Over Labor Day weekend we had the pleasure of celebrating the wedding of two very dear friends, John and Kelly. Craig has been friends with John since the sixth grade. They went through middle school, high school and college together. They were college roommates at Lehigh their freshman and sophomore year. John and Kelly met at Lehigh, so we had the opportunity to get to know Kelly over the past few years. They are a wonderful couple and we couldn't be happier for them!
Kelly is from Rhode Island, so they decided to have the wedding in New England in the beautiful seaside town of Cohasset. Craig was the best man in the wedding, so we were able to participate in all the pre-wedding festivities which included a two hour sailboat ride (unfortunately no pictures) and the rehearsal dinner.
It was such a fun weekend celebrating with friends and family!

After the wedding festivities we had a few hours to spare on Monday before heading to the airport, so we made a quick trip into downtown Boston to see the sites and eat some fresh seafood! I'm deprived living in a landlocked state!
We visited the history Quincy Market and enjoyed six different types of cookies from The Boston Chipyard- delicious!
Enjoyed some delicious chowder, fresh oysters and shrimp at the Union Oyster House. A great recommendation from our friend Murphy, a Boston native that lives in CO.
It was great to be back on the east coast for a few days and spend time with friends we haven't seen in years and Craig's parents. I could've done without the crazy humidity, so it was a welcome relief to come back to the dry heat of Colorado.
Best wishes to John and Kelly!
Oh my goodness, John and Kelly's Wedding Weekend looks adorable. The couple is looking so charming in these pictures. My sister is engaged and they will tie the knot soon at some local LA event venues and I am sure that they will also have such a successful wedding ceremony.
