Quasquibicentennial

As Jake mentioned earlier, we are very excited to get married in the Presbyterian Church. It has a lot of meaning for us from our time at Centre and it's beautiful. This year, the church is celebrating its quasquibicentennial, which is crazy talk for 225th birthday. Our friend Leigh Ivey wrote a great article about the history of the church and its relationship with the college. Read it here!

Wonderful Weekend

Once Jake finally made it to Nashville (6 hours late at 2 a.m.!) we headed up to Danville for a highly anticipated weekend of wedding planning activities and Centre homecoming fun.

We first met with Rev. Stuart to discuss an extensive questionnaire that Jake and I each filled out. We weren't allowed to discuss it before the meeting, so Jake was very excited to see the results. I was just nervous he would declare us incompatible! Luckily, we're a pretty good couple, and it's great to have people like Rev. Stewart and Dr. Axtell to discuss the common marital issues with.

The we headed out to Harrodsburg for the first look at our reception venue, Devine's Farm. The Devines have a huge corn maze and pumpkin festival each fall, so it was a busy time for them and we were grateful they took the time to show us around. The farm is beautiful, and the pavilion will be perfect for the eating, dancing and general merriment we expect at the reception. There's even a fire pit for late-night s'mores!

It will take about 15 minutes to get there from the church. I'll include some directions closer to the event.


Then it was back to Danville to stay at Hotel Roy Lee and relive our wonderful college years. We were able to check out the new student center and see so many of our very best friends. I tried to do "the worm" for the first and last time, but maybe Brian will grace us with his version at the reception. A big thanks to Roy Lee for his fabulous hospitality!
