A Green Mountain Fall Wedding at 1768 Hubbell Homestead in Bennington, Vermont
One October night in 2009, Mark met Allie for the first time. There she was at a costume party, dressed as a life sized iPod, leaving Mark impressed by her down to earth personality and love of music. It wasn’t until four semesters later, on a mid-summer day in Hartford, when romance was found at a Lil’ Wayne concert. As their love flourished and UConn diplomas were awarded, Mark set out for the real world while Allie kept her nose in the books, Allie in Connecticut and Mark in Boston. To get their quality time in living in different states, they took weekend trips around New England, endless take-out sushi orders, and a growing love for one another. Three years later, the couple was reunited in Boston, moving from Southie to Cambridge before finally calling Somerville home. Thinking of sunnier days on a frigid February night, Mark decided this year’s trip to Maine would be the one they would remember forever. Six long months later, Mark pretended to reach for his camera to capture the beautiful Camden coastline, instead emerging with a ring in hand. Allie said yes!
The pair knew they wanted to experience the beauty of fall in New England on their wedding day, so they picked the sunniest October day in Bennington, Vermont at 1768 Hubbell Homestead at Colgate Park. Their ceremony overlooked the Green Mountains, and they made sure their guests didn’t get too chilly with fuzzy blankets for their guests that read, “To have and to hold, in case it gets cold!” During cocktail hour, Allie wore a custom jean jacket her sister made, while everyone sipped on signature cocktails and gave lots of hugs and kisses. The Scarlet Roots Epic Photo Booth was there too, which guests LOVED!!! To top of all off, Allie & Mark’s sweet tooth came out in the form of a wild dessert bar, including but not limited to: maple sugar cookies, pumpkin pie, seven layer bars, apple blondies, pumpkin whoopie pies, mini apple cider donuts… the fall vibes were REAL. They ended their perfect Vermont wedding night roaring smores in a cracking bonfire under the stars. Congratulations, Mark + Allie!
