“Good things happen to good people.”

I think these simple words best describe this wedding day. On this sunny summer day I arrived to find a smiling bride without a care in the world. Katie was relaxed and excited for her wedding….Excited to be married and excited celebrate with her family and friends.

Katie arrived at the wedding in a horse drawn buggy so picturesque that it could have been taken from a fairy tail. The service was held on the lawn of St. Ann’s Chapel in Kennebunkport Maine over looking the ocean. Perfect in so many ways!

Dan & Katie left the service in the buggy and headed for the town dock to take a quick sail before joining their guests for a celebration and a few surprises that made this wedding one for the ages. After a 30 minute sail Katie and Dan sailed to the dock at the edge of the Nonantum Resortto join their guests.

As the guests all enjoyed the evening sun and a few cold drinks, a black stealthy looking motor boat drove up the river in front of the lawn. This boat was not like your normal pleasure boater as its crew all donned wet suits, life jackets and bullet proof vests. Seconds later a blue boat passed, captained by non other than former president Bush. It would be an understatement if I shared with you that this man is Dan’s idol. Lets just say that Dan is a big fan!

A few quick waves of the hand from the bride and Mr. President stopped his vessel and with some help from the secret service docked his boat to congratulate this young couple. It is so amazing that a former president of this country would interrupt his afternoon to congratulate a total stranger. This was not just a quick stop. It took some time to get his boat docked and he even invited the bride and groom to join him aboard the boat for a quick chat and a few photos.

Imagine being able to say “the president crashed my wedding!” How amazing!
