The Inn at Blackstone is going through a system change to update to a more secure system after they had those spam messages sent out a month or so again. If you already have a reservation, you should be receiving an email from them for a cc authorization form. THIS IS NOT SPAM! They have transferred all of the reservations to the new system manually but the cc information did not transfer so they need you to fill this out. Please do so at your earliest convenience. The email from the hotel may likely be coming from Dianna Lester.

Ceremony starting at 5:15pm

Tracy and Jack first crossed paths at a mutual friend’s wedding in Colorado back in 2017. Eyes met across the room, sparks flew, and before they knew it, they were dancing, laughing, and hanging out together for the entire night. Fast forward five years… Jack was planning his 30th birthday celebration at a beach house in North Carolina. Around the same time, their mutual friend Kevin was flying in from Colorado and casually texted Tracy to ask what she was up to that weekend — and how far the beach was. Tracy replied, “Well, it’s my birthday weekend too… but I’m only turning 28, so who really cares? I have no plans, and the beach is about six hours away.” Naturally, Kevin took this as a sign and invited Tracy to Jack’s birthday weekend before even asking Jack. Luckily, Jack remembered Tracy immediately from that wedding five years earlier and enthusiastically said yes. Tracy then went above and beyond by offering to drive to Raleigh to pick up Kevin and Jack’s friend Travis from the airport — saving them a rental car and turning her drive into an 8+ hour adventure that ended at the beach house around 3 a.m. Totally worth it. After that weekend, the rest was history. Now, 3.5 years later, Tracy and Jack live together in a cozy townhouse in Reston with their two dogs, Finn and Rue, and have already built a life full of love, laughter, and memories. They’re beyond excited to officially tie the knot and celebrate with their favorite people — and they can’t wait to start the next chapter together.
