Janice and Jesse
Smiths Barn
Brooksby Farm,
Peabody, MA – November 4th 2007
This is one of the weddings from my old website. I am working on moving over some of the ones that I can rescue before that source is completely removed. Please bear with me.
We open with Macbeth..
Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.
Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined.
Harpier cries ‘Tis time, ’tis time.
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
I officiated this wedding dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow. It was great fun, and all the guests and wedding party were in costumes. One of my favourites was the mini skunk who wandered around the room. Very cute.
As you can see from the vows, it was a unique event and refreshingly different.
We ended with…..
Repeat after me…
Come one, come all as spirits roam
And witness love brought to our home
On Hallows night our vows are made
In brightest light and darkest shade
Dance madly to the sounds of ghouls
And witness once again these fools.
By power given to me today
By states of this fair USA
By those who wed and stand here now
I accept that these two made their vow
And stand before you for all to see
Husband and Wife in merry glee
Come you all to witness this
The final sealing with a kiss
In death as well as in this life
I now declare you man and wife!
Ladies, gentlemen, Witches, ghouls
I now present these merry fools!
Mr and Mrs Jesse P!
