Couldn’t have been better weather today to tour @montgomeryplacebard and learn about Janet Livingston Montgomery’s vision—originally completed in 1804 with renovations by A.J. Davis in the 1840s.

Shout out to @grantq2, our intrepid host for the week, who keeps things moving.

Then it was back to Edgewater for the annual soundscapes workshop by @amrevmuseum’s Allie Cade, where we “toured” the sounds of the Hudson and 19th century industry that defined Barrytown.

@weston.___ worked his magic, as usual, to keep the 21st century Edgewater looking perfect.

In honor of one whole month married, sharing some of the little details that helped make our day authentic to us ✨

First, instead of an official wedding party, we had these awesome cutouts made of our girls Darla & Macee and they stood at the altar with us as we said forever 🐾

Then… in honor our four legged girls, we asked guests to consider donating at least one item for @acctphilly, the shelter that first found Darla. Probably our favorite detail, because man did our loved ones show up! These donations will greatly help @acctphilly in the coming winter months, and we can’t wait to drop them off together in early November. #adoptdontshop❤️

Shawn’s boutonnière (and all the dad’s) was wrapped in a piece of my brother Brandon’s shirt & had “Heather” flowers included…

(You don’t even need to see his face to know how handsome Shawn is)

My bouquet was also wrapped in Brandon’s shirt and had Heathers… 💙

My twin cousins and best friend Daria who gave speeches at our wedding, and several of my closest ladies had corsages with Heathers in them and a blue flower for Brandon 💙.

An @uno themed ice sculpture because we love board games and collect all different kinds of UNO decks 🃏

Gold Pom Poms to wave when we entered instead of napkins, and honestly all weddings should use Pom Poms. We bought the whimsy!!! ✨

Oh and instead of table captains, we had table Ben Franklin’s with hats from the @amrevmuseum in true Philly fashion. @samsellspanj was MADE for this roll. They kept the party going and the vibes up all night. 🇺🇸

Our candle sticks were navy blue and chosen by Shawn to match his suit and my shoes. We had a whole romantic moody vibe going 🕯️

@beautifulbloomsevents you truly outdid yourself.

My engagement ring came from @stevensingerjewelers where Shawn’s dad bought his mom’s ring. Our wedding bands were custom made with @frankdarling and are matching black & white diamonds 💎. Except mine only has 3 black diamonds to represent the years we were together before marriage.

Shawn had his nickname for me engraved in my band (god I married a good one)!!

As a wedding gift, Shawn went back to @stevensingerjewelers to get me a matching peridot necklace a

It's been a banner year for the Museum of the American Revolution as Philly celebrated America's 250th anniversary. On Nov. 4, come to the P&P for a behind-the-scenes look at how the Museum pulled it all off with Matthew Skic, the Museum's Director of Collections and Exhibitions.

He'll speak to WHYY arts and culture reporter Peter Crimmins about the process of curating nationally and internationally renowned exhibitions, the Museum's experience during the Semiquincentennial, and the Museum's plans for its 10th anniversary in 2027.

Plus, learn how the Museum highlights the role of 18th-century printers and media in sparking the ongoing American experiment, both in its ongoing 250th anniversary exhibit, The Declaration’s Journey, and during its upcoming Power of the Press night later in November.

Today, we honor and celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day by recognizing the cultures, histories, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous communities.

These photos were taken during @amrevmuseum Indigenous Peoples Weekend in 2024, which featured traditional Lenape social dances performed by members of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, cultural demonstrations and storytelling with Indigenous living history interpreters, hands-on wampum belt crafts, and educational activities exploring Indigenous peoples’ experiences during the American Revolution.

May we continue to honor Indigenous communities and celebrate their stories and traditions every day.
