Celebrating 62 Years of Wedded Bliss

The Inn is a wonderful place for couple and families to celebrate wonderful life cycle events. We feel very fortunate that our guests choose to celebrate with us at The Inn at Stockbridge B&B in the Berkshires. Last week we met Rose Mary & David Cole who celebrated 62 years of marriage. Rose Mary & David are a wonderful couple and an inspiration to all for a life well lived. They were married in Bad Axe Michigan on December 29, 1947. Rose Mary was a teacher for 33 years in Michigan, NY, PA & CT. Her first assignment was in a one room country school where she taught grades K-8. David managed a grocery warehouse. They now live in Chesire Ct near their daughter and family. They came to the inn with their daughter and son in law to celebrate their anniversary. They had a wonderful dinner at Once upon a Table. I often ask guests who are celebrating anniversaries what they think is the secret to a happy marriage. David and Rose Mary said the "secret is to enjoy one another and stick together on important and unimportant things." They truly seem to enjoy one another and it was a pleasure to meet them.
Len & I will be celebrating our 39 anniversary in April and think of Rose Mary & David as an inspiration. You too can celebrate all your special occasions at the Inn.

Honeymoon, New Zealand, Hawaii and the Inn at Stockbridge

Dale & Deanna Summerville took a much needed belated honeymoon at the Inn at Stockbridge. Dale's & Deanna's love story started at Stonybrook University. Dale came to Stonybrook in 2001 on a track scholarship sponsored by Asics from Waiuku New Zealand. He was on the track team for 4 years as an undergrad and was in the world championships. Deanna was a graduate student originally from Georgia. The two met by coincidence an accounting class in 2006. Dale was a student of finance and Deanna studied art history. Deanna loved Dale's accent and the two started talking about New Zealand. Dale & Deanna did visit Dale's parents in New Zealand in 2007.

Dale and Deanna travelled through Europe and got married on November 8, 2008 in Maui in a small chapel at the Grand Wailea resort. Forty six friends and family attend the festivities and 26 guests came from New Zealand.

Dale is employed by Bloomberg financial as a financial analyst and Deanna is employed by Punch fashions as merchandiser of their jewelry. Dale & Dianna live in New York at the present time however both are from small towns and the hope to live in New Zealand to raise a family someday.

Alice & Len Schiller, owner innkeepers, of the Inn at Stockbridge are thrilled that Dale & Deanna decided to visit the Inn for their belatedhoneymoon and wish this beautiful couple much success in the future. We are confident they will succeed at whatever they do.
