Karen and I chose our favorite local restaurant, Chestnut, as the location for our rehearsal dinner.

From the first time we ate there in the late Spring, we wanted to devise a way to hold the event there. Working with chef Daniel Eardley and sommelier Michael Connolly was great from the beginning. They invited us to […]
