Our Wedding Day

On Tuesday morning, June 15, 2010, we dressed in our kilts and traveled to the Old Quaker Meeting House in Adams, Massachusetts.

The Meeting House was active from 1782 to 1842. Among its members was Susan B. Anthony, who was born in the area and who worshipped there as a child.

The kind folks at the Adams Historical Society opened the doors for us. The Meeting House is no longer an active meeting but opens for visitors during regular hours in the summer and by appointment . We are grateful to them for letting us have our own private meeting for worship on this occasion.

In the presence of the Light, we said our vows and became man and wife at exactly twelve o'clock noon.

After we signed the guest book in the meeting house, we drove to the top of Mt. Greylock for lunch. Mt. Greylock is on the Appalacian Trail. So yeah, it's true. We started our honeymoon by hiking the Appalacian Trail.

The pensive look on my face is me trying to keep my kilt from flying up. It was really windy up there.

The following day, we drive to Mohonk Mountain House. The resort was founded by Quakers and E's grandfather was the house doctor at the resort during the summer in the forties. It holds a very special place in our hearts.

We walk through the magnificent grounds and surrounding mountains and forest before chaninging for dinner.

Our finery is well-received in the dining room.

On Thursday, on our way to the Boston airport for the trip home, we have dinner with Verne and Kiki Henderson in Brookline. Verne was a classmate of E's mother at Olney Friends School in Barnesville, Ohio. The conversation and the wine are both delightful. As Verne is an ordained minister and he signs our marriage certificate to make things absolutely legal.
