WELCOME TO OUR OGONTZ WEDDING

I walked through the doors of what I thought was my going-away dinner, planned by my parents and best friends from high school, only to be greeted by Braedon standing in a suit, holding roses and a present. I was elated beyond words to see him after so many weeks, but shocked that he had flown across the East coast to join the dinner party when I was driving to him the next day. Once our cocktails were served, Braedon gave me a book he made filled with toasts and photos from our relationship. He called for a toast and read aloud as we toasted our drinks after each page. By the time he got to the last page I knew his next move—the last page was a toast to forever and read, “Will you marry me?” Of course, I said “Yes!” and that was the beginning step in our forever. Now we are asking you to join us in creating and celebrating the next major chapter in our forever story.

Ogontz has held a special place in my heart ever since I first attended music camp there in 2006. For eight years in a row my family ventured to the White Mountains for the most beautiful musical excursion every summer—staying in the historic rustic cabins, canoeing on the lake, hiking to orchestra in the big red barn, and playing chamber music all night in the Rehearsal Hall. I remember watching the construction of the Great Hall (pictured in the Save the Dates) progress each year. When dreaming about where to host our wedding, Braedon and I fell in love with the idea of spending a weekend with our closest family and friends at a location so near to our hearts. We are delighted to welcome you to Ogontz and cannot wait to celebrate our marriage with the people we cherish most. With love, Aimé
