Add the possibility of a wedding backlog to the long list of things that Charlie Baker will have to contend with when he becomes governor next month.
The change in administration is about to bring about a temporary freeze on the special licenses required for a friend or family member to perform wedding ceremonies in Massachusetts. Starting Friday, those hoping to be officiants-for-a-day will have to wait until Jan. 8 to apply for permission to help a happy couple say, “I do.”
“That will probably be one of the few backlogs that I actually solve in a relatively short period of time,” Baker said this week.
In addition to fixing budget shortfalls and considering criminal pardons, the governor’s office also approves applications for what is called a “one-day marriage designation.”
“In the larger context of a lot of things I’ll be worrying about, that is certainly something I look forward to doing,” Baker said.
And there are a lot of them — 5,100 so far this year, according to the state, which estimates getting about 14 applications a day on average.
“I’ve had friends who have actually been the one-day designee for a variety of marriages over the years,” he said. “The idea that you can set something up in such a way that people have a chance to bring a friend or a colleague or a loved one into the ceremony, I think is a really neat opportunity.”
Governor Deval Patrick’s office said the freeze is needed to make sure all pending applications are processed before Baker takes over next month and none fall through the cracks during the handoff. The plan is to brief whoever assumes this role to make sure he or she can take over the job immediately.
“We are committed to ensuring a smooth, transparent, and efficient transition,” said a statement from Patrick’s office.
News of the freeze seems to have gone under the radar, catching some wedding planners off guard. Thank goodness, they said, this is not high wedding season, or the temporary freeze might ratchet up wedding-planning anxiety.
“I’ve planned weddings for over 15 years and feel I have my ear out to all weddings news, and haven’t yet heard of this,” said Dustin Rennells, of Dustin Rennells Design in Boston.
For Massachusetts couples, January weddings tend to take place somewhere warm and sunny, according to the experts. Still, there are those who walk down the aisle in the dead of winter. In 2013, for example, there were five weddings officiated by people with a one-day pass in January, compared with 349 in May, state figures show.
And if one of those five people were a client of Amy Kimball’s who hadn’t gotten their application processed by now, Kimball said she would be a nervous wreck.
“As a planner, if the designated person didn’t have a license two weeks in advance, or three weeks in advance, to make this legal, I would be beside myself,” said the owner of Boston-based Kimball Events.
Kimball said she always asks whoever is officiating — if not a justice of the peace, member of the clergy, or an elected official — to apply “as far as out as they can . . . because the nightmare would be to have them officiate and not have it legal.”
According to the application, someone looking to marry a friend or family member in Massachusetts must petition the governor to “designate me to solemnize a particular marriage.” They must explain why they were selected and must have a letter of reference “attesting to the applicant’s high standard of character” written by someone other than the future spouses.
It was former governor Michael Dukakis who signed the special designation into law in 1990. Before that, individual couples had to file a special bill with the Legislature to have a friend or family member preside over their nuptials. Since then, popularity in the daylong pass has skyrocketed, jumping some 64 percent from 2010.
Rennells said he works with many weddings that some would consider alternative, such as gay and lesbian couples, non-religious couples, or interfaith couples wanting to keep religion out of the ceremony.
“Therein, the only logical source is a friend or family member who can perform a meaningful ceremony on their behalf,” he said. “For those couples, specifically, there may not be another option.”
For those who find themselves stuck in application limbo, Rennells and others have this advice: Go ahead with the wedding as planned, focus on the love, and get to a justice of the peace as soon as possible.

La. baker recreates Hank Williams wedding cake for film
Faye Fair has been in the baking business for 39 years, but a recent order really took the cake.
She was hired to recreate the elaborate wedding confection served at country music legend Hank Williams and Billie Jean Jones Eshliman’s 1952 New Orleans wedding for the movie “I Saw the Light.”
The movie, which wraps production in Shreveport on Friday, stars British actor Tom Hiddleston — best known for his role of Loki in the Marvel Studios film “Thor,” “The Avengers” and “Thor: The Dark World” — as Williams. Maddie Hasson stars as Shreveporter Billie Jean, who married another country music star, Johnny Horton, after Williams death.

