A Day in the CT Woods.

This day was lovely. The weather was delightful, the mood was calm, and the food was fantastic. Everyone was happy.

The entire family was great to us; thank you for abiding by our unconventional requests — you helped make this day perfect. Thank you also to the lovely owners of Chatfield Hollow Bed and Breakfast — your magical forest hideaway swept us off our feet.

For our closest family and friends, here is a photo gallery holding some of our special moments.
