Karen

Congratulations Karen! I met her on the T today. I was eves dropping (hey, the T is boring!) on a lady's conversation, she was talking about her son who got married in Canada over break. It turns out, Karen is her new daughter-in-law! She was sitting across from me with her husband. We talked briefly but didn't actually strike up a conversation until it was time to switch trains.



She asked me where I was going and we began conversing after we found out our destinations were nearby. Her wedding seems lovely. This is the first time I have heard of this, but she wore a sweater dress to her wedding. A red sweater dress. That's so intriguing. She painted a very quaint picture, I'm sure it was a wonderful weekend, especially since it was so close to Thanksgiving.



Karen, her husband and her mother-in-law were all so nice! They kept asking me questions about my life at BU (e.g. major, activities, etc) and I in turn learned about their lives. Karen majored in cultural anthropology and now teaches yoga a few towns away. Her husband studied at BU for some time too!

So now I have met someone on her birthday AND someone who celebrated a wedding. Yay celebrations! I'm very glad I met Karen, she was a nice lady and good company waiting for my next T. I kinda wish I could have seen her one her wedding day, I'm sure she made a beautiful bride.

  3. Thank you for sharing this moment as part of your project, Aditi, I love it! As a newcomer to Boston I've numerous times gotten on the wrong platform : )

    I'll try to share a picture of my dress once the photos come through. J and I got married last December and we wanted our wedding to be casual. This past weekend my parents in Canada wanted to throw a party and we wore similar outfits. He wore a sport jacket with jeans (to both the wedding and the recent reception!) We favoured comfort over formality, that was definitely the movivation behind it.

    It was such a pleasure to meet you!
