Matchy Match

The lovely T from London sent me her pictures from ACK!

KEP and TSK's web-site, Save the Dates and invitation's were all in white and navy little did i know the ties would be raspberry. So like always Music Guy and I matched! Gotta love it!

Wednesday 9.5.07

We arrived on Wednesday late afternoon to a beautiful house of course not before our Cab driver dropped MurDogs laptop on the ground, that was not sweet.


We got all settled in and A of Fave couple and I walked to Stop n Shop to pick up a few goodies for the house but mainly beach eats. The boys headed for a Miller Lite & Coors Light run. We got back and all sat outside talking about what a great few days we have a head of us. Mainly the Raw Bar party at the brides fathers house that evening.

One of many goodies were our Welcome Bags. I will have to post pictures of the gifts inside. They are to die for! Most of it is branded with their circle K! No one can top that!



Here is a great picture of the brides father's view of Sconset Beach and beyond. Oh and the raw bar. This house was breathtaking!

The Sconset Sunset

We left their and went to The Chicken Box, I was praying for a surprise guest to show up, but no luck! Maybe next time Jimmy!

Thursday 9.6.07

Today was a Town day.

Our house was only about a 10 minute walk to Main Street and we made the most being that close. A and B of fave couple and I walked into town to do some shopping. Music Guy met us a little bit later for lunch at The RopeWalk. We were lucky enough to score a table outside, that is the best way to do lunch there! A got a super cute Nantucket basket necklace charm, I'm now wishing I would have gotten one. Guess I'll have to go back soon!


We had a Kick-off BBQ at the mother of the brides house that evening so we spent the day in town and before we knew it, it was time to get ready!


Cute shot of A & B of Fave couple


Music Guy and Kimba. Not the best, but hey we're on vacation!

It was a great party, we got to meet some many new people and by this time all of our friends (sans J Leaster, J & G arriving Friday) were finally all on island. It was truly "kicked-off" the weekend! After the party we all (the "kids") headed to the Boarding House and took over their patio. At one point the bar broke into a dance party and after a song went back to normal, very strange!

**also this evening is where my fave vv pink fleece went missing, 4 years strong with that fleece**

Friday ACK 9.7.07

Friday seemed to be the only beach day it was warm and not as windy. A had some friends vacationing on the Island (with cars) so we tagged along with them to Nobadeer Beach. One of my favorite things about Nobadeer is that you can drive on the beach and they are pet friendly. It also is right by the airport so it gives you a little action. I also feel not many people pick Nobadeer as there are no lifeguard or no facilities which is not ideal if you're with kids.

I had to be back and ready by 5:30 so we had to pack up a little earlier then we all wanted to. But we got some good beach time in!

Becky and I met for a drink at the The Gazebo as both our guys were in the wedding party and we figured we'd meet up and be each others date! (The Gazebo also sells cigarettes for $9.00 a pack if anyone is interested)



Here is a picture of me with Becky and her boyfriend the Best Man Rufas at dinner



The Rehearsal Dinner was at Caption Tobey's in town. It was so much fun to have the true Nantucket feel. I only have this one picture for now.
It was a lobster theme complete with lobster suckers with their names attached!

After our Rehearsal festivities the plan was to meet the rest of the wedding goers at The RopeWalk which is my favorite bar on ACK! It was a blast!

On to the big day!

Wedding Day! 9.8.07

I only have a few pictures to show for the wedding day as most of them are people pictures, but you can see the fab detail!

Here are the handsome groomsmen...Coors Light and all! They were wearing Seersucker pants, navy blazers and a Raspberry vv crab tie! Which I am so happy Music Guy now owns!

Bridesmaid flowers

KEP's dress was very pretty! Eyelet, perfect for Nantucket

A view of the Bridesmaids walking down the beach like stairs to the cocktail hour

Cheers

The circle K was their wedding logo

Cocktail table with seersucker table clothes great centerpiece

Another look

Here is a view from the stairs, in front of the tent was a pool, sorry no one ended up swimming

Name cards in sand

In the shells on the table were candles

What would a post be without a picture of dinner: they had fillet, halibut with lobster sauce and a potato "pancake". It was delish!

Raspberry Wedding Cake

Of course a sparkler send off!

