Keep Calm and Carry On

Another adventurous and busy weekend in lovely Massachusetts! This was a quick one day/night trip for me to help Rick with a few wedding details. A massive storm system caused flights to be cancelled and delayed from Canada to Florida. My return flight was delayed 2 hours (does not include time sitting on the tarmac at Logan and Dulles). Nothing anyone can do about the weather though.

 I don't handle delays well, but at least this was weather and not a baggage handler bumping into and breaking off a pitot tube.

If you plan to stay overnight, which we encourage, and have not made reservations at a local hotel yet, check out the "Where You Can Stay" section of the blog. There are some nice hotels within walking distance of the Ashworth. The Ashworth has a block of rooms for our guests as well.


For those of you that have already made reservations, please send me or Rick the name of the hotel, address, and name that your room is booked under.

Also, we have decided to host a post wedding breakfast.  Would love to have you join us if you can.  We do need a headcount, so let us know if you plan to attend.

 They should add "karaoke" to the sign.

I brought my dress, shoes, and accessories up this weekend. This is the new dress. I have added an aqua-ish sash around the waist and have decided that my shoes should match the sash. This is a lousy picture:



 Awkward dress posing.

The bodice has very pretty beading that gives the dress some sparkle without being overly fussy. It was a bit long on me, so Rick is taking it to a local tailor to have it hemmed.

I will be up again this coming weekend to do the hair and makeup run through with the Soho Salon in Rye. We also plan to drop off my shoes to have them dyed while we're there.

We still need to find a barber for Rick. Anybody know of a place near Hampton Beach where a guy can get an old fashioned shave? That's going to be a tough one. There is a place in Concord, MA, but that's not practical.


I think we're both feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. It's amazing how all these little details add up to so much to do. I can't believe we're just a little over a month away from the big day either.

As always, please don't hesitate to contact either one of us if you have any questions and be sure to let one of us know the details on where you're staying.

EDIT:  Anybody else feel that earthquake today?  The epicenter was about 60 miles away from where I live.  Made my afternoon meeting far more interesting.
