Newport wedding update

8 years ago

As promised, here is a recap of an amazing wedding weekend.

There was a casual casual clam/lobster bake on Saturday night for anyone who arrived the day before the wedding. It was fun and delicious- but crazy huge servings (this was my plate!)

The next morning my guy and I did the cliff walk. Six miles of gorgeous views.

Then onto a fabulous wedding dockside, surrounded by yachts. We danced the night away. My dress was perfect for the occasion (my hair got a little wind blown in this photo)


And no real wedding favors per se (although we did receive these at the clambake:

All in all, a magical wedding.

    My husband and I shared our first kiss on the Cliff Walk, twenty-five years ago. We were staying at Salve Regina (Ochre Lodge, I believe) for an architectural preservation program that summer. What an inspiring, beautiful place. Great memories. I love your dress, jojoco.

      You were next door to my DH's school! You look wonderful. You must be getting so excited for the next wedding on your calendar!

      Sounds like a great weekend. Your dress looks perfect. It's great that you get to "test" so many weddings before your big day.

      I love Newport. Rita, does your son go to Salve? My nephew graduated from there about 5 years ago. What a great place to go to school. DH and I often wonder why we went to school in the snowbelt of western PA.

      That is one busy wedding schedule. I haven't had that many weddings in a season since I was in my 20s. It sounds like a lot of fun.

      d_gw, DH went to St. George's.

      The dress is perfection! Looks like a Grand time. I haven't been to a good old lobster boil in a while.

      lol Rita, I don't how my brain looked at the letters DH and decided you were talking about your son :)

      You look great and what a beautiful setting.

      You look great and the dress is perfect.. That's enough food for a week. What a glamorous weekend.

      Ded, I picked the dress but the fashionistas here advised me on shoes (navy), a handbag (navy) and jewelry (none). I would have overloaded the outfit with pink had I been left to my own devices.

      Jo, you look mahvalous! What a beautiful setting too. Just love your dress.

      editd to add - I would have taken everything off the plate except the lobster and corn and gone to town on that! Yum!

      Outside, ditto what you said about the meal, but I ate the red potatoes too. :-)

    • 8 years ago

      I'd have eaten it all, and then wished I could wear a beautiful dress like yours! Very nice!

      jojoco thanked sheesh