Fair was hired for the job upon the recommendation of the film’s assistant prop master, Hannah Roark, who knew Fair because her mother took cake decorating classes from her.
“I knew that she could handle anything we threw at her,” Roark said.
And what they threw at her was no joke, as Roark said.
A photo of the original wedding cake shows a gaudy, three-layer cake with a fluted tower and wedding topper.
Why go to the trouble to duplicate that look?
“We’re trying to be as authentic as possible in every aspect of shooting,” Roark said.
That meant hours of study for Fair as she tried to figure out how to recreate the cake using only poor quality black-and-white photographs as guides. Actually making the cake took two weeks.
The finished cake consists of an 18-inch layer bottom, 14-inch layer middle and 10-inch layer top with a tower and wedding topper. The total creation is 44 inches tall.
Only the middle layer of the cake was real so the actors could cut and eat it for the wedding reception scene. When Fair returned the disassembled cake to her shop, she added a dummy middle layer so she can keep it for display.
The most difficult part was creating the tower, which Fair believes was made of puff pastry on the original and which she recreated in Styrofoam.
Another roadblock: finding the vintage decorative items, such as the bride and groom wedding topper.
“They don’t make them anymore, so we had to take one that we could find and actually take it apart and put it back together with what we thought it would look like back then.”
Fair said the cake was a $2,000 job, but she charged less in exchange for being able to stay on set while the scene was filmed. Although there was a bit of confusion when she arrived with the cake, she was able to sit near the back of the Municipal Auditorium during filming from 2-8:30 p.m. Nov. 21.
And it’s a good thing she stayed.
“It ended up they needed me three times during the course of the day. They had a beautiful spotlight on my cake all day long. The roses on this row kept falling off because it’s real icing and real cake. So I’d run down and I’d fix it and then I’d go back and sit down.”
The minor mishaps didn’t tarnish the experience.
“The director thanked me profusely for actually copying that period of wedding cake and told me how good a job I did,” Fair said.
And Fair couldn’t say enough nice things about Hiddleston.
“He stayed in room where the cake was and when I went down to dissemble it so I could take it off the table, he shook my and my husband’s hand and he told me how pretty the cake was and how good it tasted. I thanked him for actually eating it. He sat down at the table and actually ate his piece of cake. I told him ‘I’m so sorry I haven’t seen any of your movies, but I’m buying this one when it comes out.’ He’s so sweet. He’s a really nice person.”
Fair wishes the film premiere, expected to be in sometime in 2015, would be at the Municipal Auditorium.
“I just think it would give everyone a little glam in their life,” she said.
But one thing she’s sure of: “I’ll be there the first day that it’s out.
“I think I’m going to be nervous because the roses fell off and, of course, I strive for perfection. But I’m going to be excited because I got to be a part of something.”

