a weekday wedding?

why not?!?
these past two days, a. & i had a fantastic time celebrating as our good friends tied the knot this last tuesday.  we took advantage of the opportunity for a little stay-cation & after an evening of dancing and fun, we spent the night in a quaint motel in clayton, ny.

the wedding was spectacular.  we were among many friends, most of which had been stationed with a. during his last two deployments.  the camaraderie among these men and women is so strong and their experience fostered lifelong friendships.  so needless to say, we were among great company.

the bride & groom arrived by boat and had an intimate dock-side ceremony.

after the ceremony, they offered rides through the bay in antique boats, had a slew of lawn games, and an awesome sunset.  the wedding took place on the patio of the clayton antique boat museum.  this was such a rad venue and the perfect backdrop for a unique tuesday wedding.

we spent the entire next day on the water.  after brunching with the happy couple we borrowed paddle boards and took to the bay.  it was fantastic.  if you've never had the chance to paddle board, hop to it.  the first time we sup'ed was in costa rica.  we aren't able to do it often, but when we do, we fall in love all over again!

all said & done, this was a great excuse for a brief getaway and the perfect day to celebrate a new life of love and adventure.
