MEGHAN & SEAN VS. "MEET JOE BLACK"

Meghan & Sean's wedding is finally here! I have been waiting for their wedding for quite some time! They are getting married @ the Aldrich Mansion in Warwick, RI. This mansion is famous for being used in the movie "Meet Joe Black" f/ Brad Pitt! Caaaaaarrrrrraaaaaazzzzzzyyyyy! Super cool! Steve has known Sean since High School. Him & some of the boys from the group are in the wedding on Saturday. We will be camped out @ the beautiful Westin Hotel in Providence Friday-Sunday. The rehearsal dinner is at Cafe Nuovo Friday & the ceremony & reception are being held @ the chapel & grounds of the Mansion Saturday. I have a feeling Meghan & Sean's big day will be nothing but TOP NOTCH! I am stoked to attend the big event. It's going to be a wonderful time w/ wonderful friends!


CAFE NUOVO



ALDRICH MANSION


BACKGROUND:
It was originally owned by Senator
Nelson Aldrich. Its construction began in 1896 and was completed some 16 years later. In 1939, the Senator’s heirs transferred the Aldrich Mansion to the Providence Diocese for a token sum. Our Lady of Providence Seminary relocated to the Aldrich Mansion in 1946. The estate is currently set on 85 acres (or 75 depending on the source). It consists of the French inspired mansion itself, a coach house, a caretaker's cottage and boathouse. It was William Parrish's mansion in the 1998 motion picture Meet Joe Black.
