ABOUT ERIK
Erik is currently an SQA engineer for Avid Technology in Tewksbury, MA.
HOW WE MET

WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED
October 2, 2007
HOW IT HAPPENED
Erik proposed to Courtney beside the reflecting pool of the Mary Baker Eddy Library in Boston after a fabulous and romantic dinner at the Top of the Hub (the super swanky restaurant at the top of the Prudential Center here in Boston with views of the entire city). After regaining her composure, she said yes!
WHEN & WHERE
September 27, 2008
Phoenicia, NY
ABOUT THE BIG DAY
We are planning a weekend long celebration in the Catskill Mountains (where Courtney spent summers as a child and the couple currently spends as many weekends as they can). We hope a long weekend (Friday to Sunday) full of fun events and plenty of down-time will allow family and friends plenty of time to get to know one another.

The weekend will kick off at 7pm Friday night with the Welcome BBQ hosted in the tent by Don and Sue Lindberg. There will be plenty of good food, cold drinks, and great company, so we hope to see you there! There will also be some Irish step dancing (audience participation strongly encouraged!). Immediately following the BBQ, join us stream-side for a campfire and s’mores!
On Saturday, breakfast and lunch will be served in the Café, otherwise, there are no organized events taking place on Saturday morning. We hope you can use this time to relax, visit with friends and family, or explore the area- the front desk can provide information on hiking, antiquing, golf, and other pursuits. A 40 minute drive to the Pakatakan Farmer’s Market could be a nice opportunity to take in the foliage. Check out the INTERACTIVE MAP for some of our favorite stuff to do in the area.
On Saturday afternoon, we recommend that guests depart from The Full Moon for Saint Francis at 1:15pm, to allow time to be seated prior to the ceremony, which will begin at 2pm. Following the ceremony, guests can leisurely make their way back to The Full Moon where the cocktail hour will begin at 4pm on the lawn. We will be taking a group photo during the cocktail hour, so please be there!
Saturday evening, the reception will take place from 5-9pm in the tent. Immediately following the reception, the party will continue across the street in the Performance Space until midnight. There will be drinks, snacks and plenty of fun, so we hope you will join us there.
On Sunday morning, brunch with the newly married couple will be served in the Café from 8:30-10:30am, giving you time to pack before check-out at 11am.
Following brunch, Jim and Sheila are hosting an open house at their cabin, just up the road from The Full Moon from 11am-3pm. There will be refreshments, as well as the opportunity to explore their 35 acres of property (complete with walking/hiking paths and a trout pond). It will be necessary to carpool, as 4-wheel drive is recommended for the driveway. There will be a sign-up sheet at the front desk where you can list your name if you need a ride. Guests can gather on the lawn (or in the lobby in case rain) at 10:45am to begin shuttling up the hill. Any questions you have can be directed to Jim and Sheila.
If there is anything you need, please don’t hesitate to ask! We sincerely hope you have a great weekend and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate our wedding with you!
