The Wedding of Beth Ann Cooper & Robert Zdonick, Jr., October 11, 2014
My Granddaughter
As planned Ken & I arrived at the bed and breakfast, Dexter's Inn, in Sunapee, NH, with ample time to prepare for the 5:30 PM ceremony. The rural inn is located at significant elevation commanding views of both Mt. Sunapee (sporting it's ski trail scars) and Mt. Kearsarge underscored by a sliver of Lake Sunapee. A pretty sight with autumn foliage at its peak.
My daughter, Brenda, and her husband, Joe, hosted the wedding at their newly completed home, in Sutton, as fifth generation occupants of property originally owned by my great-grandparents. The building includes an open covered porch with decorative wood-beamed structure protecting its main entrance. This became the location for the ceremony. Rows of comfortable folding chairs facing the porch accommodated the guests.
The ceremony was attended by immediate family members and close friends and was officiated by my daughter who is a New Hampshire Justice of the Peace. The bride wore an exquisitely designed white satin gown with a medium length train.
In addition to both their full-time jobs Brenda & Joe annually plant and manage large vegetable gardens. As a part of that operation they have a large tubular-frame sheet-plastic covered greenhouse that, for the wedding, they moved close to the main house and decorated for use as a reception hall. With overhead lighting, created by using multiple strings of clear Christmas lights, and groups of candle-lit arrangements surrounding a lengthy cloth covered table complete with a center burlap runner and glowing candlesticks the utilitarian structure became a protected, warm and romantic venue in which to celebrate the marriage.
