Shelley and Eric got married at the magnificent Blue Hill at Stone Barns a week ago Sunday. What a fantastic place. Gorgeous buildings and grounds, out of this world food, and 1st class service all around. What a delight.


And of course a first class place deserves a classy couple. Shelley and Eric were so much fun to be around. The care they showed for each other and all of their guests was so generous and thoughtful.




Shelley’s mom read from Walt Whitman’s “Song of the Open Road” at the ceremony. It’s one of my favorite poems and have never heard it read at a wedding before. So beautiful and so perfect to remember as they embark on this Open Road together:
“Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.
Henceforth I ask not good-fortune—I myself am good fortune;
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Strong and content, I travel the open road.”
