december in the city

this weekend, we got to go to a lovely wedding in boston.

the weather was lovely, [for december in boston] reaching the 40s and dry.

park street church

i learned to pour slowly while mixing punch

norwegian & chinese pastry reception

this was the first wedding we attended since we got married.

the bride is a dear friend & it's been fun to get to know her now-hubby.

the two have awesome hearts of service, making a donation to

all girls allowed in place of wedding favors.

the organization works to educate about china's one child policy 

and advocate for the women of china.

the donation will provide one orphan scholarship, enabling an abandoned orphan girl to attend school for one year and sponsor one baby shower gift, guaranteeing one baby girl makes it from conception to through her first year of life without being aborted, neglected or abandoned.

i have to admit, i was pretty excited to get a aga button,

can't wait to put it on my bag!

it was such a lovely day, cheers becca & adrian...we love you guys!

with the bride & groom
