Our post Sandy weekend plans were no small task. We needed to get to a wedding in Long Island in the midst of power outages and a gas shortage. Luckily, after a rental car cancellation and a mistake in our hotel reservation we were able to get help from our very generous friends, Mike and Jen, who drove us and shared their hotel room. I'm glad we were able to help someone who didn't have power by giving up one of our rooms and it made for some entertaining moments.
The town the wedding was in did not fare well in the storm, with many downed trees and wires and people not expecting to have power returned for a few weeks. It's a bad situation to be in with the way the temperature has recently dropped. The hotel was doing all they could to help people and also kindly tolerated our late night lobby hang outs.
The wedding was beautiful and I am so glad it was still able to happen. After a touching ceremony, we enjoyed some amazing food (lobster mac and cheese, calamari, mahi mahi, and deep fried oreos were involved, and that's barely scratches the surface), delicious beverages, and a crazy fun dance party during which shirts were removed and chairs were lifted in the air. It was a night to remember! We didn't take many photos because we were too busy having fun but here are a few.

Congrats Adam and Lisa! We are so happy we were able to be there and celebrate with you! If you can handle a hurricane the week of your wedding, I'm sure that together you will be able to handle anything life throws at you.
