Looking for scenic outdoor suggestions in Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro, or Moultonboro where this could take place (we had wanted Cate Park, but it sounds like a production to get a permit, etc?). Also, anyone know of a justice of the peace in the area you would recommend? Thanks so much!

What is the "justice of the peace" for?

At our 25th, we actually found the priest that married us, and he was really pleased to officiate at the renewal, and we were able to use the church in which we were married. He said it was becoming a rarity to do renewal of vows for the 25th anniversaries, because so many marriages didn't make it that far.

Congratulations to Sawyers Point Girl and the other half.

One of the fun things about owning an antique or classic boat is using it for unique events. I know three such boats that all participated in a wedding last October. This is not commercial charter, so you negotiate with the owner, no fee, but maybe donation to a charity. Almost any owner would be proud to do something like this and see some $$ going to a worthy cause. Of course, a private owner isn't at your beck and call for scheduling.

On shore, in Wolfeboro, I'd try to rent the Brewster Academy Boathouse. A little large for 10 people, maybe, but elegant. Some of the houses in Wolfeboro, Moultonboro, can also be rented.

Are you trying to do this for free, or just don't want to go commercial? We did a family wedding on the lake a few years ago. Most of the commercial places were booked several months in advance. That would eliminate a lot of choices if you're thinking 2014.
