We recently attended a perfect wedding near Rhinebeck in upstate New York, and found so many things to love about the area. It's expensive (um, $15 sandwiches...what?), but we stayed at the charming Beekman Arms bed and breakfast and discovered the adorable Oliver Kita chocolate shop just around the corner.

The bride and groom left Kita's gold-dusted miniature chocolate Buddhas in our room as a welcome gift. I tried to treasure mine, but they were too good to save, and they were perfect with the inn's complimentary decanter of sherry.
