Miss Cauldron, New York City/Austin Age and Occupation: 33, Human Resources Fiance's Age and Occupation: 33, Technology Engagement Date: October 8, 2011 Wedding Date: September 2012 Venue: Pecan Grove at the Salt Lick About Me: I grew up in the Lone Star State, but moved to NYC after college to get a taste of the Big Apple, and never left. I love baking, yoga, Mr. C, and sunshine (not necessarily in that order)! Mr. C and I met on Match.com back in 2007, and our second date was at a Texas barbecue restaurant in Manhattan. It’s only fitting that after almost five years together, we are getting married at an iconic Texas barbecue joint. (Shiner Bock and brisket, anyone?) I’m proud of the life we have built together around our love for each other, Mr. C’s crazy dog Bosley, and fun sailing adventures on our boat, and I’m looking forward to celebrating our marriage at one seriously awesome party in September.

Day eight was another cold one, and we bundled up and set out for Oxford, which we had heard was a mighty quiet little town buried in the Choptank.

Mr. C making sure we stay in the channel leaving the anchorage. No running aground for these Cauldrons!

We spotted some oystermen out tonging for oysters as we left the area (the season had just started):

He’s got a lot more oysters than Mr. C did at the museum!

It was pretty darn cold that day. By the time we got to Oxford, I couldn’t feel my feet.

Once we got the boat tied up, we decided to go for a walk into town.

The Oxford-Bellevue ferry, believed to be the nation’s oldest operating private ferry service.

We got some local insight and determined that we’d head to Pope’s Tavern for dinner.

Yep, that’s the Popemobile!

We went back to the boat, did some laundry at the marina, and got ourselves prettified for a nice dinner out. Boy was it worth it! We met several local Oxford folks, had some great conversations, and shared many toasts about all the fun we were having.