A wedding date to remember - or at least one he CAN remember
It's rare. It's orderly. And when it comes to remembering an anniversary date, it's as easy as 12/13/14.
Saturday's December 13, 2014, represents the last sequential calendar date for at least 20 years (Jan. 2, 2034) and another 89 years if waiting for Jan. 2, 2103.
If a person has a heart set on commemorating the next 12/13/14, make sure that heart can stand another 100 years on earth to make it to Dec. 13, 2114.
For cryogenic fans, it's 1,000 years until 3014.
Picture : WEDDING DRESSES AUSTRALIA
A sequence comes sooner for math nerds with pi. The day is mere months away on March, 14 (Get it? 3.1415 ....)
The dates represent a lucky list of number for some gamblers and certainly a memorable birth date for others.
Lottery players looking for a bit of extra luck love these kinds of quirky number combos.
On Sept. 11, 2002, the winning numbers in New York State's Pick 3 game were 9-1-1. A total of 5,631 people picked the winning sequence; the combination was picked so many times, the numbers were closed out.
Maura McCann, a spokeswoman for the New Hampshire Lottery, said they anticipate selling more tickets on sequential or repetitive dates such as 12/12/12, but notes that lottery players get inspired by all sorts of things. In 2005, more than 100 winners of a secondary $100,000 Powerball prize played numbers linked back to the numbers in a single fortune cookie
Lottery players, kind of in a nutshell, are superstitious,' McCann said.
The numbers mean less in Las Vegas sports betting books.
In horse racing , it would mean an unusual number of horses would have to run to take a ticket on 12, 13, 14, said John Avello, the director of the race and sports operations at the Wynn hotel-casino.
A roulette wheel stands to be the more likely destination for a gambler looking to chance it with the date, he said.
For many others in Las Vegas, they will take a chance by making a date for a spouse.
The Viva Las Vegas wedding chapel plans to marry 120 couples Saturday starting with Egyptian-themed nuptials followed by weddings with a touch of Tom Jones, gangsters, Liberace and, of course, Elvis, said general manager Brian Mills. The number is on pace with July 7, 2007 (7/7/7) but far from the 230 weddings the chapel performed for November 11, 2011 (11/11/11).
Nevada's Clark County marriage license bureau issued its most 'numerically-interesting' certificates — 4,333 — in the four days leading up to July 7, 2007, — more than half of what it typically issues in an entire month..
November 11, 2011 brought in 3,300 new marriage licenses. Oct. 10, 2010 was close behind with 3,090. Expectations at the agency were high for Saturday.
Higher still, the 550-foot-tall High Roller observation wheel on the Las Vegas Strip had signed up about 80 couples so far for its free 12/13/14 ceremonies aboard the ride starting at 10:11 a.m. through 12:13 p.m.
Among them, Brandi Carrow, 37, who just three weeks prior eloped in Reno at the Chapel of the Bells.
This wedding is for her dad, Richard, who, wanting to see his daughter get married, convinced Carrow and her husband to do a re-do of sorts to renew their already fresh vows high above Las Vegas.
'We are so nervous,' said Carrow of the hub-bub of a wedding in front of the entire city, not to mention her father and step-mother.
Oh, and Carrow is also 'scared to death of heights.'
So which anniversary date will they celebrate?
Both, she said.
'Who gets married and then gets to go to Vegas and get the chance to re-do it,' she said, let alone on 12/13/14.

Clinic gets Mary to nephew’s wedding despite advanced cancer
Dr. Jacob Gelberg's way of relieving severe breathing problems from fluid build-up in patients with advanced cancer is in some ways helping them get through their bucket lists.
"We don't cure cancer," said Gelberg, who runs a specialized clinic at St. Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton.
"We help patients at the end of their journey to have a quality of life, control of their symptoms and to give them comfort and independence."
The Pleural Spaces Clinic also helps with "their so-called bucket list in that it gives them more time at home with family and friends, which is what most people want," he added.
At the clinic, staff insert small catheters in patients with advanced lung, breast, and ovary cancers, and lymphoma for less frequent and painful draining of built-up fluids some of them experience in the chest cavity.
The tunneled pleural catheter frees up patients from having to carry cumbersome bags collecting the fluid or from often having to spend about 10 days at a time in hospital to drain the fluids. With this catheter, the draining is done at home by visiting nurses.
Stoney Creek lung cancer patient Mary Wiebe, 82, appreciates that.
Her nephew's wedding in Winnipeg was on her bucket list. The pleural catheter works so well she and her husband flew out last month to attend it.
"Just being there was very special," she said. "And it really surprised people that we were able to make it, thanks to these folks (at the clinic)."
Wiebe is one of about 80 patients since the clinic opened in 2013 to get the pleural catheter. She was diagnosed with lung cancer on July 4 and has had the pleural catheter since July 30.

The built-up fluid around her lungs, which makes it very difficult to breathe, is drained three times a week at home by a visiting nurse.
"I have no change in my lifestyle" as a result, Wiebe said.
Her husband, Jack, 86, said his wife's pleural catheter has helped them spend more time at home together.
It takes about five minutes to drain the fluid, an accumulation of a half to a litre of fluid each time, Gelberg said. In 50 per cent of patients, the fluids dry up completely after using the pleura catheter, he said.
Patients used to have to be admitted to hospital to have a tube inserted to drain the fluid. "It was quite painful…"
Advanced cancer patients often have less than a year left to live so under the old way, "they'd have to spend significant time in the hospital, which they don't want. They want to be at home with their families."
The pleural catheter gives patients a sense of control over their lives, Gelberg said. "I had a patient who wanted to go for a bike ride with her partner and now was able to do it."
Its use also reduces hospital admissions and stays, making room to shorten wait times for other procedures, he said.
Similar pleural clinics exist in Toronto, Ottawa and Kitchener. The goal is to develop them across Ontario, Gelberg said.
