♥ Welcome!



Hello and welcome dear family, friends and loved ones to our
wedding blog. As you know from our save the dates,
our wedding is Friday, September 2, 2011.

Nicolas and I were engaged this past Easter at the Paragon Carousel 
on Nantasket Beach, a place that we have visited together and with
our friends over the past ten years. It was incredibly special
to begin a new chapter of our lives in a place that already
holds so much magical meaning to us. 

Carousel, 2001.

Although we have spent the better part of our young lives together, we are so excited to be getting married and planning this wedding together has already been such a blast! (when we are not arguing, that is!)

We wanted to find the best way to convey all of the information you will need for our wedding, so please bookmark this blog, and visit often as we spend the next year posting every little glimpse of amour. ♥
