	For two years, Mary and Sam, who both worked at Crain's, used to walk home together after work to their respective apartments on the Upper East Side. When they began dating, Central Park became "an important component of our relationship — we ran, biked, and walked there," says Mary. So the Boathouse was a no-brainer for their late-summer wedding. The wedding had a New York theme: Instead of numbers, tables were named after New York City streets. Party favors were matchbox taxicabs with JUST MARRIED painted on the rear windows.
