Great Island Common, New Castle, NH
Performed a Customized Ceremony for a delightful couple at New Castle Common on Saturday afternoon in front of a handful of family/friends. The ceremony featured The Lord’s Prayer, the Apache Blessing, and some customized vows to go along with traditional vows. I’ve performed a lot of weddings in lots of different places at the Common, but this was the first one I performed under the tree by the big rock (which is in site of the playground). The weather was perfect. Color was bluish green. All the Best Andy & Sharon!

Great Island Common, New Castle, NH
My second wedding on Saturday evening was at New Castle Common. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t the best as the fog rolled in and obscured the scenic view of the ocean, lighthouses, etc. Otherwise, it was a nice shorter ceremony in front of a beautiful flowering tree for a great couple accompanied by a handful of family and friends. Congratulations Bill & Lynne!
Kitz Farm, Strafford, NH
Performed a Classic Spiritual Ceremony for a nice couple at Kitz Fram in Strafford this past Saturday afternoon. The ceremony was held in a field on the property. To get to the ceremony site I and the guests walked through a mowed path in a grass field. I was surprised to find the black flies still biting up there since they’ve been gone for a couple of weeks in Exeter. Luckily, a small breeze kicked up just before the ceremony started and this discouraged the flies. Otherwise, the ceremony site was beautiful and peaceful. The ceremony itself was delightful and conducted in front of about 115 family and friends. Color was navy blue. All the Best Ryan & Stephanie!

North Hampton, NH
Later on that Saturday afternoon, I performed a Spiritual Wedding Ceremony for a fantastic couple and their children in North Hampton. This ceremony featured a Puzzle Joining Ceremony that celebrated the union of the bride and groom and their children into one family. Each member of the family held a puzzle piece that fit into a specific place in the puzzle, and placed it in that spot on my cue, in essence, completing the puzzle. Here is the script used for that ceremony…
“Lisa and Mike, you are making a commitment to share the rest of your lives with each other and honor your children (Children’s Names) as well. Today, your family relationship will be symbolized through the placing of these individual puzzle pieces into our puzzle picture; One puzzle piece, representing you, Mike and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, one puzzle piece representing you, Lisa, and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be; and another puzzle piece for each child.
These children will share in this marriage. The gathering of this new family will have a deep influence on them. We know that in order for a home to be a happy one, it is essential that there be love and understanding between the children and the adults being wed. As you each hold your puzzle piece the separate puzzle pieces represent your lives to this moment; individual and unique. As you combine puzzle pieces together in the puzzle, your lives also join together as one family.
You may now place your pieces in the puzzle symbolizing the uniting of the children and bride and groom into one.
Just as these puzzle pieces will never be separated from the larger puzzle picture, so will your marriage and your family be.”
The couple recited personalized vows. Colors were burgundy and navy. All the Best Mike & Lisa!
