Let’s start at the very beginning!  How did you meet?

We met at our friend Laura Sullivan’s annual Epiphany/Yankee Swap party.

Pat and Sherry did their usual superb job with the florals…

It WAS beautiful light!

no matter which direction you looked!

I always appreciate being able to get angles from all over with outdoor weddings.

What was your favorite moment of the day?

All of it!  Particularly special moments included our ceremony (we LOVED having all of our friends read and loved the messages from our dear friend Mary Faith’s sermon), our first dance together, and, at the end of the evening, our final dance to “Viva La Vida” where we danced in the middle and all of our friends danced around us…it was magical!

I loved the fans the couple thoughtfully provided for their guests and made use of one later on in the day…

and now back to the happy pair… aww…

with a break for dinner – Clifton, as always, provided just right fare.  Elegant but not too fussy and as always delicious!

(ps in case you didn’t know, they are also open for meals during the week and it’s well worth the trip – I love that you can select two or three of whatever you want from the menu – maybe two appetizers and a dessert, or two mains if you’re especially hungry – very cool!)

Then, it was time to get that party started and DJ Tobler rocked the tent!

and Heather and David got in several magical moments!

What was your favorite detail of the day?

We really did love it all…from the food (the scallops!) to the flowers (we both love hydrangeas) to the music (who doesn’t have fun dancing to 80’s and 90’s music?!)

What’s next for you both?

We’re going to enjoy the peacefulness of August and then head to Martha’s Vineyard for Labor Day.
