Date and location

After much suspense, we secured Saturday, September 26, 2009 for our wedding at Allegany State Park, New York. The ceremony will be on a wooded peninsula on Red House Lake (see left) and the reception will be at the Quaker picnic area. The ceremony will be officiated by pastor Robert Hoey.

Preliminary views from a potential location

We traveled to Allegany State Park, NY, in July to check it out as a potential location for the ceremony and reception: Here are a few pictures:

This is a potential location of the wedding ceremony: small peninsula with red/white pines


Below is the view from the peninsula:


In case it rains/snows, this may be an indoor location for the ceremony:
