Back from Doylestown

Well, after driving nearly 500 miles in one day, I’m home again. The drive wasn’t too bad as we were able to take the turnpike almost the entire trip in. We passed the time by turning on our brand new portable DVD player and watching (well, I listened and drove, my assistant, Sharon, watched) a few movies. Still in the Halloween spirit, we watched Friday the 13th Part 2, Halloween 2, Joy Ride and Cabin Fever. I was amazed at how much that nicer that made the drive.

Yesterdays’ wedding was in the charming town of Doylestown, PA, which is just outside of Philadelphia. Megan and Kriston were married at Aldie Mansion, a gorgeous English Tudor manor built in 1927. After chatting with the coordinator, I learned that they sometimes hold as many as 5 weddings a weekend at the Mansion and after seeing how beautiful and scenic it is, I can see why it’s in such heavy demand.

Kriston and his family are from Canada and their Northern charm was contagious. The speeches given during the reception were some of the funniest and most entertaining that I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing at a wedding. It was such a fun day and well worth the 500 mile drive. Although, I don’t think I’ll be doing it again any time soon.

Check out a few of my favorite photos from Kriston & Megan’s wedding.

This afternoon, I met Brad & Danielle, a great, young couple who are getting married in June of 2007. They were referred to me by Mindy & Sean (another 2007 couple, check out their e-pics from October 22) and I had been trading emails with Danielle for a few weeks. After meeting, they decided to book me for their wedding and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Danielle and Brad’s wedding should be especially interesting because they’re tying the knot on Pittsburgh’s famed Gateway Clipper. As long as I don’t get “sea sick”, that should be a fun, new experience!
