Our Wedding

We met, literally, in a "Cloud." Our friendship first grew and blossomed around shared interests, such as hiking, skiing, cycling and kayaking. Gradually and effortlessly, love appeared and we came to realize how perfectly matched we were, both in our own past experiences and our shared eagerness for adventure. Our new relations greeted us with graciousness and, perhaps, some degree of wonderment. We suspect that some of them were astonished to hear of the several "audacious and vigorous" solo trips we took exploring the cities, mountains and cycle routes in Europe. Eventually we made plans to move in together, not without some trepidation; but all went smoothly and ever so naturally. On the other hand, our cats, Fate and Apollo, still have a few issues to work out! We have many plans for our future which we hope will extend for many years while we continue to enrich each other's lives. Finally, we give thanks for the support and acceptance that we have received from our new families. You may have noticed that we left the "Registry" section of this website unfilled. That was intentional. We're a mature and established couple and not in need of much. We are aware that many of you will have to travel significant distances to share this joyful day with us. We are so graftful for this and only look forward to your company. If you feel the need to bring something, we promise that a bottle of good wine would not be unappreciated or misused!

Providence, Rhode Island, is a fun and quirky destination in New England. Originally settled in 1636, Providence has always been different. Its founder was exiled by Puritans for his so-called “radical” ideology, so he decided to start his own city founded on his own principles. The citizens, too, delight in being unique. For example, many of them call downtown Providence “downcity” And did we mention beaches? There's a reason that Rhode Island is known as the ocean state with over 400 miles of coastline, charming coastal towns, excellent clam chowder and sandy beaches to sink your toes into. And remember, we have rooms set aside for you at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Attlebobro, Mass.!
