And From the Ballroom Floor, We are in Celebration

Michael was able to visit Cape Cod last summer, around the same time we're getting married, which has given us an idea about what to expect. I thought I'd share some of his pictures so you could get a better picture in your head. It is very green that time of year. We're going to exchange our marriage vows in the garden. It's a small space, but it will be intimate and beautiful, surrounded by flowers. The ceremony will be in the morning at 10:30, and won't last too long.

Either before the ceremony or right after it, we will take some pictures at the beach with the wedding party. Either way, I suspect it will be the place to be after the ceremony. It's a beautiful beach accessed by a long boardwalk that extends over a salt marsh. Michael's favorite Cape Cod Beach, Skaket Beach, is also only 40 minutes away.

This time is really yours to take a nap, find a restaurant in town, play a round of golf, or do whatever you'd like to do for a few hours. There's enough time to go to Boston or to Provincetown at the tip of the cape. We'll be posting ideas every so often on the blog, and we will probably make sure there are car pool groups going to the best places.

That evening at 6:30 we'll all meet back at the Dan'l Webster Inn. We've reserved the conservatory for a full course, sit-down dinner. You will have your choice of entrees:

Chicken Oscar - boneless breast, sautéed, topped with lobster, spinach and béarnaise sauce
or
Grilled Swordfish Tuscano - with olives, garlic, basil, artichoke hearts, and tomatoes

There will also be a vegetarian option, and the kitchen is very accommodating, so please let us know if you have dietary needs/requests.

Dinner will be part of a reception with music, cake, and lots of dancing! We are so excited, and we want everyone to have a good time.

We look forward to seeing you all in June!
