Ian and I got married the first weekend in August in 1990. However no one missed boating, not even us. Friday night the rehearsal party was at our dock on Lake St Clair, the Saturday wedding was not till 6 PM and Ian and his buddies took the out of towner's out on the lake, Sunday our boat was on the wall at Metro Beach where we had a barbecue for friends and family. The wedding itself was still a formal affair, we just jammed in a lot of boating stuff the rest of the weekend, we even took our honeymoon in Dec. did not need to go anywhere in August. A few years after that we had a run on Saturday daytime summer weddings, we were invited to like 5, we only made it to the ones we were closest to. Graduation parties are happening now, fortunately for us they are all on our small lake and we only go if we planned on being in town, we send money either way so no one seems to care that much if we are a no show, but weddings are a bit different.
