Performed a Commitment Ceremony for a wonderful couple in front of the Lady of the Sea Marine Memorial on Tuesday afternoon. Their son (who held the rings) and the bride’s mom (who took the pics) were in attendance. The couple got cheers from all around when the ceremony was done. Color was royal blue. Best Wishes D & J!

Did the honors as JP for a Lite Spiritual Wedding Ceremony for a wonderful couple in front of about 40 guests at their home in Brentwood on Saturday the 14th. The wedding was a surprise for all in attendance. The Lord’s Prayer was included in the ceremony. All the Best Rob & Dianne!

Wed a couple with a Classic Wedding Ceremony in front of about 15 close friends and family at their home in Hampstead on Saturday the 14th. Their very curious and active dog was also in attendance and managed to jump into a nearby swamp after which, upon emerging from the water, he very efficiently proceeded to shake himself off on both me and the couple. That was a first for me, but it was ok! I love dogs, and dare I say the cool water felt refreshing on what was a very warm day :)! Congratulations Sal & Ashley!

Performed a Custom Wedding Ceremony for a great couple on the grounds of the Science Center on Thursday the 12th. About 60 family and friends were in attendance. The wedding included a Sand Ceremony. The bride processed by herself and was met by the groom halfway up the aisle – very cool! What wasn’t as cool was the weather, as it was a very warm, humid day. Still, everyone there had a great time! Color was coral. Congrats Barry & Sharon!

Did the honors as JP/Minister for a Catholic Themed Wedding Ceremony for a delightful couple at the Inn on Wednesday afternoon. About 20 guests were in attendance. Color was Royal Blue. Best Wishes Ian & Emily!

Performed a Classic Spiritual Wedding Ceremony for a great couple at Scotland Fields in York on Saturday afternoon. The wedding included a special set of children’s vows, which I’ve included below.
