A Wedding in Massachusetts

I have been worried about the logistics of attending my cousin Larson's wedding, since between travel time, the rehearsal dinner and the ceremony, I would have to stay a couple of days and miss at least one day of work. Also, I didn't know how I'd get around--Larson and his bride didn't book a block of rooms anywhere so I couldn't be sure I'd be staying near any cousins/aunts/uncles, and I might have to rent a car. The thing that worried me the most was the two-day stay--every B&B I checked out was like $150/night. What with travel costs, missing work, plus a gift, I was seriously considering sending my regreats. But I emailed my aunt Clarissa the other night and she responded saying that she'd rented a big house in Gloucester on the ocean and a bunch of relatives were staying there and I was welcome. Yay!

Furthermore, I just found out that we are closed on July 3 anyway, so the missed day of work is a moot point!
