Great start to Saturday! A gorgeous morning to officiate Wayne and Cheryl’s wedding at the Avery Point Lighthouse. Congratulations to the happy couple!💕
Huge shoutout to the Stonington Borough Fire Department! When every single one of my smoke detectors decided to start going off at 3:00 a.m. and wouldn’t stop until early morning, they came right out to help and troubleshoot the problem.
The dogs were terrified, the teenagers were less than thrilled, but Mako? He was living his best life and absolutely loved meeting the firefighters! Maybe Dalmatians don’t have the title of “fire dog” all locked up after all. 🐶🚒
Thank you to all of the volunteers for answering the call in the middle of the night. You truly are the best!
