It is Sunday morning in New Hampshire. The blustery wind of the dying days of winter is making one last call as I sit in my hotel room typing this. There is silence, as even TLW (The Little Woman) sits on the couch deep into her own laptop. In the next room, TLC (The Lovely Courtney) is quietly packing for her flight home to California and #1 Son.
The quietness in the room is only a loud comment of a short week well spent, planning for a wedding to come in July. Meeting the different people that run businesses in the town of York is an eye-opener. It seems that everyone knows each other, and because they do one gets a sense that things will go over smoothly. Praise rings out from one vendor about another, and assurances seem to flow like a babbling brook.
Small communities of business people, people like you and me who work all their lives but take pride in what they do seem to be everywhere! They are very accommodating, punctuating your request with their enthusiasm. TLC described her plans in detail, with swatches of colors and preconceived out of the box thinking, thinking which I feel everyone will enjoy attending the wedding.
TLC has imparted her enthusiasm into TLW (The Little Woman) and myself, and we see first hand some interesting and creative thinking. #1 Son has had a part in the planning and the conceptualizing, and this will not be an ordinary wedding day on July 3rd. The theme is based on the popular series Mad Men, and there will be a lot of nostalgia, charm and originality expressed.
The wedding reception will be at the York Harbor Inn, and as will the rehearsal dinner for the wedding party and their spouses. TLW and I will host the later, and get a chance to thank all the wonderful people that will be in that wedding party for so honoring the soon to be newly weds.
And so we wrap it up, joyfully knowing that #1 Son is getting a great gal, with a great sense of style and humor!
