Spring in Plymouth

We spent the afternoon yesterday in Plymouth doing weddingish errands and had a good time mapping things out a bit more. It is an easy town to navigate and on this blustery March day, we wandered around getting things done as well as finding more great things for you, dear wedding guests, to do during your visit.

We revisited the Plymouth Yacht Club for the first time since our initial viewing. It was as beautiful of a spot as we had remembered. Simple and quiet and right on the water. The picture above is us standing on the deck area where the cocktail hour will take place. Cold and windy but happy! Look at that view behind us!

It was an exciting day in the world of wedding planning. The level of detail and the number of banal decisions you must make to prepare for an event like this is truly staggering. I met my hairdresser in South Plymouth (she was great). I did NOT meet the make-up artist who blew off our appointment (not great, she's fired). I picked out linen colors. We mapped out where the heck to stand in the park. Where to put signs? Where to put the guestbook? Don't get me wrong. I really am having a great time planning this event with Rob. I just sometimes don't quite recognize myself when I just stymied about which shade of blue to use for napkins. Yikes.

We had a great meal that evening at 14 Union, a restaurant very close to the Yacht Club and right on the water with the requisite stunnning view. They had a great deal of 3 courses for $13 which they say will be in effect all year long, every day. It's definitely a hidden gem -- a little hard to find but the locals sure know about it. Here is a really good comprehensive list of restaurants from which to choose. It is always a lot of fun to spend the day in Plymouth and we really hope you'll feel the same.
