Garry works with me at The Crane Estate. We were both hired last spring, I as a Naturalist and he as the Field Educator. (He's the lucky one since his position is full-time year-round.) We've been working together on Estate programs for the past two seasons - he deals with the summer camp and I deal with the beach.
A co-worker's wedding is an entirely different beast. I don't know any of the couple's friends or family and to be honest I've only spent time with Garry, outside of work, a handful of times. But through working at the same place and sharing the same interests we've developed a friendship and the few times I've gotten to hang out with Beth have been wonderful. I've also gotten to meet Garry's mom and dad because they've helped out with the overnight camp two years in a row.
But still, going into it I was a little nervous purely because I only knew four people well: the bride and groom and my other co-worker Megan and her husband. Luckily everyone he knows is very outgoing and I had a great time!
The wedding took place at work, with the ceremony on a lawn overlooking the beautiful marsh and the reception in the barn.
I've never seen the barn look so good! Normally it's filled with summer camp stuff and lots of kids. Or it has a bunch of stuff stacked everywhere in storage. Megan and I oohed and aahed at the beautiful stone work and wooden beams that we never look at because we're always distracted by kids!
And the main attraction was, of course, my plum jam! Each jar was both a favor and a place card so when I got to the table there were already a few missing. I made a total of 95 four ounce jars and three 8 ounce jars over the course of a a few weeks and I'm very glad to be finished.
I enjoyed the wedding very much and met some great new people. It's too bad this Friday is my last day at work and anything could happen while I'm in the off-season. Perhaps I'll be back but so much hangs in the balance.
