Same-sex Honeymoon Island Wedding Ceremony

by Charmaine Doumanian

Jessie and her partner, Inga, were coming to Florida to visit her Mother in Sarasota. They wanted a simple beach wedding. Jessie is from Canada and her partner is from Germany. They met almost two years ago when Jessie was traveling on business in Germany. They wanted us to do photos, officiant, and asked for suggestions on a nice beach to have the ceremony.

We decided on a sunset Honeymoon Island wedding ceremony in Dunedin Florida.  Monday was a beautiful night. Jessie and Inga were very pleased with the location. They couldn’t believe how beautiful the white sand was and how gorgeous the beach was. I performed the ceremony just as sun was setting.

As I was performing the ceremony I noticed two women on the beach watching the ceremony.  After the ceremony while George Sr. was taking photos they came up to me and said, “Thank you for marrying them; that was beautiful.” They were very much in love themselves and loved watching the ceremony. They asked if they could give Jessie and Inga a hug. Jessie and Inga were delighted and pleased to see how excited they were. They all hugged and shared congratulations.

Jessie and Inga were going on a road trip for their honeymoon. First they were driving their cool convertible that they rented down to Miami. They were then continuing down to Key West and then heading back to Canada. They were going to be having a large wedding at a later date in Canada.

Jessie and Inga were so pleased with our services. They asked for one last picture….them driving off in the sunset. They thanked us so much. They were a fun couple and we totally enjoyed being a part of their Honeymoon Island wedding ceremony.
