This past weekend, my husband and I were invited to three weddings on two days. With two on the same day in different states, we each had to skip one of the weddings. We reunited on Sunday for the third and final wedding.
On Friday I traveled to Maryland to be a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding. After a successful rehearsal at the church, we made our way to the rehearsal dinner at Kelsey’s Restaurant to unwind and reconnect. The food was excellent, and we all enjoyed watching a slideshow the bride and groom made with images of them as children, as a couple and with members of the wedding party. On Saturday the bridesmaids were up bright and early for hair and makeup. We then went to the church for a beautiful ceremony. After taking wedding party photos, we were ready to party! The reception took place at Historic Savage Mill. We had a blast dancing and toasting the bride and groom.
My husband sent me photos from his cousin’s wedding in New Jersey, and I sent him photos from my friend’s. We felt more connected seeing the weddings we each missed.
I left Maryland early on Sunday to head to my house in New Jersey before going to our final wedding of the weekend on Long Island. My husband and I packed the car, braved the New York traffic and made it to our hotel with time to spare. We drove to the venue with my parents for my cousin’s wedding at The Crescent Beach Club. Thankfully, the weather was beautiful, and the ceremony took place on the beach with the sunset as the backdrop. His wedding was rescheduled from last July due to COVID-19. Everyone was happy to be there to celebrate in person.
All three weddings were each so beautiful. It was disappointing we couldn’t both attend all three, though we had to do what we could given the circumstances. I was happy we were able to celebrate three incredible couples during the whirlwind weekend.

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
