A Little bit of Charlestown at The Commandant's House

Claire & Owen (7/26/08)
It was an absolutely gorgeous day when Claire pulled up to the Commandant's House in Charlestown, MA. The bridal suite there is unbelievable--it was hot upstairs, but so worth it with all of the beautiful rooms and places to get ready. The flowers arrived and Claire sat in the perfectly pink bathroom while one of her bridesmaids put on her makeup. Everyone was having fun opening their gifts from Claire which were cute necklaces, towels, candy and beach bags. We then headed over to St. Mary's Cathedral which is just up the street. Owen cried, the fans were keeing us all cool, and they exchanged rings and a kiss...it was a beautiful ceremony. There was a fun bagpiper outside waiting for them and it was a quick stroll (past a Duck boat, no less, how more Boston can you get?) back to the Commandant's House for pictures, toasts (and tears), a yummy clam bake from Legal Seafood, and then a ton of dancing. We had so much fun--congratulations you two!
