In early June we went to ms. s & mr. l's wedding. mr. l is d's college roommate. We went out friday afternoon with another of d's roomies from school, mr. o. ms. s & mr. l's rehearsal dinner on Friday night was at the Norman Rockwell Museum, and you know I wasn't missing that. The museum & surroundings were gorgeous, and the food was yum.
Strawberry mousse-type thing with some kind of cake inside, and biscotti too! 
Ms. m sampling mr. l's dessert. Really, it's hers too, right? 
This is mr. o, mr. l (rockin' the seersucker) and d. Still looking good at this point. After the rehearsal dinner (which was open bar) people rode the (chartered yellow school) bus to a local bar. It was a late night. So we slept in (here's a pic of the tub in the master bedroom at the Oak & Spruce Resort) 
and then went hunting for foodImagine my surprise when we found the BEST VIETNAMESE FOOD I'VE EVER HAD in Lee, Massachusetts. It was at Pho Saigon, on a little side street. Definitely a family-run place. I had this incredible "make your own" fresh rolls meal (sorry, I can't remember what it was called on the menu). 
Thin rice-wrappers on the left. They're hard, so you dip them in the hot water (yellow bowl) to soften. Then you fill with your choice of meat (I had chicken-very tasty, nicely marinated + grilled), rice vermicelli (underneath the chicken), lettuce, carrot shreds, daikon, basil and cilantro. Then dip in sauce (tangy + and bit spicy)! I guess we could make this at home, but every aspect was so perfect! The only thing I might add in an extremely perfect world was some bean sprouts. d's food was awesome too-- amazing spicy pho. 
Seriously, I am still thinking about this food almost a month later. Will definitely have to make the 2+ hour drive back out sometime this summer. Back to the wedding. Due to a bit of afternoon rain, the ceremony was on the back porch at the beautiful Cranwell Resort, which may well be the epitome of picturesque non-coastal New England. And check out what every wedding needs:
Yup, it's a candy bar! Lots of attention to detail. Note the little glassine bags at front left corner of table so you can bring the candy to your table with you :) We noticed one of the photographers chowing down on candy and going back to the table over and over again!...Pretty wedding cakes in several flavors :
Anyone who actually knows people in this wedding and want to see more pics can view them here. And finally, us, at the end of the night, looking pretty beat. Early morning next day so d could get back for graduation too.
