Both Tom's mother and I share a love for Anne of Green Gables. To unite our two families, Tom and I thought it would be special to have an "Anne of Green Gables" themed wedding. All my life, I have dreamed of visiting Green Gables on Prince Edward Island. Tom is excited to eat all the lobster and seafood he can while on the island! He said he is also looking forward to playing golf and having a relaxing honeymoon together! Anne described the sunsets on PEI to shine like "a great rose window at the end of a cathedral aisle.” To share the experience with Tom would be a dream come true! We are planning to travel to PEI, Canada from July 13 or 14-20.

We are hoping to stay at a cottage on the shores of Prince Edward Island for a week after our wedding. There are so many beautiful places to stay! The gentle island offers beautiful cottages right by the sea where you can walk out your front door for a morning stroll by the beach. An average-priced beachside cottage will run about $1,000 for the week. (That’s in Canadian currency, so use the convert tool at the website if you are wondering the cost in your dollars.) Kayaking for the whole family might cost $200. A seal-watching excursion, $60. Dinner for four at a fine restaurant will be in the $100-150 range, but there are dozens of family-style (and family-priced) restaurants, as well. Authentic PEI Experiences offer themed activities designed to introduce you to the real Island way of life.

One of our big goals is to do some improvement projects on our townhouse, sell it, and buy our first home together.

We are saving for our first house! Hoping to buy next year!
