David & Amanda’s Wedding Part 2

Amanda Bidwell • June 1, 2012

After the wedding

 

As soon as we got to the Old Mill Inn (Archive), we went to bed. We were tired after a long day from the wedding.  Around 3 AM, Amanda got up when she heard people in the hallway talking. One person she heard in the hall said, “Look what happened.” Amanda looked out the window and was amazed to see the fire so close to us. I was still sleeping: she then got me up, and we both went downstairs and outside to see the fire. I got these pictures.  The fire being so close to the power lines caused the power to go out that night and into the next morning, so they had no power at the inn to make us breakfast. They did, however, have Dunkin' Donuts and coffee for us and fruit. They also gave us $20 to go out for breakfast. They were very nice there and did take care of us. None of us minded not having Power. It was an interesting event after all. The owner of the inn thinks the owner of the mill started the fire.  We were told by many people that he had a long history of being a shady dealer with relatives and friends. Besides, it was raining that night, and there was no power to the mill. The place had been empty for years. We were also told the owner was not able to pay the taxes on the place.  Although we did not get any sleep that night, the fire made for a great honeymoon.
