I
MPORTANT NOTE:

All kidding aside from your knowing my whole life story, knowing that I am a HUGE Boston Red Sox fan, and meeting my
family, my husband said to me "Carol, people are going to think that you are a nut when they see this web page."  My
answer to him was that I want couples to feel comfortable with me.  I want them to know the person who is officiating over
their ceremony. What you see on my website is my personality. I consider myself to be fun and a very caring person.  I love
what I do! Too many times I have seen couples get themselves so stressed out over planning  their wedding day -- and my
goal is to let them know that there is no need for them to get stressed out.  On your special day, your wedding coordinator,
officiant, DJ, Photographer, etc. always get together before your ceremony to make sure that we are all on the same page
so that you both can relax.  That is what you are paying us to do.  It is "our job" to make sure that your most precious
day of your life goes as you planned.  We, as professionals, know this and that is why we are there.

Boston Red Sox
Fenway Park Wedding
9/30/2007

My long awaited dream to officiate a wedding
at Fenway Park finally came true during the
last game of the Regular 2007 Season
against the Minnesota Twins.  It took place
during the Seventh-Inning Stretch on the
Green Monster.  Despite a 3-2 loss, it didn't
matter. What mattered was that I was able
to fulfill a dream for this loving couple,
Annette & Larry Rine, from Scanectaty,
New York.

With my favorite person to attend Red Sox games with -- MY MOM!!!  Bernice Person Abbott.
Mom's 85th Birthday present -- a message on the Fenway Screen -- and on the same day that I performed my first Red Sox wedding.  
It was awesome to have Mom be there to witness my dream!

football / Patriots Fan) but does
indeed love our SOX!!!
A Heart Warming Ceremony
12/29/2007







The one ceremony that I will always hold dear to my heart, is the ceremony of Serge and Nicole Carrier.  The Carrier's were united as a
couple on December 29, 2007 at Tufts New England Medical Center in Boston. The couple, who have been together for ten years, got
engaged in the Fall of 2007, and set their wedding date for December 29th. Two weeks later, Serge suffered a severe heart attack on the day
that his future bride, Nicole, went out with her sister to pick up her wedding dress.  Upon arriving home, Nicole found Serge gravely ill.  Once
at the hospital, they learned that Serge had been stricken with a heart attack and stroke beyond repair.  While Serge is able to speak, he is
paralyzed on one side and partially paralyzed on the other side, and is being kept alive with an artificial heart, while he waits, and prays, for a
heart transplant.

However, this did not stop Serge from wanting his wish for a December 29th wedding.  Nicole and Serge were determined to go forward with
their plan to marry, and to have their wedding in December.  Doctors told Serge that he could not leave the hospital to fulfill his wish;
therefore, they gave Nicole and Serge permission to bring their wedding to them, at the hospital, with their guests and all.

I was fortunate enough to be chosen as the officiant to conduct Nicole and Serge’s ceremony, and I was not only honored, but I truly believe
that I was given an opportunity to give a gift to two very special people.  It was also a gift given to me for being asked to be the one to marry
them, and to make their dream come true.  Serge was determined to keep the original date that was planned for his wedding. He said that he
wanted a ring on his finger in the event that he did not make it into the New Year.  That was emotionally tough for me to hear. While I held up
during the ceremony, I confess to getting a bit teary eyed when Nicole placed the ring on Serge's finger!

Having said that, I hope that every one who reads this Webpage will keep Nicole and Serge in your thoughts. Thank you.

Manny Ramírez.
The look on his face says it all!
This is what baseball is all about!
I was fortunate to be at the Red Sox game on June 20, 2008, when they celebrated the 2008 NBA World Champions, the Boston Celtics.  Paul Pierce
threw out the first pitch.
 We did not win the game, but this in itself, was a very special game!!!
