Their Harkness Park Wedding Story
These two met in high school in Connecticut. One of Ally and Parker’s common bonds was rowing; it was something that they enjoyed doing together.
Residing in Boston, Ally and Parker decided on a Harkness Park wedding in part to make it easy for family and friends to join them. It was a warm summer day that began with getting ready in nearby Niantic.
Understandably, Parker was a little nervous having only ever been to one wedding ever, before his own. You never would’ve guessed it though, especially towards the end of their reception when he grabbed drumsticks and Ally grabbed the mic!
And a word of encouragement for you: this couple planned their entire day themselves. By not utilizing a wedding planner, they had full control (and responsibility). Their wedding day went absolutely beautifully as a result!
