Former Location of The Active Mind

Attraction

We say that Jared's "worlds collided" one fateful night in November of senior year of high school when his formerly rather separate groups of girl and guy friends bonded. However, the seeds of these new relationships were also planted back at The Active Mind earlier that fall.

Jared was the first to get an after-school job at this educational toy shop, but Lauren, Dave, Ryan, and Liz all followed suit. Jared had moved on to bigger and better things by then (waiting tables at Brighams!), but Lauren's friendships with Dave, Liz, and Ryan flourished.

Tragically, The Active Mind closed while we were in college and now it's some chi-chi boutique. But the memories live on...

Lauren and Jared's Wedding Map

Welcome to our wedding map! We are excited to have the opportunity to show you around our old hometown. As you all know, Concord, MA, holds a pretty special place in our hearts, and we're really looking forward to celebrating our wedding there on October 11, 2009.

Thank you to everyone who is coming in from out of town -- especially those making the trek from the west coast or beyond. Our hope is that this map gives you a flavor of our old stomping grounds and gets you pumped up for a visit yourself!
