A message to our out-of-town guests!

Tomorrow is Friday, September 18. We will be 50 days until the wedding tomorrow!

There are a few details we want to make sure that you are aware of.

First of all, everyone is welcome to join us for services on Friday night at 8:00. Services will be held at Temple Sinai in Stamford. It is about 20 minutes from the hotel. The address is
Temple Sinai
458 Lakeside Dr
Stamford, CT 06903

Afterward, friends are welcome back to my parents house for game play and a last minute together as singles.

On Saturday, we are obviously getting married! There will be a shuttle from the hotel to the ceremony leaving from the hotel at 5:30. It will return to the hotel at the end of the reception. If you miss the shuttle on the way there, you are on your own to get to the ceremony (there will be directions for you at the hotel).

On Sunday, my grandparents, Norma and Don Stone, are hosting a brunch. The rest of this information will have to join us later.

We are looking forward to seeing you! Lots of love! Deborah and Matt

FORD Du-athalon

The second weekend in September is one of the last races of the year for Matt, Phil, and Steve. We go south to Fredericksburg for a weekend of camping. This year, there were five people (Matt, Phil, Steve, Lesley, and I) and three dogs (Misty, Elroy, and Bones). The dogs almost outnumbered people; they definitely did in attitude.

We arrived at dinnertime on Friday and went about setting up camp quickly before we lost all the light. We hung out by the fire but went to bed relatively early because they had a big race in the morning.


Saturday, the dogs decided at 6:30 it was time to wake up. Bones was jumping around the tent and being a general terror. We got up, I made eggs for breakfast, and the guys got ready to go. Lesley and I decided that we and the dogs would go and cheer them on at the start. We had to stop for coffee and donuts on the way. We were getting our food when the phone rang asking about a pair of shoes that were left at the campsite. We drive all the way back, about a 45 minute trip and raced back to give the missing shoes to their owner.

The guys all did well at the race. Matt took 1st, Steve took 3rd adn Phil took 5th in their division. Then it was back to camp for showers and food. Like always, there was a big fire Saturday night. And out early on Sunday.

Wedding Info

Hey all! Welcome to our site. We will have all the wedding information here for you. Check back from time to time for pictures and more good stuff.

We are getting married (!!!) on November 7, 2009 at 6:00pm at Le Chateau in South Salem, New York. It is an old mansion turned into a restaurant that sits at the top of a hill looking out over the trees.

WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED May 10, 2008
HOW IT HAPPENED
We go camping and hiking every Spring. This year we were going back to Old Rag (the first place we went), but I was very sick. So Saturday morning, we woke up and found an easy hike. We climbed to the highest peak, and found ourselves in a cloud. He asked if I was hungry and wanted an apple out of his backpack, but gave me a beautiful ring instead! Of course I said YES!
