NH Justice of the Peace Wedding Journal

Performed a Jewish themed ceremony at Three Chimneys Inn, Durham, NH on Saturday. This ceremony featured a toast, a ring warming, a couple of great readings and, of course, the traditional breaking of the glass. Best Wishes John & Rachel!

Performed a great little ceremony at a home in Raymond on Saturday. Colors were pink and black, and I wore a tie and jacket to match – yes, it was the TIE that was pink. Congrats Travys & Marie!

Performed a ceremony for an already married couple at Rye Harbor State Park this past Saturday. The rehearsal was the day before at Fox’s Lobster House in York, ME. Actually, the rehearsal was schedule to be outside at Nubble Lighthouse, but the weather didn’t cooperate. Fortunately, the weather for their ceremony on Saturday was gorgeous! I’ve noticed that to be a developing pattern this wedding season – inclement weather for the rehearsal but beautiful weather for the ceremony. It beats the reverse (beautiful for the rehearsal, bad for the ceremony), but still, I’m hoping we get out of that pattern and begin the be able to hold our rehearsals outside in more pleasant weather. In any case – congratulations and best of luck to Ryan and Camila!

Had several weddings at many different sites this weekend including Dell-Lea Country Club, the Moffatt-Ladd House and Garden in Portsmouth, Three Chimneys Inn, Hampton Beach, and the Portsmouth Country Club. Congrats Dino & Karissa, Ashleigh & Mike, Bree & Eli, Nick & Chelsie, and Melissa & Matt!

Performed and provided music for a wonderful ceremony at Three Chimneys Inn in Durham this past Sunday. It was a warm, beautiful day. A candle was lit in remembrance of the Bride’s brother. Congrats Alyssa & Owen!

Performed a ceremony with a tree planting at Zorvino’s Vineyard on Sunday. Congrats Bren & Jen!

Did a couple of small ceremonies in couple’s homes over the weekend. Congratulations Melissa & Dale and Shannon & Joshua!

Was at Fratello’s in Manchester on Saturday, and wed Russ & Mary in the Jefferson-Stark Room. Worked along side my good friend, photographer Ernie Osborne, along with DJ Ken Dion from Main Event Entertainment, who played the ceremony music. The bride’s ring was already on her finger, and she couldn’t get it off, so we did a “faux ring” ceremony for her ring (i.e. we went through the motions without the ring). Guests were far enough away so they probably couldn’t tell… Best Wishes Russ & Mary!

Did a very private elopement in our ceremony room yesterday. Well, it was private until the couple asked to see my two canine companions! And they were more than happy to serve as the witnesses! Best wishes, Theresa & Robert!
