Waterfront Promenade Park in Newburyport was the site of a ceremony for a great couple on Saturday afternoon. Although I’ve performed many ceremonies in Newburyport, I’d never done one in the Park. It’s a great place for a wedding! The ceremony featured a Carrick Bend. The Carrick Bend is a strong, beautifully interwoven knot that fishermen use to join two lines together. The couple used a Carrick Bend to tie two ropes together, symbolizing the joining together of their two families – it was lovely. Wedding colors were deep blue and peach pink. I also coordinated the rehearsal that took place on Friday evening. Congrats James & Laurie!
