Kirsten & Graham's Wedding York, PA

Kirsten Baumgartner & Graham Stetler, became Mr. & Mrs Stetler on Sat June 2nd 2007.Baha and I drove to York, PA to share in their special day.

This is a 7 hours drive with no traffic. Baha was awesome and did most of the driving. In fact he drove all the way down and most of the way back.

We rented a Mazda 3 from Zipcar for this road trip, thinking they pay for the gad and there is no mileage limit. At $72 a day for the car and gas prices they way they are, we thought excellent idea! Things that sounds to good to be true usually are, come to find out, there is a mileage limit, 125 miles a day and we went over the limit by more than 700 miles! Zipcar said ChaChing! WE said !@#@$%##$%$#%@#!@#! You know what they say, live and learn, this one was an expense lesson to learn. Sigh, now we know.
But other than that, the road trip and wedding were fun!Actually the wedding was beautiful. It took place in Graham's family home in York, in the back yard and the weather took pitty on them and didn't rain! I imagine Graham swinging on this swing as a little boy in this back yard and now he is getting married in it.








Eric and Gail also made the trip down to the wedding from NH.Here are some photos from the wedding. The ceremony wasn't too long or religious, though it was very steamy out and we were all swimming in our own sweat. The food was excellent, music good, people nice, cake awesome and their was an open bar, what else needs to be said.
Ah Yes, Kirsten was Beautiful!
I love that Graham's dad wore sandals with his suit. Why not, his son's wedding, his house, he can do what he wants!
Kirsten's mom and close family friend.

Now on the trip home, being daylight, I decided to take some photos from the car. This is some of the things you will see between New Cumberland, PA and Boston, MA:
Farms, what a surprise, scary old, empty, Bates type motels.








And towers, lots of them and all kinds.












These must be a couple of the cars from the car show that was in York, PA also that weekend and why Kirsten had to arrange for hotels for wedding guest in New Cumberland instead of York, because the hotels were already books for the car show. Worked out for the guest though, because they provided a charter bus for the guest to and from the wedding because they were far way, with and open bar this is very good. I know Baha was piss drunk! ;)

That yellow smokestack is in Hartford, CT. A long time ago there was a story in the Hartford Courant about how it came to be painted that way - it was an artistic decision based on research or something, believe it or not.

Apparently it was a long, torturous approval process that included the FAA and other assorted fuddy-duddys who kept asking "Why can't you just leave it grey, like all other smokestacks?"

That's progress for you.

Good one! After going through so many wedding posts. I have decided to book one of the outdoor wedding venues NYC for my wedding ceremony. I have noticed that the pictures clicked in daylight or around the nature or greenery actually comes out to be beautiful.
