The countdown and the details

Officially 12 days left on the calendar now. As we get closer, and you all may be making some travel plans, I thought we would put in a post with some details that might be helpful along the way.

I've mentioned it before, but another plug for our wedding map may be in order. We put our favorite sites in Plymouth on this interactive map. Just click on the link and you'll have all kinds of options for your visit. Amy and Rob's Map of Plymouth

If you want Boston options in addition to Plymouth, give me a holler. Of course there are a million things to do in town, so I can tailor according to your specific cravings for, I dunno, Thoreauvian vistas and chocolate mice.

In case you haven't memorized all details already, the day goes something like this:

Allow plenty of time to drive to Plymouth. It's an hour with NO traffic from Boston, and Saturdays are big traffic days on Route 3 South. If you arrive early, you can swing by and say hello to Plymouth Rock (see above map).

Please park yours car at the Plymouth Yacht Club. There is plenty of space there, and it will save you the aggravation of trying to find street parking in the town during a busy summer weekend.

Then you just walk two blocks away from the ocean toward the garden in the center of town for the ceremony! If it is raining, we will be holding the ceremony at the Yacht Club instead.

4:00 PM -- Ceremony outdoors at Brewster Garden near the women's fountain. There will not be chairs as they aren't allowed by the park, so we will keep it short and sweet. We will be standing in grass so high heels are probably not your best option. Don't forget sun protection!

4:30-5:30 -- While we are doing photos, you all can walk back down to the Yacht Club for the cocktail hour. This will be open bar with appetizers and a lovely ocean view right on the water! The open bar will end after the cocktail hour, and a cash bar will be available after that. Champagne will be provided for toasts.

The reception will go from 5:30-9:30ish. Come prepared for dancing, eating, and lots of celebrating. The Yacht Club is air conditioned, thank goodness -- we're having a heat wave this week!

We can't wait to see you all next week! Please just give a holler if you have any questions.
