Wedding/Honeymoon pictures

Marisa and I got married a couple of months ago and I haven’t put up any pictures! We took a bunch both at the wedding itself and during our honeymoon. I’ve collected some of the pics I like best in this post, but if you want to see them all they are on Flickr:

Here are the ones that I thought I would highlight on the blog:

The Wedding

First, we’ll start with the wedding pictures. Most of these were taken by our good friend, and great photographer, Albert Yee (I’ll point out which ones weren’t!).

Marisa snaps a pic of me

This first picture was taken by yours truly. Marisa thought that perhaps she would have enough time to take her own wedding pictures.

Some random dogs showed up

While Marisa and I were exchanging vows I thought I saw a random dog walk past. But I knew that no one had brought a dog with them. Turns out the neighbor’s dogs stopped by to wish us well (this pic was snapped by David Kirpan).

Ah, the pro pictures begin!

Marisa has a very large family.

I don’t. Behind me are my brother and mother. Behind Marisa are her parents and her sister.

Raina played a song before we said our vows.

About to take the plunge.

Different people. Different shoes.

Kissing! In public! Shocking.

Hands, touching hands

My good friend David Kirpan manned my camera during the ceremony and managed to get this picture. Good job, Dave!

Marisa, being Marisa, made all of our wedding cakes herself. Here you see a destroyed flourless chocolate cake (which we made on Fork You once, video and recipe here).

My relatives made the trek out to Philadelphia to attend (ain’t they nice!).

The Honeymoon

Bennington Pottery sign

The whole honeymoon plan was founded on visiting Bennington Potters (for Marisa), and so that was our first stop.

The Goodwill Store

Marisa also loves thrift stores, so we had to go here.

Another moose

All around Bennington they had these painted Moose. This one is the covered bridge moose which features a picture of the bed & breakfast we stayed at painted on its flank (I thought that was pretty cool).

No Service

My iPhone (and Blackberry and wireless data card) got no service for most of the trip, which was actually quite nice.

Steeple

A nice steeple. I just like the way this picture came out.

The Inn

The first place we stayed at in Vermont was the Inn On Covered Bridge Green, which was just lovely. Norman Rockwell used to own this house… though we didn’t actually stay in the house proper. There is a little honeymoon cottage in the back (which used to be called the ‘corn crib’) that we stayed in. I’m certain that Marisa and I will be back to this place again.

Postcard material

This is what was painted on that moose.

Brownies

We left Vermont and went to Lake Placid, New York and stayed at the White Face Lodge, which was very nice indeed. They had brownies waiting for us in our room. You can’t beat that!

Lake Placid

I thought this was a picture of Lake Placid, but I’m pretty sure it is actually Lake Mirror… either way it is pretty.

Free bubbly

Since I booked the Honeymoon package we also received some free champagne. It was pretty good.

Marisa with an armful of jars

Of course Marisa bought some jars.

Flag and cannon

And I demanded we visit some historical sites! This is Fort Ticonderoga.

We're cute!

Us being cute.

I assume this is Hurbert

A cannon.

Can you find Marisa?

The Kings Garden which is right next to the Fort. We actually happened to visit when some sort of farmers’ market was going on so we managed to buy some vegetables.

Stickers

We also hit the Billings Farm & Museum which is neat (and I only heard about it because I was listening in on someone else’s conversation at the Vermont Country Store).

Moo

This was outside of some tourist trap that we ventured into (and where we bought some rare Cabot cheeses that aren’t available in these parts).

The Egg

The Egg in Albany, NY. Since we were driving through Albany I thought it would be fun to take the Capitol Building tour.

Library

The Library in the New York State Capitol.

Lights on the Airstream

A string of lights on our Airstream trailer.

North to Alaska

We stayed in an airstream (the one pictured above) at Kate’s Lazy Meadow, which is surrounded by beauty. Marisa and I were both glad we only booked one night, however, since the trailer was tiny!

I thought this was a cool picture.

The Married Couple!

And there we are being cute again!
