Question
What do I wear to the wedding weekend?What do I wear to the wedding weekend?
Answer
Our lives are a blend of spirited adventure and appreciation for the refined, and we’ve designed this weekend to reflect both. On Friday, we gather under the open sky to honor our roots, witnessing them grow stronger as our loved ones bond over shared laughter, outdoor festivities, and music. On Saturday, we transition from the joyful revelry to the sacred, celebrating the life we are building and the profound depth of our commitment. Friday (Day): We recommend you bring comfortable day-time lakeside clothing and bathing for camp and water activities. Friday (Evening): We invite you to dress in Garden-Casual Attire for the special guest performances and live music. Think earthy tones, breathable fabrics, and footwear suitable for nature—comfortable enough for connection and dance. Saturday (Day): We will host brunch; send you out on canoes and kayaks; promote exploration of the grounds; encourage tennis and volleyball tourneys. Similar to Friday (Day). Saturday (Evening): We invite you to join us in Formal Attire (Black-Tie Optional) as we exchange vows beneath the canopy of the Ceremonial Oak tree. Following the ceremony, dinner and festivities will be held on the lawn and inside the Main Barn. As New England summers are famously unpredictable, we suggest keeping an umbrella nearby so a passing shower won’t dampen the celebration. Please choose sturdy footwear suitable for uneven paths.

Question
What is a Loon?What is a Loon?
Answer
The common loon or great northern diver (Gavia immer) is a large member of the loon, or diver, family of birds. Breeding adults have a plumage that includes a broad black head and neck with a greenish, purplish, or bluish sheen, blackish or blackish-grey upperparts, and pure white underparts except some black on the undertail coverts and vent. Non-breeding adults are brownish with a dark neck and head marked with dark grey-brown. Their upperparts are dark brownish-grey with an unclear pattern of squares on the shoulders, and the underparts, lower face, chin, and throat are whitish. The sexes look alike, though males are significantly heavier than females. During the breeding season, loons live on lakes and other waterways in Canada, the northern United States (including Alaska), and southern parts of Greenland and Iceland. Small numbers breed on Svalbard and sporadically elsewhere in Arctic Eurasia. Common loons winter on both coasts of the US as far south as Mexico, and on the Atlantic coast of Europe.
