It's Time To Get Married


And pick up my daughter (Andi) & her sweetheart (Antoine)
in Portland Maine and drive them back to Rockland Maine.
I haven't seen her in 2 years.
We were never apart more than 2 months 
until my move to Maine.



My dear, dear and beautiful Mom!
Has been the most loving and supportive....
I don't know what I would have ever done without her.
The older I get, the smarter she gets!!



This is the church we will Marry in -
St. John Baptist Episcopal Church.
Father Peter Jenks will marry us. 
He has been great support and encouragement to me 
since I arrived on the scene.
I consider him my friend and adviser.

Down the street a few blocks.....
we will have lunch here.


This is David my future husband and best friend.
I am thrilled and excited for my daughter to meet him.
(We are all Aquarius)
He wants to take us all on a sail after lunch 
in the most beautiful harbor on the east coast in America.
I want Antoine to fall in love with Maine.
My daughter already loves Maine.
She has since she was 5!!


We may sail past a few of these tall ships.




David and I will take Andi and Antoine on a day trip to see Mount Katahdin.



After spending some much needed quality time with my daughter and her boyfriend -
3 glorious days!!!
I will take them back to Portland for them to spend 2 days on their own. 
I am hoping that they fall in love with Portland and move up.

We will all drive to NYC, dropping my daughter and Antoine off to do their own thing,
and David and I will take our first trip together as Husband & Wife.

Yikes!!!!

I am a little scared & very excited!!

  3. Wishing you and David the most wonderful wedding day and many, many happy times together. Your day is going to be perfect, with Yvonne, Andi and Antoine to share it all with you both.Your images are glorious { we saw the Tall ships sail up the river Thames many years ago …. such a beautiful sight } and I can't think of anything nicer than a delicious lunch and then a sail around the harbour on such a special day.
    I am so happy for you and David, Renée and wish you both love, companionship and happiness.
    With much love from a fellow Aquarian !! XXXX

  9. Dearest Renee, you are getting married!!! I am beyond THRILLED for you, having followed your tribulations from Florida to Maine. You have no idea how I admired your courage in face of adversity (which i am going through right now). Your mother is such a dear to me.Eventhough we are yet to meet, i feel that you both have been a part of my circle of friends.
    I am actually driving to South Bristol Maine this afternoon, in much need of time out and finding some clarity. Then back to New York where I will unwind my business. I wish you all the happiness you deserve!!!

  14. How blessed to find someone that you want to share your life with. Wishing you love and all the best. You are making me want to move to Maine! I traveled there very often for a company I worked for and loved it then. I told my husband we were expecting.....while I was in Maine. Little did we know we were with "twins." Now our twins are 21 and I still remember being so full of butterflies - in Maine.- Love to you both and to your family.
