If ever there was an iconic New Hampshire mountain — besides Mt Washington, Mt Lafayette, or Cannon Mtn (Profile) — the 3500-foot Mt Chocorua would fit the bill. After all, anyone and everyone coming up to the mountains on the east side of the state (via NH Route 16) sees this beautiful, rocky-topped mountain before all others usually. Many people see it, know it’s shorter than […]
Teaching someone the art of navigation or some other backcountry craft is immensely satisfying. So is introducing someone to our incredible mountains for their very first time. But both of these pale in comparison to the incredible feeling of satisfaction we derive from performing weddings, uniting two souls for a future of togetherness that continues on ’til death do you part. It’s special. And special describes […]
Yesterday, February 24th, 2018, was the wedding of Corey and Jodi, a couple who reached out recently with plans for a small, intimate service. Since we do remind couples they can have it however they like, this service had a custom twist. To begin, our Justice of the Peace Mike Cherim recited a poem called the “The Invitation” by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. And this was but […]

We just posted about a wedding we officiated at Glen Ellis Falls. And as was mentioned, it wasn’t the only wedding of the day. After a morning at the falls, our Justice of the Peace, Mike Cherim, set out for Crawford Notch and an iconic and aptly-named rock called Elephant Head. For those who don’t know, Elephant Head is a 150-foot high rock formation located at […]
Sure, we love guiding outdoor adventures and we enjoy the satisfaction of offering wilderness education to others, but one of the things that really warms our hearts are the weddings we perform. This is fortunate on some days. Like Saturday, November 11th, for example. It was pretty nippy out as you will recall. We needed all the heartwarming we could get. Thankfully we had two weddings […]
Brides and grooms, we have good news: you can do no wrong. If you’ve been worried, stressing about how your non-denominational wedding ceremony will proceed or the vows that you’ll recite, you cannot screw this up. Seriously. We offer a simple standard ceremony and vows, and most folks are okay with that, but we are here to tell you that you can have it basically however […]
Named after Thomas Starr King, the summit of this 3907-foot mountain was the choice of venue for today’s bride and groom, Katie and Brian. It would hopefully provide views and they felt is was a place all their hiker and non-hiker friends and family could reach. Everyone did make it up there, so that was right on. The views, however, were lacking thanks to a low […]
It seems like just last week that we were contacted by Elizabeth. She and her fiancé, Tom, she explained wanted to tie the knot. Moreover, they wanted to do it on a mountain top or something really cool and magical like that. After some conversation, gauging drive distances and such — as they were located in Lebanon, NH — we suggested the 2605-foot Welch Mountain. This […]
Not all of the weddings and vows renewals we officiate are on mountains or in the forest. Some, like today’s, was miles from the wilds. Here’s a recap of day’s event officiated by Redline Guide, owner, and NH Justice of the Peace, Mike Cherim. It’s wedding season, that’s for sure, and today (September 16th, 2017) saw another union of a young, loving couple: Allison and Dan. […]
And just to be clear, this isn’t just any old wedding on a farm, this is the wedding of Redline Guide Mike Kaminski and his lovely bride, Nicole. That’s right, one of our own, tied to the hitchin’ post and loving it. And we were playing a part. The ceremony, which took place on Saturday the 9th of September — a beautiful day with perfect temperatures […]
Tom and Tracy made their way along the river, slowly but steadily edging closer to the massive waterfall. The 64-foot drop is awe-inspiring and terribly dangerous to anyone who might get too close. What were they doing? As the couple moved ever closer it appeared to all who where there that this couple was about to take the plunge! Nobody was alarmed, however, and nobody shouted […]
