Snow on the Roof!

Quite frequently I get asked by people if they can go up on the roof and I have to say that no one is allowed on the roof for safety reasons--not their safety, but for the preservation of the rubber membrane that makes the roof watertight. Today I took some pictures of the snow on the roof before we began the arduous project of removing it. As nearly three feet had accumulated and drifted I thought it prudent to have it removed.









Enjoy wintery view!

Snow Day at the Mansion!

Wadsworth Mansion Featured Wedding - Jess & Chris

Congratulations to Jess and Chris! Jess and Chris were actually married three years ago. They spent the last two years in Guam, where Chris was stationed in the Navy. Now that they are back in CT, they celebrated on January 2nd with their family and friends at the Mansion! They had a beautiful winter wedding. Below are some of our favorite photos provided by Sassy Mouth Photography.

The day started with a lovely ceremony at St. Pius Church in Middletown.

Then they headed to the Mansion to celebrate!

We love this shot of Chris, Jess, and their son, Jonah!
