We just got over our hangovers from the wedding and wanted to let you both know what a great time we had! The music, food, decorations, all were perfect...Spent most of the night dancing away to great music, eating fabulous food, and most importantly, having an awesome time with family and friends. We just got back from Florida and saw the pictures. Can't wait to see more. Love to you both!

For FERNCROFT Guests: We have arranged for a shuttle for guests from the Ferncroft hotel to the wedding venue (the Hellenic Center). The ceremony is outside behind the Hellenic center and will begin at 5:30pm (the reception will follow inside the Hellenic Center). The shuttle busses will leave the hotel at 4:30pm and at 4:45 pm. It will take approximately 25-30 minutes by bus. Directions will also be available at the hotel when you check in (you should receive a bag with this information). We are excited to see you there~!

From July 28-30 there are exciting things happening in Ipswich! Old Ipswich Days will be celebrated during the weekend of the wedding. There will be a craft fair and the shops will be running specials all week. In addition, just 20 minutes North on Rt 1A in Newburyport, Yankee Homecoming will start on July 29th.

So there is plenty to do if you want to explore the area. My recommendations for dining include: The Clam Box, Eddy's Restaurant and Zabaglione cafe in Ipswich.....a latte & icecream at Zumi's coffee shop is a must!!! In Essex (next to Ipswich)- Woodman's is a great spot for lobster and steamers and Perriwinkle's Restaurant is a great spot on the Essex river. If you are daring, stop at Wolf Hollow on Rt 133 in Ipswich, where a group of conservationists raise a pack of wolves - they have a unique lecture and demonstration on the lives of wolves. Enjoy!!!

Dear KaplanandEmsley et al, We hope to be going to the beach before we check in at the hotel. Any tips - from anyone reading this -on the best place to go w/in a reasonable driving distance? or what can be expected re. access to any beach on that weekend? Also Stephen must have Ipswich clams, so if you have a place to recommend, we'd appreciate it. Thanks from Vivi, third tree on the left, Tyringham, MA. kesey@berkshire.net

The website is okay, but it's no BarFrog.com, thats for sure. The Venue is alright, but I really would have chosen a more respectable place like The Kells or Foggy Goggle, or anything from BarFrog.com's list of Venues. Joking - you guys look great together, I'm very happy for you and I'm looking forward to the wedding, esp. if it has an open bar.
