Feel’s like summer is in the air in New York City.
Over the past couple of decades of my life, summer has been all about WEDDING SEASON!
I’ve officated so many wonderful ceremonies at locations that are dazzling during the summer months. Still warms my heart to stand in a park, on a terrace, on a beach or in an air conditioned castle (and many other places!) to bring together a couple in love.
Summer also conjures so many memories for everyone of bathing suits, beaches, and vacations and of barbecues, pool parties, and parks. It reminds us of lazy days, first loves, and happy memories from the warm days of youth.
Summer has innocence and ripeness, and carries a chance to breathe in fresh air and do fun things as we shake off the shackles of the colder seasons. Summer opens the door to friendly gatherings, walks along the sand, and new adventures.
Here are 21 quotes that remind us just how much we love summer.

When all is summer there.
