FAQs
Question

Question
What time does the sun set on December 30th?
Answer
That's a great question. The Farmer's Almanac predicts that we will be able to enjoy a gorgeous sunset on Candlewood Lake at approximately 4:33 PM. There are mountains in the distance, so we may lose the light between 4:25 and 4:30 PM. Come share in the spectacle if you're so inclined. The cocktail hour starts promptly at 5 PM.
Question
Do you have a hashtag?
Answer
Never ones to miss a pun, we've settled on #abartlettpair (throw an emoji in there if you're feeling saucy).
Question
Who are the priests celebrating the day's Mass?
Answer
Monseigneur Robert Weiss is a longtime family friend of the Vacaro family and is the Pastor for the St. Rose of Lima Church in Newtown, Connecticut. With this wedding, he completes his collection, as he has celebrated the marriages of all three Vacaro children. Fr. Brendan Lally, S.J. is Jason's longtime friend, co-collaborator, and mentor. Their troublemaking began at their alma mater, The University of Scranton. The duo reunited for a sequel at Saint Joseph's University, where Father still serves as the rector of the Jesuit Community.
Question
We're from the West Coast...how should we dress?
Answer
December will be cold. Pack your warm winter coat, gloves, hat, and a scarf. You'll want warm jams, socks, and sweaters for your down time. Boots probably aren't necessary unless we get some snow, so you could probably make do with a high top hiking shoe or sneakers.
