B&B’s
If you are looking at booking a B&B for our wedding, we have located two within walking distance:
Oceanview B&B
http://www.oceanviewbandb.com/
This is a small, family run B&B, and is closest to us. Easily under 5 minutes walk. They only have 4 rooms, and a communal bath room. Prices are around the $120 a night mark. Discounts available if we book all 4 rooms.
Important: They only take cash or check (US $$). No CCs!
Captain Jacks Inn
This is a little further away, but still ony a 10 minute walk. This is located in Swampscott, the next town over, and has many more rooms, with private baths than Oceanview.
This is where I would recommend you stay, unless you are allergic to the walk.
Rates from $120 - $350
I can’t stress enough ... if you require a B&B or place to stay *BOOK NOW* and let us know where, and when you will be around. If you do not book you run the *VERY REAL* risk of not getting a place. Mid October is not only the busiest time of year for New England, but there is a very large convention happening in Salem (two towns over) that week. There are NO rooms left in Salem for the entire month of October!
If you don’t get into either of these two B&Bs, you will likely end up staying in Boston, near the airport, or around a 30 minute drive from our house. There is very little public transportation to anywhere but Boston.

Registry
We’ve been asked several times what we want for our wedding, and we have no clue.
But, to stop people asking, we now have a wedding registry on Amazon.com.
Thing is, we’re both the kind of people who buy the things we want when we want them, so we’re not wanting for much. Therefore the list has lots of different stuff on it. From DVDs, to kitchen stuff to electronics.
Enjoy!
