The bride fell in love with the groom, and we mean that in the most literal sense possible. You see, she fell about 30′ off of a cliff doing some damage to herself in the process. Her body eventually mended but it was clear that there were going to long term effects from the fall. A progressive thing that would be with her forever. Provided they […]
It was clear to anyone looking out their window early that morning that this Independence Day was going to be spectacular. First of all, on tap for the day was a mountain wedding. Second, the weather forecast for the New Hampshire higher summits was looking really good. It was calling for cool temperatures in the fifties with partly sunny skies. Sure, there was a chance of […]
Mike walked through the venue’s front door, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, face mask on, along with his trademark Buff, and approached the front counter. The receptionist eyed him suspiciously. “May I help you?” he asked. Mike replied he was here for the wedding, serving as Justice of the Peace. They requested he sign in, complete with a COVID19 questionnaire, and he did, but only after […]
We decided we didn’t want to associate the title of this post with anything even remotely negative, but let’s face it, by “spring of 2020” we mean during the coronavirus pandemic, at a time when the nation is trying to re-open, all while tensions from racial inequality reach a boiling point and the world is rising in protest. This is what is going on in the […]
We officiated up to three weddings in a single day last year — yes, we do weddings. We expect more of the same this year and as such have asked Redline Guide Jeffrey Shutak if he would apply to become a N.H. Justice of the Peace. He agreed, and now there are two of us. Thus, as the state puts it, let it be known… To […]
Billy Idol would have said that it was a nice day for a white wedding and we would have to wholeheartedly agree. And so would the bride and groom. You see, this snowy day wedding was requested. The couple, from Florida, wanted to have a wedding in the woods, snowy and beautiful. This was her wish, in particular. To walk into the snow laden forest and […]
We’re excited to be the recipient of our second Wedding Wire Couples’ Choice Award. This one for 2020. This is being given, of course, for our very cool and pretty much unbeatable mountain top and wilderness wedding services (and vows renewals). Didn’t know we did that?! Well, are you’re ready for some real adventure? Maybe marriage is the thing for you. And if that’s how you […]
New Hampshire can be a confusing state. One morning we wake up to a beautifully frosty fall morning, that crispness in the air, clear blue skies, and a riot of color presented by the foliage. And no bugs! Then the next morning we wake up to sun and warmth, downright balmy weather, complete with an insect hatch of some sort of midges or something. Granted, it’s […]
It’s not the first time we’ve had a wedding at Glen Ellis Falls, but we think the foliage this time was completely out of control. And we mean that in the best way possible. The scene was an absolute riot of color — dazzling reds, oranges, and yellows brilliant in the sunshine amid the greens. The skies so blue offering a nice backdrop to it all. […]
The call came in this morning, much like they often do. This one from the groom. “My fiancé and I want to get married and were wondering if you’re available,” he asked. “Yes. Maybe. When are you thinking?” we asked in reply, breaking out the calendar as we spoke. “Now!” said the groom. We looked out the window, the rain coming down and asked where they […]
The title will have meaning to the couple, since the rehearsal was held on what they deemed “Flannel Friday” — the day before their Saturday wedding. And during the Friday rehearsal, flannel was indeed all the rage. Redline Guide and Justice of the Peace Mike Cherim didn’t get the memo on this, however, but almost grabbed a flannel shirt out of his closet before heading over […]
A marriage ceremony is a solemn event, a serious thing… so please refrain from laughter. Unless, that is, you’re the bride and groom who even on your wedding day spark lively with your irreverence. To you, dear couple, you may carry on. For you, dear couple, you will be unstoppable. That’s what we saw at Frank and Jennifer’s wedding atop Square Ledge in Pinkham’s Grant (Pinkham […]
