Welcome to our Wedding Site!

Dearest Friends and Family,

We are thrilled that you will be joining us (or are at least exploring the feasibility of doing so) on Cape Cod for our wedding. George's family has been coming to the Cape for over a century and has offered to put this blog together to help those less familiar with "The Cape" realize all that is available to vacationers.

George and I spent a beautiful month together on Cape Cod, Boston, and Vermont last summer. It was then when we realized that we wanted to spend our lives together. It is a magical place, and we hope that you are able to use this resource to help make the most of your trip.

We thank you in advance for making the effort to join us. We hope and expect it to be a wonderful event.

With Love, Deirdre and George

Activities: What to do when you are not actively celebrating the wedding.


This will have a series of things that are fun for people to do while on vacation on Cape Cod.

Athletic: Running, Swimming, Bicycling, Golf, Beach. There is plenty to keep you busy.

Sightseeing: JFK Memorial, Hyannis Harbor Tours, Duck Boats

Exploring: Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Provincetown, Chatham

Ice Cream! (and other restaurants, if you must)

On your trip, not to be missed is Four Seas Ice Cream, in nearby Centerville. Four Seas has arguably the best Coconut and Black Raspberry flavors of ice cream in the world, not to mention George's favorite, Mocha Chip. We particularly like it because the owner only hirers local high school students with Honor Roll grades to staff the counter. There are no cash registers, so the "scoops" have to be quick with numbers.

As July approaches, check back to find other recommendations for restaurants.

Traveling to Cape Cod

Deirdre and George are getting married in the village of Yarmouthport, which is near Hyannis. Hyannis is accessible by land, sea, and air, with land being the most common and least expensive choice for most.

Air: Most people who fly to Cape Cod actually fly into Boston's Logan Airport and either drive or take a bus to Cape Cod. There is a small plane commuter service into Hyannis, but the costs are often prohibitive. Hyannis is less than 90 minutes for Boston's airport by car and there is a REALLY convenient bus service that picks up at the terminal and delivers one to Downtown Hyannis. There are also the usual Car Rental options.

Land:
Hyannis is less than 90 minutes from Boston. Link to google maps to find your way.

Sea: This was a bit of a joke, unless you plan to spend time in Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard prior to the wedding. That said, both Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard are beautiful and shouIf that is that case, you can take a ferry from both of those islands into Hyannis.
