A big thanks to all my couples who tied the know in 2011. It was an honor to be part of such an important milestone in your lives. It was a great year, and while things don’t always go smoothly due to forces out of our control, I must say with pride that there were [...]
Sorry folks, it’s been a while since I “blogged”. It’s been a hectic few months, but the wedding season has calmed down a bit (hopefully not for too long), so I’m back. I wanted to tell you about a ceremony I did on 11-11-11. Yes, it was a very popular day for couples to get [...]
Last weekend, I performed a civil union for one of my favorite couples – Glinda and Mary. They were married in the beautiful Olde Mill Inn in Basking Ridge, NJ. It was a beautiful crisp fall day, although quite windy. The ceremony was outdoors and it looked like the props on the table were going [...]
Yesterday afternoon, I officiated at the civil union of Tara and Meghan at the Alpine Boat Basin. It was a beautiful clear and sunny day (what a relief after all that rain) along the Hudson River as I joined Tara and Meghan together as a legal couple. They didn’t want an elaborate ceremony, but after [...]

Connie & Danny were married on May 1st at a lovely French restaurant, Le Jardin, in Edgewater, NJ directly overlooking the Hudson River. It was a beautiful spring day, the sun was shining, and you could clearly see the Manhattan skyline. The bride and groom wanted a simple ceremony with close family and friends. Simple, [...]
Seems like more and more brides and grooms are “going green” on their wedding day. So if you’re an eco-conscious loving couple or just not into the traditional glitz, here are some suggestions. The obvious, let’s start with the venue. During the warmer months, getting married outdoors, like in a park, the beach, a lake, [...]
Spring is indeed in the air, and the wedding season is upon us. Last week, I married a very lovely couple, Andrea and Stan. It was a small, lovely, and intimate affair held in their house. They wanted a very simple ceremony so I just included the statement of intent, vows, and ring exchange. Short, [...]
