It’s Wedding Season Again on MV!
This weekend my husband and I celebrate four years of marriage! Our Martha’s Vineyard wedding was so beautiful and I love to reminisce as the island enters its’ second wind of wedding season.
It was also the first week back in school, so a big exhale for the parents out there!

You have one more week to hop on a Mad Max sail in Edgartown harbor, a perfectly relaxing way to spend an afternoon. More on my recent sail here:
