Atlantic ocean behind.
Mary descended the stairwell to the lawn below wearing a beautiful white gown; her father met her at the bottom stair and guided her to the altar by the sea where Eric and I stood. Eric's eyes were smiling in anticipation of the arrival of his gorgeous bride - one could see the love on his face as he greeted her by holding her hands.
It was probably about 48 degrees out on the veranda nearby the sea, yet all was wonderful anyway! There were special readings chosen especially for this occasion that were delivered by Mary's niece, Margot and Mary's nephew, Thomas; they both did an excellent job, too. Here is the poem that Thomas read:
You are the star of each night,
You are the brightness of every morning,
You are the story of each guest,
You are the report of every land
No evil shall befall you, on hill nor bank,
In field or valley, on mountain or in glen.
Neither above, nor below, neither in sea,
Nor in shore, in skies above,
Nor in depths.
You are the kernel of my heart,
You are the face of my sun,
You are the harp of my music,
You are the crown of my company.
Congratulations Mary & Eric!
