Interlaken in June

Kate here -
With 35 days to go I took a ride out to Lakeville and Millerton, NY to take care of a few wedding details today and decided to take a walk across the street from the Inn to walk the road down to the lake.
There was also a wedding scheduled for late this afternoon so I was able to walk down to the lake around 11:30am and take pictures of the ceremony set up.  It was so beautiful with the trees and flowers in bloom, I think everyone is really going to love the location.

The picture to the left is the start of the drive to the lake, the sign says Private - Interlaken Guests Only (that means you).







For the ceremony itself everyone needs to park across at the Inn and walk down the paved drive to the lake.  It is a shaded walk under huge trees, just note that it's about a 7 minute walk or so from the Inn to the lake; so ladies, if you'd like to wear flats, or bring shoes to swap out - that might be a good idea - just in case.





The Inn just received their new outdoor ceremony chairs and I was able to check those out too.

They are very sturdy and have a small padded seat - hopefully they'll be comfy enough for the half hour or so we'll be using them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.  And that the weather holds out, but there's nothing we can do about that.

Also, the ceremony will be after the heat of the day and everyone has told me that there should be a breeze from the lake, I'm hoping for the best.
I actually think I'd rather have it rain and be cool instead of sunny but wicked hot, ya know?  High heat and humidity is just gross, and who can have fun wearing a dress and make-up in the sun?  I hate sweating.  A lot.  Like, the most.  Yuck.
So - moving on.

Who is #24 - MARRIED?

Sunday was the bachelor party and it was quite a collection of guys. Some from work, some friends, some family, but all a combination. Everyone had a good time and got along, but best of all the Mets won! We sat in the 5th and 6th rows behind first base and had a great angle to watch a come from behind win. Adam set it up so I was the participant on "Mets Make a Deal" with his friend Michelle and I won a autographed Jeff Francoeur ball! On top of that when I returned from a bathroom break there was a new,  "personalized", Mets jersey waiting for me in my seat! After the game the rain came, but it held off for us, and we slowly made our way to Peter Luger Steakhouse for dinner. Wow, that was some good steak. We devoured steak for 6 with a few sides and some drinks, then endeavored into "schlag" territory. Several desserts were shared; an ice cream sundae, cheesecake, key lime pie, and another ice cream sundae. There were also a few Mets fans who inquired into whose jersey I was wearing - "Who is MARRIED?". I explained and everyone thought it was real cleaver, including me! We all went home full and sun-tanned and will get together again, with many others, in about a month.

Lesson of the day: Make sure the car you are behind in traffic isn't actually a parked car.

I had a really great time, and although some weren't able to make it, I really enjoyed having important people from all the parts of my life come together (and root for the Mets). Thank you.

Side Note:

Make sure on June 19th you are rooting for Kevin when he runs in the Mayor's Marathon in Anchorage Alaska!
