We’ll be updating this site as we figure out the details, so check back from time to time. We’re getting hitched and we’re hoping you can join us for this once-in-a-lifetime event. With any luck we’ll get some tips about what to do from Stefon!
The wedding will be held on Saturday July 12, 2014. We’ll figure out the exact time later.
Bloomville, NY? Where’s that? It’s where we’re getting married! The Turquoise Barn is nestled in the Catskills, about 3 hours from NYC and 1.5 hours from Albany.
adam and megan met for the first time at their dear friend angela’s birthday party. adam wound up sitting next to megan’s good friend heather and really never spoke with megan. a few days later when angela asked adam what he thought of her friends, adam replied that he thought megan was pretty cute.
i thought she was cute.
adam was hanging out with some friend’s in angela’s backyard. it turns out that angela’s and megan’s then-housemate, ellen (a.k.a. the secret chef), had gone to culinary school with adam’s close friend blair’s sister. megan came out to see what was going on and told everyone how she was going back and forth between the house and her studio trying to find her passport. she and tamara were flying to the dominican republic the next day.
who doesn't know where their passport is the night before leaving the country?
after a few brief text message exchanges and a myspace friend connection, megan invited adam over to hang out. after a few hours of great conversation (and a bottle or two of wine) it was time for adam to head home. to his surprise megan wanted to walk him back (garden street was a little rough back then). upon arrival they said some goodnights and adam offered to call a cab, but something then came over him and he leaned in for a kiss. the rest, as they say, is private.
megan was out with friends late, and then she came home to find adam on the couch. unlike most evenings when she’d immediately put on her PJs, megan sat down next to her man. antonio came bounding up onto the couch and adam made some snarky comment about how loud his tags were. (it was really quite perfect because that very day megan updated antonio’s tags.) megan was just about to chock it up to adam being a punk, roll her eyes, and walk away, but then she noticed something hanging from antonio’s collar…the ring! adam hopped down on both knees (he’s 40, now, and officially ancient) and proposed. luckily she said yes (though, seeing as how they’d already bought a house, it would be rather suspect to have said no).
she said yes!
it was an amazing weekend. we honestly could not have hoped for a better outcome (other than each of us saying ‘i do’). we were amazed at how many people took the time and made the long-distance trek to be with us. the award for longest distance, however, goes to the wardaughs who hailed from scotland!
the weather was perfect, the moon was full, the food was incredible, and the setting was idyllic. with the exception of the groom forgetting his pants, there really were no hiccups. and the arrival of jordan and his turquoise ’57 thunderbird was the icing on the cake.
we said we do!
The Turquoise Barn is a quaint B&B owned and operated by a couple of former Brooklyn residents, Michelle and Michael, and their son Miguel. Located near Delhi, NY, The TB is an old farmhouse, a huge barn, and the eponymous roadside barn that occasionally houses Michael’s artwork. Michelle is known to do Reiki massage and she also teaches vegetarian and vegan cooking. They did an incredible job preparing the grounds for our wedding and they were amazing hosts. Michael built a campfire each night, adding a really warm setting for after-dark chats.
