Hannah and Todd! ♥♥♥

October 2, 2010

I am happy to report that my camera cord arrived in the mail this afternoon. This now means that I can post pictures about many different events that have occurred over the weeks since my old camera cord decided to go MIA on me. Yes, yes, many different events but MOST IMPORTANTLY….

Hannah and Todd’s WEDDING!!!!

What a celebration! What a ceremony!

This wedding was soooooo special. I truly believe it to be THE MOST touching wedding I have ever been to. I think in part it’s because Hannah and Todd have have such a history (10 years!), but mostly it’s just because Hannah and Todd are awesome people aaaand I simply just love their love.

Love it. Love it. Looove it.

Here are some of my favorite pics from the weekend in Maine…

The night of the rehearsal was super fun! We had drinks and dinner at a delicious restaurant in Yarmouth, ME. Also, this was the night of my birthday– and they surprised me with a cake!

The morning of the Big Day we went over to the site of the reception, which was held at a really cool old warehouse!! The room that the dinner and dancing took place in was so gorgeous, with exposed brick walls and windows looking out onto the harbor. Hannah did much of the planning herself, so the bridesmaids spent the morning putting all the details together and making the place look spectacular!

I love this picture from the night Todd proposed to Hannah!

Glad to have been there– it was glorious!

All set and ready to go!

Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures from the ceremony, because I was IN it, but it was so unique. SO personable and emotional. I had the happiest feeling inside the whole time.

There was a poem by e.e. cummings–

I carry your heart with me,

I carry it in my heart.

A heartfelt story about Hannah and Todd’s journey together.

And Hannah and Todd’s friend Maya played the piano, while another friend sang “You and Me” by the Dave Matthews Band (!).

They wrote their vows together and throughout the whole ceremony there were happy tears all around.

The ceremony was just SO “Hannah and Todd”. That’s the best way to describe it.

From the ceremony and pictures we headed to the party in style and the celebration began!… and a true celebration it was. Brickhouse girls were together again and the dancing and singing was out of control.

What a terrific day!

CONGRATS HANNAH AND TODD!!

Party Bus!

July 8, 2010

I am still trying to wrap my head around last saturday night. WHAT a blast– A wonderfully fun time celebrating our lovely friend Hannah Montgomery (soon to be Magee!).

This much I know is true:

I took 225 pictures (for serious).

I ate AMAZING lobster bisque for dinner.

I was in the company of 8 super ladies from Maine (and one seriously fabulous chick from NY).

AND I sang karaoke to Michael Jackson on a party bus.

Here are [a few] pics to recap the event:

I love this one of Hannah and her mom…

the ladies after the bridal shower lunch…

Ferry to Peaks Island:

(YUM.)

pleasantly full and ready for…

the PARTY BUS!

(I am censoring photos here due to inappropriate “bachelorette” paraphernalia. My grammy reads this.)

We brought Han down memory lane on a very clever scavenger hunt through Maine and Yarmouth, with stops including Hobart Rd:

The next road bares the name of a place some call Camp…

Dunking balls into solo cups made you the Beruit champ.

You drank rum and coke and sang to “Josie” many nights,

danced at the Holiday and threw back red light/green lights.

This place brought you across the world and to a house made of bricks…

And it all started with some lil’ friends and a SWEET pair of kicks.

and finally ending at RiRa’s

Now on to our last stop on this game,

To a place where your friends and family came.

To celebrate you and the love of your life,

The place where Todd asked you to be his wife.

So glad I was there to celebrate!!

Love you, Han… Can’t wait for September!

Worth a visit, worth a lifetime.

July 2, 2010

I’m off to Maine to celebrate Hannah’s bridal shower and have some bachelorette FUN.

And that’s all I can say about it for the moment because it’s a secret!

(and I know Han reads my blog)

Shhhh. My lips are sealed.

Have a great long weekend!

Enjoy the 4th and happy fireworks!

A weekend with the Delta Chi guys…

June 23, 2010

I’m back!! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to writing. We had a crazy college reminiscent weekend at Nick and Cait’s wedding back at HWS and it was AWESOME. I honestly think it took me until this morning to fully recover. I had that much fun. But I’m back to normal now and it feels so good.

The Groom was one of Zan’s fraternity brothers, so all of his pledge class came back for the event. I wasn’t friends with most of these guys in college, but after this weekend I wish I was. They are a really great group and I found myself laughing almost the entire time. One for the memory books. Good times, good times.

We went on a wine tour…
