Performed a ceremony at Three Chimneys Inn this past Friday which featured a canine ring bearer! Kenny, a border collie, carried the couple’s rings around his neck in the processional. When it came time for the ring ceremony, I literally asked Kenny for the rings… “Kenny, may I have the rings” at which time the Groom removed the rings from Kenny’s neck and the couple proceeded to the exchange. Kenny did great. I love it when well-behaved pets are part of a wedding ceremony – after all, they are an important part of the family, so they should be there for the important parts of the family’s life. Congratulations Natalie & Terrence!
Hale Memorial Park, Newburyport
This was my first time performing a ceremony at Hale Memorial Park. It’s a great place, and I’ll be recommending it to couples in the future. The couple had set up a poster board with highlights of their lives leading up to their big day. They were married in front of the fountain that graces the park. Congratulations Crystal & Mark!
Great Island Common
What a great day it was for a wedding at Great Island Common in New Castle, NH this past Saturday. The couple decided to get married in the southeast corner of the park (which I think is the most picturesque). I married the couple with the surf up, and whitecaps galore in the background! All the best to Steve & Lexi!
Three Chimneys Inn
Performed a ceremony and provided music and voice amplification for a wonderful couple at TCI this past Friday. The Bride’s Processional Song was Yellow by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The Bridesmaids came down to an instrumental version of Halo by Aston, and the Recessional Song was Home by Phillip Phillips. It was a beautiful evening for a wedding with clear skies, comfortable temps, and very low humidity. Congratulations Mike & Jen!
Jenness Beach
Performed a vow renewal for a great couple married 20 years on Jenness Beach in Rye last Wednesday evening. They used the original unity candle from their wedding. Best wishes on your 20th Alan & Robin!

Rachel & Alex
Married a couple at a home wedding in Nottingham, NH on Sunday. I always love going to Nottingham because I spent 14 great years living there – it’s quiet country living at its best. It was a beautiful day for a wedding – sunny with low humidity – I wish the weather could be this nice for all of my couples! Congrats Rachel & Alex!
Seabrook Beach
Married a couple in a short ceremony with a few family members and good friends present on the beach in Seabrook on Sunday. Turns out the groom knows a good friend of mine – small world! Best of Luck Michael & Gina!
Dockside Restaurant, York, ME
Dockside Guest Quarters was the beautiful site of a wedding I did on Saturday. Each time I perform a wedding at the Dockside I always enjoy the great view of the harbor – quintessential Maine! Also got to work with my good friend, Photographer Ernie Osborn. Congratulations Lauren & Gary!
Greeley Park, Nashua
Did a wedding in Greeley Park this past Saturday. The sky was a bit threatening for a while, but it cleared out in time for the wedding. Best Wishes Patty & Lionel!
