Story
Kathleen and Brett went to school together at NYU but at the time, the world was not ready for the awesomeness of this couple. But the story does not end there. Soon after graduating, Brett walked into the bar where Kathleen was working and...he was on a date with some other girl.
Seeing Kathleen, he quickly ended the date, walked the girl home and conveniently "left his credit card behind". Within seconds of dropping the girl off at her home, Brett was back at Kathleen's bar. He got his credit card...and he also got Kathleen's number.

Travel
Kilmarnock Inn
Steps from Main Street in Kilmarnock, the Kilmarnock Inn offers quaint cottage style inns. Each room has an individual layout and a private bathroom. Breakfast is included with your rate.
We have a room block here but you cannot book online. They have blocked it off to the public on the website. If you'd like to book here, please respond to innkeeper.kilmarnock@gmail.com with requests. Please responds with Name, Number of guests/rooms, bed size preference, phone number and any other special needs/requests. The innkeeper will place everyone in a lovely room (space providing) and confirm it with you. All transactions in person. We know this is unusual but please trust in the innkeeper. He runs a wonderful Kilmarnock Inn.
NOTE: the block will be released after May 15th.
Best Western Kilmarnock Hotel
We have a block here too. So please ask for the block rate using our names. Its $129.99 a night and includes continental breakfast and pool. This is a very standard Best Western. No frills but it is a new construction and very neat. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
NOTE: Room block will be released after May 15th.
Hope and Glory Inn
A former school house turned inn and restaurant, the Hope and Glory leans towards luxury while keeping some southern charm, offering a spa, bar, highly rated restaurant and tennis court and pool. It is not kid friendly (they ask for none under 12.) but if you're up for some tennis or a dip, this may be an ideal spot for you.
The Tides Inn
This place is truly the all inclusive experience. Anything you could want in lodging, and also additional amenities like golf, water sports, kids activities, large pool, spa and full service room service and restaurant. (Keep in mind golf and sports are additional to your stay.) The Tides Inn is wonderful and very comfortable. It's only a 15 minute drive to Kilmarnock and would make a very convenient stay for the wedding.
Back Inn Time B&B
Back Inn Time is in the heart of downtown Kilmarnock. It is the truest sense of a home operated B&B. The couple that runs it are absolutely lovely and wonderfully accommodating. Offering only 4 rooms, you are sure to get plenty of one on one attention. Each room offers a sink but the bathrooms are not fully private. Highly recommended for someone who wants to get to know the locals and is happy in their lovely home styled rooms.
The Chesapeake Inn
A little further a way in Urbana, (about 30 minutes drive). Urbana is a wonderful place to check out if you have the time to look at all the pretty boats. It's a lovely inn with all you could need.
