2021

We are elated to announce we have been able to reschedule our celebration to October 30th, 2021!

Last summer, we were able to become legally married in a small COVID-safe ceremony with our immediate families. We knew we wouldn't be satisfied without sharing our love with our friends and family. Therefore, we will have a celebratory ceremony and wedding reception this fall to share our love and celebrate with some family and friends. We hope you can join us at our celebration!

Love,

Hannah and Alexander

What We Did

---

We had a small, COVID-safe ceremony with our immediate family on August 23rd, 2020 where we were legally married!

The date of August 23rd holds a special place in our family. Hannah's parents were married on August 23rd around lunchtime in New Hampshire. At almost the same time on the same date of the same year, Alexander's parents got married in Rhode Island! This special date was so important, we decided to have the ceremony on that special date and then have a celebration and reception when it was safe to do so!

What We're Doing

---

We are (really hoping) to celebrate this October!

This October 30th, we are planning to host a reception for our loved friends and family at our home in Lee, NH. We will have a ceremony to celebrate our marriage last year, and to thank you for joining us! We will then have a cocktail hour while we take some group pictures. Following that will be a buffet dinner with amazing food and cake! We hope to see you then!

Lee and the Seacoast of New Hampshire

Getting There and Away

Lee is located 20 minutes from the seacoast of NH. An hour from Boston, 45 minutes from Manchester, an hour from the Lakes of NH, with the mountains just beyond.

For those flying in, you may fly in to Boston Logan (1 hour), Manchester-Boston Regional (45 Minutes), or Portland (Maine) International (1 hour +).

We understand many will be more comfortable driving in these uncertain times of COVID. Take I-95 to NH Exit 5. Take NH Route 16 to exit 9. The Hampton Inn is to the right, at the next light (on the left corner). The Homewood Suites is to the left (on the right side).

Where to Stay

Below is a brief list of recommendations on places to stay near Lee.

We will provide a shuttle these hotels to the venue.

Hampton Inn	The Hampton Inn is conveniently located just off the highway and close to the wedding venue. It is about a 15 minute drive to the venue. We have a block of discounted rooms reserved there - use the link above to get the group discount.
Homewood Suites	Homewood Suites is located a minute closer to the venue in Dover. We have a block of discounted rooms here as well, use the link above to get the group discount.
Hotels/Bed and Breakfasts in Town	There are a large number of smaller hotels and B&B's around Dover, Portsmouth, Durham, and surrounding areas.
Vacation rentals	Both VRBO and airbnb have a number of vacation rentals in the area. This is also a highly recommended and often more affordable option for those who don't mind something a bit more self-service.

Things to Do

There's no shortage of things to do in the seacoast! We highly recommend spending a few days (or weeks) in the area!

Paperless

---

This is a paperless wedding. Many of the traditional paper items such as save the dates, invitations, programs, thank you cards, etc. are being delivered digitally. This allows us to allocate those resources to other aspects of the celebration. Conserving the planet's resources is a nice added bonus, too! Thanks for your help and understanding!

Investment

---

We decided to make the prep work for this wedding an investment rather than a one time expense. By making our home's yard into a beautiful setting for the ceremony and reception, we can enjoy it for years to come. Hannah is using her mad thrifting skills to make unique table settings, fun decorations, and many other elements to showcase our love and style. Alexander is falling on his years of event production experience to make sure everyone is heard, the logistics are all taken care of, and everyone has a good time.

Our Story

---

In June 2018, shortly after they started dating, Alexander and Hannah both knew they would be together forever. A shared admiration for the TV show "How it's Made" and Milwaukee tools gave a glimmer to all the shared interests in this couple.

Their new relationship was almost over before it started. On the Friday afternoon of their first date, an emergency occurred at Hannah's work. She was worried Alexander wouldn't wait around, but he waited the few hours until everything was settled. They had settled on getting a slice at a pizza place in Concord. This was not meant to be. Little did they know a festival was planned for that day closing the street and making the area quite overcrowded. Thinking on their feet, they decided to go to a Friendly's right outside the city instead. They got to know eachother more over the coming weeks and months.

Alexander was and is very set in his ways. In contrast Hannah wanted to express her emotions to Alexander after only a few months. As a compromise, they decided to say You Know. They still say it to this day!
