Kelly and Ben ~ A Lively and Joyous Wedding Celebration at Fox Point in Newington, NH

Kelly and Ben met back in college at Keene State. While they lived in the same dorm, albeit at opposite sides of the building, they didn’t meet until a mutual friend, somebody Kelly knew from high school, introduced them. While they didn’t really hang out at first, the two saw each other frequently at their dorm and would spend time with the same group of friends. So no sparks yet, until, fast forward 6 years later. A mutual friend bought a house in Dover, NH and asked Ben to come live with him. With Kelly living in Portsmouth, NH, just a few miles away, the two popped on each others dating app! They went on their first date in 2022 and the rest, as they say, is history.

The selected Fox Point in Newton, NH as their ceremony location since it was Kelly’s hometown. She had shared the location with Ben even before they were engaged and noted what a wonderful location in would be for a wedding! The spot was very special to Kelly as she had grown up attending comity events with family and friends and getting married so close to home gave the day a cozy, comfortable and familiar feeling.

One lovely added personalization was when Kelly and Ben read their personal vows to each other. The two had their third date at The Wentworth Coolidge Mansion in Portsmouth, as well as many picnics and dips in the lake and also became engaged there. It was clearly the perfect place to revisit and spend a moment together before the excitement of the full ceremony and celebration. The two also opted for an incredibly fun option for their dinner and dessert. Pizza and donuts were served to guests and there was even a signature pizza for the day! This of course was the perfect fuel for the energetic dance party that followed.

Kelly and Ben, it was great to be with you on your wedding day in beautiful Newington! Wishing you all the best and hope to see you around! 😉