Many more details to come!

I'm back.....

I will send a recap of our ACK vaca this evening.

I was able to catch up with most of your blogs yesterday so I don't feel so out of the "loop"!

One quick funny story, Wednesday night at the Kick-off Clam Bake I ran into a girl (whom I do not know) that told me she reads my blog! Her husband told her to introduce herself, it was great! She called Music Guy "Music Guy" all weekend, he was a little freaked out at first but quickly was able to adapt! We're going to refer to her as "T", she is friends with the groom and lives in London, I do love my readers!

I am able to grab a quick lunch with All Things Sketchy, and I mean quick, but we have a few things to catch up on that just cannot wait.

Any thoughts on Britt at the VMA's last night, didn't think so it was again another train wreck courtesy of Ms. Spears.

One more wedding to go this coming Friday, it will be another fabulous affair!

Friends and beaches

I didn't end up going to the Cape this weekend. I had too much to get completed around the house and at work before we take off for our next wedding round. But of course I made the most of staying in the city!

I headed to visit my girl All Things Sketchy in Marblehead to check out her new digs. Sara and her man Ben just bought a wonderful new house and I was so happy to finally see it. Because of course when they're having their house warming party I can not attend, yes you guessed itI have a wedding.

We went to a bunch of little super cute shops and got a bunch of little super cute things. I got a pair of crystal starfish earrings which Sara said "is so Kimba" and she got a pair of silver starfish earrings to match her necklace. If you know her she loves starfish! It really is no wonder we get along so well! Our next stop was an accessory store that was having a 40% off summer sale, I got a bracelet that matches the earrings and necklace set we wore in J's wedding. And Sara got a pair of madras flip flops.
Our final stop was the best In The Pink. They were also having a 40% off sale on their summer items. I got two dresses and a clutch for the price of one and a half dresses. Both I will be wearing to the rehearsal dinner and wedding this weekend. The rehearsal dinner dress is from Day Lilly the Kinsey Dress Seersucker I am going to pair it with the jewelery I wore to J's wedding and strappy silver heels. They show it with gold in the picture but when I had it on silver dressed up the look. **Side note I prefaced in my last post I will still be wearing white, linen and seersucker this weekend, so no comments about it**
The next dress I will be wearing to the wedding is from Social Butterfly the Laurel Dress Solid in pink. The bamboo ring is gold so that calls for gold stud earrings and strappy gold heels. To top off both looks I got the Patio Clutch in parade pink.

After that it was time to go home! It was such a blast to see Sara outside of our once a week quick lunch! She's just wonderful!

Sunday morning Kateson and I went to Cranes Beach in Ipswich. It is her favorite beach and I can see why, every where you look was the most breath taking sights!

Monday was spent cleaning and packing and the evening ended with Music Guy and I having a "cookout" (just the two of us) with turkey burgers and a potato veggie bomb and watching the Sox!

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend and have a great week! I hope to check in from ACK along with a lot of great pictures!

Cheers!

What to do...

As some of you know we're heading to Nantucket on Wednesday. So that means it will be after Labor Day. I have convinced myself that even though it is after Labor Day I can still wear linen, seersucker and white. No if ands or buts, i'm doing it.

In other news, we're not leaving for the Cape until tomorrow. Being gone last week, having guest staying with us and leaving for 5 days it might be a good idea not to be sitting in Cape traffic after a day in the office.

Speaking of our trip to ACK, A and B from Fave Couple, the Lesters and the one and only Murdog rented a house and we can't wait! I got an email from the owner telling us they have beach chairs and a cooler on wheels, I love these people!!!

I hope you guys have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

And thank you so much for all of the VERY sweet comments, you guys are too much!

ACK wedding outfit

I was not able to find a picture of this dress in navy, but this is close enough!
Thanks to Sharp Lily I scored the gold chain bracelet from LuLus Fashion Lounge for $11.86 including shipping. You can too by using her 15% code "sharplily" until August 23

Last but not least the shoes, simple gold heels

I have a pair of gold stud earrings that will top the outfit off.

Hope to keep the dress wrinkle free on the Ferry ride over! We're renting a super fab house that is close to town and not to far from the beach. I have so much going on before then I can't get myself all excitied, but it's hard not to!
