Greetings from gorgeous Saratoga Springs, New York! Fall has definitely arrived in upstate New York! We are in town this weekend to celebrate Frank & Melissa as they are saying “I Do” today!

Our drive from New York City to Saratoga took about 3 hours due to some unruly New York City traffic. Having 3 hours in the car with Bo was a blast as it gave us some time to reflect on our time in New York City and of course sing along to music on the radio. While our time abroad hasn’t necessarily been easy, it has reaffirmed for us that we are a strong couple and have incredible friends and family who are a wonderful support network! 

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with Melissa, helping her with a few last minute projects and finally catching up. We’ve been on such opposite schedules the past few months that we have barely talked other than email or Google Chat. It was great to have some quality time with she and her sister before the weekend festivities started.

The rehearsal went off last night without a hitch and both Frank and Melissa were beaming with excitement!

The rehearsal dinner was held within walking distance of the hotel at Jacob & Anthony’s. The private dining area allowed for lots of mingling time between the guests which was especially convenient for us since we haven’t been able to attend all the pre-wedding festivities.    The rehearsal dinner also allowed me and Gena time to catch up as it’s been years since we saw each other! Gena, Melissa and I were all New York City bloggers back in the day and spent a lot of time together at blog events. We’ve missed Gena in the city since she moved down to DC! There was definitely a group who stayed out late partying and celebrating but we decided to crash early so we can party hard tonight. I am so excited about dancing at their wedding tonight as I know Melissa has spent a great deal of time working on reception details and choosing songs for the DJ!

I’m off to grab green juice and coffee with Melissa and a few of the bridesmaids before the wedding hair, makeup and craziness begins! Hope you’re having a great weekend! Good luck to all of my friends who are in Pennsylvania for the Runner’s World race weekend!
