Bleakley-Schenk

A week ago I was at Ryan and Ruth’s place and I happened to look at the calendar.

On Saturday, July 7th was written: “Get married. Quarter to 5am. The Knob. $75.”

“Ruth?”
“yeah mike d.”
“are you getting married on Saturday?”
“… maybe…”

And sure enough, they had a secret elopement!

Photos!

Let’s talk fashion. Here we have Ruth in a stylish yet comfortable dress with matching accessories. Notice the necklace and earrings. Ryan’s decision to go with a bold pink collared shirt was a wise one. The pink works well with his complexion.

Here they are exchanging vows. Notice the official paperwork of the judge, complete with official alligator clip.

“The Knob” is a pretty beach spot in Falmouth. Ryan’s sheer joy is evident in this photo.

Tim Sweetser got married too? Tim chose to go with a short sleeved collar shirt. This business casual look is particularly fitting as Tim is a mathematician and his shirt resembles graph paper. Let’s get a close up on the shirt.

See that? I do not lie.

Champagne for everyone!

Congratulations Ryan and Ruth!!!

    My favorite thing about all of this is… they wrote their secret wedding plans on a calendar hanging in their house.

    Ryan….What would you have done if it was windy that day?

    An interesting question, Kurt, obviously showing your layman’s understanding of the subtle and intricate wind patterns. Saturday was scheduled because it was a thermal day, meaning that there was no wind in the morning (hence 5 AM) and increasing winds beginning around 2pm. The only way to get wind that early in the morning is if a large front is coming through, and then winds are usually out of the north and gusty anyways.

    Your captions make this win, especially the ‘graph paper’ comment.

    Keep in mind that wind speed and direction should always be taken into account when planning a wedding.

    In the second picture I would like to challenge the comment that it is an alligator clip. I would classify a clip as “Alligator” if it had teeth…it doesn’t look to me like it has teeth.

    Hmm. good point. Apparently these types of clips are “binder clips.”
