Our Wedding

On an icy, wet, February evening in 2021, there was no better place for two people to meet in person for the first time than a grungy Irish bar on a river in Dover. Jesse and Emma had spoken briefly over the phone before their first date where they had lightly discussed their jobs, their mutual love of asian food, and then determined that grabbing a drink and chatting in person would be an exciting follow up. They were terribly nervous, both of them having mostly written off online dating before stumbling upon each others profiles, and they each handled their nerves in their own way. For Jesse, he lived closest to Furys so he got there a little early, just in time to blow off some steam by busting out a couple of push ups on the frozen steps before settling down with a beer. Emma, on the other hand, strolled in a typical 10 minutes late and stumbled awkwardly up to a waiting Jesse at the bar. They quickly got into a groove over poutine and Jameson gingers. Emma was too nervous to eat and accidentally drank her dinner. The conversation flowed easily, and a quick drink turned into a three hour date with the next one being planned for the following week. From there, the rest was history. Their four years together have been filled with countless laughs (many from Emmas *incredible* puns), adventure, growth and discovery. With Ocean, the three of them have become quite a team and they are thrilled to share the start of their next chapter with all of you. Cheers!

Our Story

Photos

We are so fortunate to have so many folks be a part of our day and our celebration. We have collected quite the impressive array of people who have built us into the individuals, and the couple, that we are today. We aren't naming them separately as we are lucky enough to have too many to name! Our hearts are full knowing that no matter the length of relationship, all who are apart of our wedding (the party, or those here to party) are all of equal standing. We are so grateful to have you all as a part of this joyous time. How to spot the wedding partyThose who are in our wedding party will not be standing at the alter with us, they will instead be invited to sit and enjoy the ceremony that they worked hard to help us create. That being said, please adhere to any reserved seating signs you may see during the ceremony, however oddly placed they may be! You will see the party walking the aisle in shades of green and the groomsmen will be wearing grey with floral ties.

Wedding Party

About the venue

We are so lucky to be able to have our wedding at the Hackmatack Farm and Playhouse! The Guptill family has had the Hackmatack for decades and we are lucky to call them our friends. This property is a stellar combination of beautiful farm fields filled with pigs and bison, and an old barn converted into a playhouse. The Hackmatack has hosted plays for generations and we are honored to use the space to celebrate our union!

Dover Childrens Museum

The children museum is located in the heart of Dover, a 7 minute drive from the Garrison Hotel. The museum is a part of the Henry Law Park on the Cocheco River. The outside of the museums has a large playground that is free to enter that is a great place to entertain the kids and get some outside time. Ticket prices are around $30 a person to enter the museum and there is a toy store/candy shoppe (Lickees and Chewies) just across the road.

Downtown Dover
