Wedding #2 - St. Clements Church in Portland, Connecticut

This weekend, Annie and I took a nice road trip up to Portland, Connecticut to attend a wedding of one of her college friends.  Before I continue, by 10PM tonight, I need to find out what CT is known for, besides rich people, of course.  Moving on, we left Maple Shade, NJ at around 12PM on Saturday, and contrary to this author's popular belief, mainly due to the multitude of emergency vehicles, accidents, and high volume of traffic, that zombies were finally taking over, we made it to our Quality Inn hotel at 4:30PM, cleaned up and headed out at 5:30PM, and arrived at St. Clements Church for the wedding.  Holy run-on sentence...let's clarify a bit...Skip the following paragraph to continue with the flow of the story.

We left Maple Shade, NJ at around 12PM on Saturday.  I was thoroughly convinced that zombies were finally attacking.  This is because we saw plenty of flashing lights, emergency vehicles, and knuckleheads trying to head down the shore...via the Garden State Parkway...on Saturday...in August...on a gorgeous, balmy 85 degree day...and unsurprisingly,  they get caught in traffic.  We got to our hotel, showered up, left the hotel, and arrived at the church in about an hour.

Annie and her core group of choir and singing group friends are sensational women.  They're all driven and passionate in their goals, and I'm lucky to get to know a different side of Annie via her college friends!  I tried my best to not schmuck it up, but maaaan when that music came on, I gave up and had a blast!  I feel like I made a decent impression on them, not that I was nervous about screwing up, but I'm glad the gathering went well for all involved!  

Congratulations to Rachel and Ryan, the bride and groom!!
