Ship Mates...a Pirate Wedding


Some weddings are such fun, I can hardly wait to post about them. Thanks to this couple for encouraging this minister pull out all her theatrical tricks. This wedding party set sail from the North Cove Marina (World Financial Center at Battery Park City) aboard the sailboat Shearwater with folks from France and Colombia, and one NYC "pirate" minister. Yes, I too was in costume and will post photos as they come in. Meanwhile, here is one I snapped this photo with my Blackberry at the pier before we set sail. The ceremony was in French and Spanish, and, as you may have gathered, rather hilarious, except for the couple's self-written vows and inspirational readings by their mothers. When the pirate minister found this pirate couple had invaded New York waters, she sentenced them to life...as a married couple, rather than order them to walk the plank.
