I keep writing about weather, because I do so many ceremonies outdoors...and the weather can make or break the event.
Last Saturday the weather was a challenge. It was so cold and windy at the pavilion at the historic Conference House on Staten Island! Just look at my hair standing on end as evidence of the brisk breezes...and I was lucky to have a coat on.
In the last light of day, April and Jeff spoke their vows with about 20 shivering family and friends around them. Their mothers "tied the knot" in a handfasting ritual. And everyone cheered when they were declared husband and wife. Perhaps the cheers were that they might then head for shelter.
License signed, hugs all around, and off to a party...it turned out to be a memorable day for the couple. I won't forget it!
Julie Laudicina, Celebrant!
