Maine Squeeze: More preparations

10 February 2011

First, contrary to last week’s post, I realized that I do have a few photos from our first few days on-Island!

So, here’s some of our stuff on the ferry ride:

Here we are loading things into the truck (John is looking mighty intense):

Here my Dad and I are working on signs (Dad modeling his working shoes, grandma doing the heavy looking-on):

Feel more in the loop now? :)

On Sunday morning, Kim, Kate, and Cormac arrived. Yay! The gang was finally all together! The next few days were mostly just spent enjoying each others’ company — playing tennis, taking walks, eating on the deck, jumping off the dock, picking berries, playing cards, going out in the boats. Pretty much perfect. We did, however, tackle a few wedding-related tasks in between leisure activities.

On Sunday, we decided on the perfect spot for the ceremony:


Caption: Should we have the vows in this stunning waterfront location, or this one?

On Tuesday, we took the boat into town for Kate’s hair trial:

Cormac’s family also arrived on Tuesday, so we all had dinner together at our cottage:

On Wednesday, we assembled welcome bags for guests:

We included a map hand-drawn by my best friend, granola bars, water bottles, pretzels, salt water taffy, driving directions, and an itinerary for the weekend. Kim was our official bow-snipper.

Wednesday night we headed to Five Islands for lobster:

And returned in the early evening.

That’s all for today! Up next: we raise the tent, and hang lots of bunting!

All photos are personal, except for the two middle welcome bag photos, which were taken by Meredith and Jenna.

Is your boat a Boston Whaler? We have a 1980 BW that sits 6….it's such a fun boat :)

Yes! We actually have two Boston Whalers, one bigger than the other. They ARE so fun, and even I can drive and dock them! :)

This looks lovely! So fun and summery. Very jealous of that boat. Love the stripey ribbon on the gift bags too!
