Kristie and I met Charlie and Corinne a few years ago at a Valentine's Day party hosted by the LGBT Coalition of Western Massachusetts. We hit it off pretty quickly and kept running into each other out on the town in Northampton, and even watched a Bruins game together during the Stanley Cup one year.
Corinne and Charlie were kind enough to let me tag along on their wedding day to practice my videography skills. Their celebration (held in late August at Morse Hill) was so full of love and thoughtfulness. From the dogs running around in the grass to children blowing bubbles (Charlie is a nanny and Corinne runs a daycare) to the community feeling of the ceremony and the woodsy location -- it was just plain fun. And so relaxed!
Charlie and Corinne got ready separately, each in their own cabin, and then made their way to the meadow ceremony. 60 friends and family members stood in a big circle delineated by wildflowers while the brides exchanged heartfelt vows (let's just say I was pretty grateful I was wearing sunglasses and no one could tell how much I was crying!). One of Corinne's brothers and his girlfriend (who also did Corrine's hair and makeup and baked the wedding cake) performed a beautiful song following their vows before closing the ceremony. Then the entire wedding party made their way down to the high ropes course, where Corinne did a flying "leap of faith" from a 40-ft perch into Charlie's arms -- wedding dress and all! The rest of the day was spent with guests using the ropes courses and obstacles, dancing, swimming, eating, and playing games.
I hope the vibe of the whole day comes across in the video. It was totally lovely, and I know Charlie and Corinne will have many years of happiness together!
Please check out the video if you have a moment...I would love to hear what you think!
