NH Justice of the Peace Wedding Journal

Just getting back from being out, but wanted to write about the wedding I performed at Pelham Inn on Saturday, April 18th. There was a big wedding party – 16 including the bride and groom. The weather sort of stole the show. The skies were threatening, and about 3/4 of the way through the ceremony, it began to rain. I’ve had that happen a few times in weddings I’ve done, and the key is to move the ceremony along faster, without making it seemed rushed – a very fine line – but I think I pulled it off since a lot of people including the most important people (the bride and groom) commented on how wonderful the ceremony was. Congratulations Brian & Gabby!

Started the Spring wedding season on Saturday with a ceremony at a great place to begin – the Castleton in Windham. It was a blustery, cool morning, and the ice was still on the pond, but the warmth from the couple’s love kept things heated up! We provided the voice amplification for a relatively large crowd. Wanted to send a special shout out to Ashley the coordinator who was very helpful and my old friend and colleague, Ernie Osborne, who provided the photography. And of course, wanted to mention my wife Cathy, who sets up and runs the mics! Proof again, as I often say, that if you have professional & skilled wedding vendors, you’re ceremony will be a great one! Congrats to Elise & James!

Performed an elopement ceremony this afternoon (March 31st) in our Ceremony Room in Brentwood. Congratulations Kenny & Tomi!

Attended the annual meeting of the New Hampshire Justice of the Peace Association. We shared lots of great information and a good time was had by all!

Married a couple at the beach on Saturday. It was a bit cold, and the snow was piled high, but the couple’s love was enough to keep things warm! We had a few onlookers, and one videoed the proceedings with her phone, to be sent to the couple later. All in all, a wonderful ceremony! Congrats Paul & Susan!

Performed a small ceremony for a great couple in their home in Hudson with a few family and friends in attendance. Best of luck Gloria & Mark!

Performed a brief elopement ceremony in our ceremony room on Wednesday. Congrats Sven & Trish!

A couple with roots in North Carolina were here on Friday to be married in our ceremony room. He is stationed at the Portsmouth Naval Base, and she made the trip up from N. Carolina. After the ceremony I hand-delivered the Certificate of Marriage to the Brentwood Town Clerk who completed the Marriage License for the couple on the spot. Great service here in Brentwood! Congratulations Cody & Lauren!

Performed a short but beautiful ceremony in our Ceremony Room in Brentwood on Sunday. The bride’s mom was in attendance and took the bouquet, handled the rings, and took pictures – she was one busy person! The bride was thrilled to be married, and she’s also is a big Pats fan, so I’m sure she’s even more thrilled today! Best wishes Gina & Gino!
