Welcome!  We can't wait to see you, and celebrate with you!!  As you make plans for the weekend, we wanted to share a few logistics as well some stuff to do while you are here.

Below are three sections:  1) What to wear; 2) Maps, Parking, and Carpooling suggestions; and 3) Suggested stuff to do for out of towners. Have a look and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to either one of us by text/phone (bjk: 802 324-9148 or njc: 802 458-5650) or via our shared email ([email protected]).

p.s. we'll keep using this web-page for any updates, so keep it handy!

"The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of [their] solitude, and thus, they show each other the greatest possible trust." ~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

What to wear?

Several guests have asked about the dress code for the wedding. Silly us- we should have mentioned it sooner. What to call it? Casual Elegant?
It's a special occasion so be as elegant as you want, and be comfortable. You'll see some suits and fancy dresses but a few hawaiian shirts, too. Be ready to dance! 
The groom is NOT wearing a tie, even if you are. And, keep in mind the ceremony will be outside, rain or shine, so bring a coat and umbrella should the rain gods decide to visit.  

Map, Parking, and Carpooling (suggested) for Ceremony and Reception

Picture

Ceremony 4:30 pm
(Carpooling recommended from the Senior Center parking options, see explanation under Reception)

Charlotte Town Beach
1371 Lake Rd
Charlotte, VT 05445
There is parking here for a limited amount of cars.

The lake is high so we'll be up on a lawn over-looking the water. Please note, we'll be gathered around standing and the ground is a bit uneven.  Feel free to bring a chair if needed, or even a beach blanket.

Reception immediately following

Charlotte Senior Center
212 Ferry Road
Charlotte, VT 05445
There is parking at the Senior Center for a limited amount of cars.  Across the street is the Charlotte Town Hall and Library where there is ample parking. 

​We recommend using the Town Hall and Library parking for your car ahead of the ceremony and carpooling to the ceremony, if possible. If you have room in your car, please let us know and we'll match you up!

Out of Town Guests

Things to do There is much to see and do in late September around Charlotte.  If you are looking for things to do check out Shelburne Orchards for apple picking and Shelburne Farms for a stunning walk replete with farmyard, gardens, lakefront, and miles of trails. Saturday morning there is also the Shelburne Farmers Market, which is one of the best in the state. For the adventurous a hike up Mt Philo will provide stunning views for very little pain. We live on Mt Philo road about a half mile away, so let us know if you are headed over! The Shelburne Market has provisions and The Red Onion is a nice deli on Rte 7 in Charlotte.  And, there is always the upscale Philo Ridge Farm for lunch just down road from our house as well.  There is also the fun of Burlington and their waterfront!  
Friday eve We are not having a formal rehearsal dinner.  That said, we will be setting up for the reception at the Senior Center Friday evening after 6 pm with family and a few locals. If you are around and want to drop in to say hi we'll have pizza and snacks on hand. Please let us know you are coming by filling out the form at the link below so we are sure to order enough pizza.  We'll be putting in an order with Folinos by Thursday 9/20 in the afternoon.    

Friday Eve Pizza RSVP
