Surprise! We are getting married today!

We just love the twists and surprises that go along with weddings! We were preparing for two afternoon weddings already booked when we received a phone call from a potential bride. She explained that her husband to be worked long hours, so they were going to try to get married in a few weeks during the week. As we discussed her plans, Reverend Tab mentioned the area that the two afternoon weddings were going to be held that day. The bride stopped for a minute, then asked, “can you perform our wedding afterwards this evening?” They had already acquired their license and were thrilled with the immediate option! Needless to say, a lovely backyard wedding was put together within hours and the happy couple were able to exchange their vows that very day! What an amazing opportunity and great spontaneity this couple showed. Blessings to both of you as you begin your journey together!

The Verdict Is In!

This couple’s journey began with a school field trip to the Lapeer County Courthouse. They chose this as the location of their wedding several years later. It is a beautiful historic building with the jury box and judge’s chamber behind the judges seat with twin winding stair cases. We can see why this lovely couple wanted to tie the knot here. “All witnesses rise” was for the bride this time instead of the judge! Our best to you both!

En este, nuestro día de la boda (On this, our wedding day)

As we love what we do and always have unique opportunities, this couple approached us requesting a wedding ceremony. The bride spoke little English, but wanted me to perform their wedding nonetheless. Through an interpreter, we were able to communicate each and every word of the ceremony for her to be able to understand and repeat her vows. It was an awesome occasion and we are so grateful to be asked to be involved in joining together another man and woman in holy matrimony despite the language barrier!

Stony Creek Style

Wishing Well Weddings — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 19:11:55 +0000

We always love our weddings at Stony Creek, but, we have our memories from each that make it extra special! This happened to be one of the few super hot summer days in Michigan. When we arrived, the fans were blasting in the tent and we saw the bride sitting on a stool in her shorts and t-shirt trying to stay cool before the big moment arrived. The walk to the gazebo is a rather long one . . . but the couple had arranged for a golf cart to provide transportation to the guests who preferred not to walk. However, the cart arrived five minutes before the ceremony was about to begin so we were amused by the driver racing down and back scurrying to get the guest in place. The bride and her dad made the walk down the wood chip path to her waiting groom. All were alittle steamy, but it was worth every degree! May they find happiness and love and “warmth” throughout their marriage!

Selfridge Standby/Italy Bound!

Wishing Well Weddings — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:52:44 +0000

Two weeks prior to this wedding, we were contacted by the bride’s father asking if we could be on stay by for his daughter’s wedding. Obviously, this raised our curiousity as the details were revealed that both her and her fiance’ were in the Air Force and currently out of the country.

They had a three day window to fly to Michigan to get married before deployment to Italy and those dates were not quite known at this point. They were to be married in the chapel on Selfridge ANGB.

We were excited and honored to be a part of this precisely timed ceremony. We got the word two days before of the time and made our plans accordingly. The gloriously nervous bride and groom arrived separately as to not see each other before the moment of the bride’s entry.

Her dad stationed himself outside waiting for the other family members . . . then came the glitch. A few of the guests were lacking proper ID to get on to the base! After about a half an hour of negotiations and other forms of proof, the rest of the guests scurried in and the wedding began!

A very proud moment in our lives to help these two beautiful members of our armed forces began their married lives before being sent to another country. Congratulations, thank you and–we salute you!

Chapels in the Spring

Apple Mountain Chapel

Almont New Church Assembly

The last two weekend weddings involved beautiful historic chapels! There is something quaint about Springtime and chapels and, of course, getting to ring the bell in celebration after the newlyweds have been presented as husband and wife! We have performed weddings on several repeat occassions at various old chapels in Michigan and each one is unique!

Irish Wedding Blessing

Wishing Well Weddings — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:41:21 +0000

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God be with you and bless you;
May you see your children’s children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
