REMINDER...for Saturday (Oct. 4)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New England Destinations

Unique Nuptial Crafted by New England-Based Concierge Service

Captures National TV Attention

WHO:      Bride, Dawn Marie Scarpini and Groom, Brendan Sean Sullivan

WHAT:     Enlisted the creativity of New England Destinations to
          fuse their ideal - but contrasting - wedding scenarios
          into one, spectacular event that will be profiled by Diane
          Sawyer on Primetime's November wedding special entitled:
          "VOWS"

WHEN:     Saturday, October 4th at 5:30 pm

WHERE:    Wedding to take place at Steep Hill Beach on the Crane
          Estate, Ipswitch, MA, http://steephillbeach.thetrustees.org.
          The reception will follow at the Golf Club of New England,
          Stratham, NH, www.golfclubofnewengland.com.

WHY:      The bride and groom each had their hearts set on very
          different wedding surroundings, summertime beach and winter
          landscape respectively.  Looking for help to reach a
          compromise, but still retain their marital-day visions, the
          couple sought the assistance of New England Destinations to
          make their "big day" a success, while retaining the seasonal
          nuances that reflect their personality.

HOW:      At sunset, Dawn will arrive on shore at Steep Hill Beach by
          boat flanked by her bridesmaids accessorized with hand-muff
          warmers and boas of tropical flowers.  The bride will
          promenade - bare foot - along the shoreline to join the
          groom at a candle-illuminated, sandcastle altar.  The guest
          are requested to wear Hawaiian-type shirts and dresses,
          doves will be released upon conclusion of the vows.

          The reception at the Golf Club of New England will reflect
          more of the winter wonderland theme. Guests will enter the
          area through an ice tunnel and blowing snow to find
          glistening ornaments, an ice sculpture and Christmas trees
          adorned with stockings containing wedding favors. A
          traditional New England clambake will be served and the
          wedding cake will be an exact replica of the sandcastle
          altar.

Media are welcome to attend the wedding and reception. Interviews may be arranged with Dawn Marie Scarpini and New England Destinations in advanced.
