Okay, so Kate and I finally get to the Bate's motel in Mattituck. We quickly change and haul butt to the rehearsal dinner, in Greenport. Very pretty place. Food...eh. But, it's about Mary and Ron, and that's what matters.
Saw the entire Prevosti clan--they are the family in which you'd like to be a member. Warm, kind, real, incredible people. Saw Joy for the first time in nearly 20 years...Nicky, Lou, Helene, mom, pop (Tony showed up the next day). It was so much fun seeing them and reminiscing about the past. Especially Labor Day Weekend 1988, Poconos, Tom Riley's parents' house.
(I love Tom Riley.)
Time for a pic. That's Gary.
Anyhoo, rehearsal dinner was fun--finally met Ron, he and Mary do make an incredible couple. I always liked Mary's boyfriends, which is more than I can say about most of my other friends' boyfriends, and it broke my heart whenever she broke up with any of them. I went into the rehearsal dinner completely sure I would be happy with Mary's choice of beau. I am. He passed. Phew!
Dinner over, Kate and I have to get back to Bate's. We stop and get beer and a beer opener and smartfood (a fave of mine) and bet back to motel. Hung and read. And drank. Nice.
Saturday, another HOT HUMID MISERABLE weather day in my world.
Walked to town and got coffee at a cool little cheese place that has great cheeses at reasonable prices. Picked up bread and cheese and some ham as well. The firemen's parade was going on as well, so we looked at the old fire trucks and new firemen. Kate bought me the most wonderful cherry bag ever. (Finally used it the other day. Love it!)
Got back to hotel and picked up car. Went to Greenport again and the town is kinda cute and rocking. Got Hershey's Ice Cream--totally wow and yummy! It's hard to get, impossible in California. Not crazy creamy or sweet--just good, old-fashioned ice cream. We were happy. Then, the fun really REALLY begins.
