The Skytop it is!

Category: Blog — NanGabe @ 6:24 pm

There may be many questions plaguing the minds of our intrepid bride and groom, but that of where to hold the Sunday brunch has been resolved! The decision to change the location was made by the bride-to-be, and Gabe stepped right up and made an executive call to the Skytop Steakhouse and Brewery. Those folks staying on the Kingston side of the river will become quite familiar with the large letters overlooking the Throughway exit. The Skytop is a place out of time (which time we’re not exactly sure). We can vouch for the lounge as a great place to enjoy an evening’s repast – microbrewery and great steaks. Sandy recommends the Iron Mits Irish Stout, Sean and Gabe give high marks to the Highland Diesel Scotch Ale, and Nancy is never afraid to order a Winkle.

For those folks who don’t have to rush to head out of the Hudson Valley, the bride and groom would love to have people join them for brunch on Sunday morning. A full brunch is offered: carving station, omelet station, pastries, salad bar, etc. and a complimentary mimosa or bloody mary. $20.00 per person will cover brunch, tax, and tip and will be a great time to get to mingle with old friends and new. If you plan to attend, please give your money to Brooks or Helen Bartlett (parents of the Bride)
Hope that you will be able to attend.

Shower/Bachelor Party

Category: Blog — NanGabe @ 1:18 pm

You all will be quite pleased to know that Nancy is getting the wedding plans all firmed up – cake and flowers are on this week’s agenda. Gabe is busily coordinating the bachelor party with the help of his trusty groomsmen and others of the male persuasion – yes, the phone calls that no woman may witness are taking place, plans are secretly being made, and debauchery is in the air.

On a more genteel note, Aunt Bonnie, Nancy’s godmother, gave a most delightful shower for Nancy in Pittsburgh on April 22nd. Everything was absolutely picture perfect (though Franklin may disagree after spending several hours standing in the rain and graciously parking the cars of all of the guests). Guests were greeted to a home straight out of Martha Stewart, with the scents of spring flowers vying with the delicious smells coming out of the kitchen. The guests were friends who have known Nancy literally from the day she was born so it was a day full of joy and reminiscences.
