Vermont elopement in English or français or both at once

bride and groom kiss after their wedding at the Governor's House

When I opened the inn I had no thought of hosting weddings. But the Governor’s House is a wonderful setting for a small wedding and there were many requests. I found that I enjoyed being part of that special occasion and trying to make it truly special. We have had hundreds of couples get married here since the first wedding nine years ago and they almost always tell me it was perfect – just what they wanted which is also just what I want. I try to accommodate their special requests. It is not always possible. But when it is possible, it may also lead to something new. That’s how the marriage made in heaven special came to be with the marriage ceremony taking place in a hot-air balloon. And now we have done a beautiful ceremony in both French and English. We had done both the marriage ceremony and the wedding vow renewal ceremony in either English or French. But when we had a couple with one English-only speaking family and one French-only speaking family we wrote a ceremony that everyone could understand. And I am very happy to now be able to offer it for anyone else. I like having French-speaking visitors, whether from from far away like our recent bride or from just across the border in Canada, so I hope the occasion comes again and I have a chance to practice my French.

Lors de l’ouverture de l’auberge je ne prévoyais pas organiser des réceptions de mariage. Cependant, l’auberge Governor’s House présente un merveilleux emplacement pour célébrer de noces intimes et je recevais un nombre de plus en plus important de demandes à cet effet. De plus, j’ai réalisé que j’appréciais prendre part à cet heureux événement et j’essayais de rendre ce moment inoubliable et hors du commun. Nous avons eu des centaines de couples qui se sont mariés ici et généralement les gens me disent que tout était parfait. Ils avaient eu la noce qu’ils souhaitaient et c’est ce que j’aime leur offrir. J’essaie, dans la mesure du possible, de répondre favorablement à toutes leurs demandes spéciales. Lorsque c’est possible de répondre à leurs demandes, il arrive parfois que le résultat est étonnant. Nous avons même eu un couple qui a célébré leur mariage dans une montgolfière! Nous avons organisé une cérémonie de mariage en français et en anglais, de même qu’une cérémonie de renouvellement de vœux de mariage et des réceptions en anglais et également en français. Lorsque nous avons eu un couple dont la famille d’un conjoint parlait uniquement le français et l’autre famille uniquement l’anglais, nous avons écrit la cérémonie dans les deux langues afin que tous puissent comprendre. Je suis très heureuse d’être maintenant capable d’offrir cela à quiconque aurait ce besoin.

So if you are thinking of saying, “Oui je consens” and “I do”, we might just be able to help.
