Oh, I’m sure you’ve heard of it, NYer...The Fox Hollow (how ENGLISH, right??)
It’s one of the Scotto Brothers’ places, along with Westbury Manor and the Chateau Briand (where my brother had his wedding — and his was even bigger than mime at over 400 people — his wife’s family is larger than ours, hard as that is to believe).
You’re right about changing that one little date made all the difference — to this day, I don’t know what I would have done to reign in costs and still have my whole family there to witness our nuptials. People say, “Oh, why didn’t you have it in a tent?” Well, I would have but as you know, LAND is at a premium in NYC and on Long Island — where would I put this tent?
No matter. We’re coming on 20 years of marriage and all is well. What more could I ask?
Regards,
PS: I would have been delighted to have you at the wedding dear NYer!
Nothing! The fact that you love your husband more today than yesterday, is testimony to the blessings God has bestowed on your marriage. Your union is indeed ... a match made in Heaven.
P.S. - thanks for the invite! I miss Long Island. 20 years ago, I moved upstate to the Capitol District to be closer to my aging parents, who relocated here 30 years before my move. The best part of this move is that I retain happy memories of the Long Island years while growing up. Now, I am centrally located - 3 hours away from NYC, BOS or Montreal. Still, the smell of the surf eludes me, along with the call of the gulls and the sound of international flights passing overhead at specific times of day. I'll keep the memories and cherish the new surroundings.
