GOT Effing Hitched!

So that happened. Phew! Holy yeesh guys, that was really something. 

The outpouring of love? 
The dancing our faces off (almost literally in Balgavy and Timmy's case)?
Those lobster grilled cheeses?
That cake?
The weather?
The coolest officiant EVER?
The Tenenbaum's summer home?

I don't even know where to start. So I'll leave it at that for now.

More photos to come as we compile and pull them from Facebook, as we know many aren't on the social timesuck. Love you all!

Latest Poll Results and Some Secrets Revealed...

Alright food junkies, latest poll just came to an end and the results are overwhelmingly food-centric. I know, shocking.


Beach scored 2 votes. Perhaps I should have put "Nude Beach" for more interest. And yes, there is one in North Truro. And no, I don't know where. But you best believe that by this time next week, we'll possess that knowledge.

Bec delights at the thought of nude beaches.

Witnessing the Hitching and Lawn Games Bonanza also scored 2 votes each. Fair enough. Sometimes food and dancing is more important than bocce and we're ok with that. As for the ceremony part, let's be honest, it's usually not the part about the wedding that gets us going. Which is why Dr. B will be performing our ceremony. And we do mean performing. Prepare yourselves for a good time with a few surprises.

Dancing Your Faces Off came up with 4, and I can promise you, this will be happening. The "must play" list just went out and we've made some good plays. Also, it wouldn't matter if we did. This dude mashes up soul, funk, hip hop, indie rock and pretty much everything else on our respective iPods. It shouldn't disappoint.

We'll just go by Kennedy now, thanks.

Finally, Food and Drink Madness scored the win, pulling in 7 votes. So this is where I tell you the food should be pretty delightful. For the rehearsal dinner, we locked down a taco bar, which will be improved upon by some homemade guacamole and a margarita station run by Jack Gardner himself.

For the wedding, of course there need to be surprises, but I can let you know that we'll be having a grilled cheese and soup bar for dinner. There will be several types of each, stuff you've never heard of in a grilled cheese. And bar snacks to accompany these bad boys (those will remain secret, something has to, right?).

Future Wife. At least for another 12 days.

If it helps, think of it as a dinner at our house. In other words, tons of snacks, and then when you're too full for dinner, you eat it anyway. Add a signature Sean cocktail to that (Bec's personal fave of mine) and we'll be having some inebriated good times on full stomachs. See you guys in...

LESS THAN TWO EFFING WEEKS!

I'm Hungry, What Do We Eat Here? (Vol. I)

We're obviously going to have a few of these.

So you've found yourself in Cape Cod with a grumbling stomach. What to eat?

First rule: Do not - I repeat, DO NOT - eat at any establishment named after either any device used to trap lobsters or parts of their anatomy. The Lobster Pound. The Lobster Pool. The Lobster Claw. Don't trust me? Check this out. Is your sound on? Good. Hold onto your effing hats!


There are a few exceptions to this rule, but they are few and far between. Actually, just to be safe, try not to eat anywhere that has a combination of nets, traps and buoys hanging from the roof either. Trust me. It will be overpriced, watery and disappointing.

Remember those exceptions I mentioned? Here's one:


This is Mac's Shack in Wellfleet and (in my opinion) one of the best places on the Cape to eat. They have a lovely outdoor bar with lots of great cocktail options, a lightning fast raw bar and an inventive oyster shooters menu.


Their menu is a mix of fresh takes on Cape Cod favorites (you can still get a wicked bucket of steamers, as well) and some of the freshest sushi I've ever eaten in my life. It is also one of the only places in the US that I've ever been served fresh, raw, grated wasabi with my meal. Swayze ate his first hamachi collar here and has never been the same since. (For those of you who've never had the pleasure, it's basically the chicken wing of the ocean. Usually glazed with sweet soy and grilled to a crisp. Delectable.)

Actually, does anyone want to go RIGHT NOW?? I love this place.


More wedding-oriented stomach grumbles to come! (Including some options for those of us who are physically or mentally allergic to shellfish. You'll still be able to eat things!)
