a carousel wedding

bethany and ben came to us in a rather unusual way. let explain. a bride of ours, ashley, came to jane frazzled because she had to up her july wedding to memorial day weekend. her fiance was entering the police academy and his soon to be employers would not let him have the time off. (no worries though--everything worked out beautifully for ashley and i will share her wedding in another blog post). this left her original july date open sort of last minute. elsewhere in connecticut, bethany's florist became sick and could no longer fullfill her obligations as florist for bethany's july wedding to ben. so she called jane and it all felt into place.

bethany and ben married at lighthouse point in new haven with the ceremony on the beach overlooking new haven harbor and long island sound. their reception followed  in the carousel pavillion which houses an antique carousel built in 1916. one of less than 100 still in operation today in the u.s. it's a wonderful space, and while i'm not a beachy wedding person myself, i have to admit, i had wedding envy.
