KARA: After seven years of dating, Brian and I are married!

All week long, the Weather Channel had warned of a hurricane and the eye of the storm was supposed to hit New Hampshire just in time to drench our guests. But the rain didn't fall. Still, I played it safe and held our ceremony inside. The Bedford Village Inn looked beautiful, and in retrospect every aspect was almost perfect.  read more »

The vows: The best ever. People laughed, people cried. We wrote our own. I promised to let Brian golf on the weekends instead of doing chores and to root for the Red Sox - no matter how embarrassing their performance. He promised to support my decision to wear the highest heels possible when we go out--and let me complain about my throbbing feet afterwards.

A trip to the East End last week was met with rain, wind and cold eating away the last full week of summer. Sad for Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, whose Monday-through-Thursday vacation in Montauk was washed out.

"It rained every day," he said, after a press conference in Bed-Stuy on Tuesday. He sounded a little disgusted. "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Then it ended on Thursday late in the morning, early in the afternoon."

Mr. Markowitz stayed in Panoramic View on Old Montauk Highway, "right near Gurney's," with the Weather Channel's Local on the 8s replaying over and over inside the room. He and his wife figured, what with 100% chance of precipitation, it was time to eat.

"We went to lunch, even though I don't like lobster rolls," he said. "My favorite restaurant this week was a place called Harvest by the Pond. They really got something going. It's delicious, really delicious. It's not inexpensive, unlike Gosman's, which is mid-priced, which is why I love it."

Nightlife for the Markowitzes was spent with nightly strolls down the mainstrip in Montauk. And did they hit Gin Lane?

"I didn't go to East Hampton," he said. "I'm not into that Hamptons scene."

When the weather did finally turnaround on Thursday, Mr. Markowtiz tore off his Shelter Island sweatshirt, skipped lunch and took off for the beach.

"I gotta little tan," he said. "I had a T-shirt on and a pair of shorts and I took my T-shirt off for a couple hours."

Mr. Markowitz said he only tanned his front-side, and acquired a little farmer-tan effect. 'It's all gone by now," he said.

By Friday it was time to pack-up and come home to Brooklyn. On the L.I.E., Mr. Markowitz and his wife traveled down an empty New York-bound lane in their 2000 Toyota Avalon. —John Koblin

Assemblyman Richard Brodsky has a hobby: catastrophic meteorology. Or something like that. He's one of the experts on "It Could Happen Tomorrow," a new and ominously-titled program on the Weather Channel.  read more »

The Weather Channel is debuting a new series, “It Could Happen Tomorrow,” with an episode Sunday on what would happen if a 1938-style hurricane hit modern-day New York City. Hey--they produced one on a hurricane hitting New Orleans back in May, 2005, and used it to test pilot the series and then you-know-what happened.

Ah, brings back memories of those hearings with city Emergency Management Commissioner Joe Bruno and state Assemblyman Richard Brodsky in the fall.  read more »

If I'd listened to the Weather Channel, I would never have made it to EQ the other night.  read more »
