In a ceremony on Saturday at the Amagansett Presbyterian Church, Elizabeth Talley and James King were married, accompanied by Mr. King’s children, Emily and Evan.

The Rev. Steven Howarth officiated, with music by Jim Turner, who also performed at the couple’s rehearsal dinner the evening before at Gansett Green Manor in Amagansett.

Ushers for the ceremony were Ms. Talley’s niece Elizabeth Gonnella, and Allie and Kasey Fleming, who are a niece and a nephew of Mr. King’s.

Ms. Talley’s nephews Tyler and Alexander Talley were the ringbearers. Her nieces Alexandra and Caroline Gonnella were the flower girls.

The wedding reception, also at Gansett Green Manor, was catered by Peter Ambrose. The following day, the couple were honored at a brunch hosted by Ms. Talley’s father and stepmother, Thomas and Mary Talley of Bell Place, Amagansett, and by her mother, Paulette Talley, who lives in White Plains.

Mr. King is the son of the late Linda King of Lacey, N.J. The couple live in New York City and Lacey.

Matthew Smith asked the Sag Harbor Village Board Tuesday night to give him a break and waive a $5,000 fee associated with renewing an expired building permit, because, he said, his contractor, Michael Nobiletti, failed to do his job. Mr. Smith brought a lawsuit last week claiming the contractor defrauded him of more than $1 million.

“We trusted a builder to take care of business on a project that was supposed to be four to six months,” Mr. Smith, whose house at 34 Jermain Avenue has been under a massive renovation for more than a year, told the village board. When the permit was set to expire, the builder could have renewed it for free simply by submitting a request. Instead, he was in the South Pacific on vacation, Mr. Smith said.

“That’s all a matter between you and your builder. We’re obligated to bill you,” Mayor Sandra Schroeder told him.

The matter is one for the courts now. Mr. Smith has sued Mr. Nobiletti and Nobiletti Builders, a Water Mill company, for fraud and breach of contract in Suffolk County Supreme Court.

Mr. Smith hired Mr. Nobiletti to renovate his historic house on the corner of Jermain Avenue and Archibald Way in 2013. Work began in 2015 after the village’s zoning board of appeals and architectural review board approved the plans. The renovation was supposed to cost $652,000 and be completed within six months. Mr. Smith said in the lawsuit that he spent $2.5 million over 18 months, “with no end in sight.”

The work is still incomplete. It is “riddled with defects — verified by two engineering consulting firms — that will require even more time and even more money to fix,” says the suit, filed by Mr. Smith’s attorney, Alex Kriegsman of Sag Harbor. During a recent rainstorm, rain poured in to many rooms through the roof. Mr. Smith has since hired a new contractor.

The suit also alleges that Mr. Nobiletti conspired with subcontractors to inflate invoices and demand kickbacks, and that the contractor failed to provide “basic oversight and coordination.”

In April, a month before the Smiths welcomed their second child and three weeks before a scheduled move-in date, they said, Mr. Nobiletti left on a reported $35,000 trip to the South Pacific. During that time, the building permit expired.

The suit claims that Tom Preiato, the building inspector, called Mr. Nobiletti on April 6 to inform him that the permit was set to expire and that it could be extended at no charge as long as a letter was written. Since the village never received a letter, the homeowners must now spend $5,000 on a new permit, a requirement before a certificate of occupancy can be issued. Mr. Nobiletti has refused to pay the fee, further delaying the certificate. The Smiths have been living in the house despite the ongoing renovations.

Reached yesterday, Mr. Nobiletti said there was “absolutely no wrongdoing by myself or my subcontractor or my suppliers against Mr. Smith.” His attorney, Anthony Conforti, called his client an honest contractor, and said he has never been sued before. Mistakes can happen, said the lawyer, and Mr. Nobiletti was prepared to correct them at his own expense, but was denied access to the property.

Mr. Conforti, who is also representing the subcontractors, said he had requested that the court compel arbitration, which had been included in the contract. A determination is expected by the end of October, he said.

With regard to the building permit, Mr. Conforti said Mr. Nobiletti has offered to offset the $5,000 against the remaining balance he says he is owed, but that he would not pay for it directly. “We have provided [Mr. Smith] with every document in our possession or control to get a C of O. My client has offered to get the C of O for him, because it was part of his contract. Those offers were rebuffed by Smith,” Mr. Conforti said.

Also named in the suit are Highland Construction, H&F Landscape Design Inc., Paul Bennett Construction, Jay’s Drywall, Hudson River Mills, Water Mill Building Supply, and Dash Windows.

When Mayor Sandra Schroeder addressed a crowd gathered under a tent on Long Wharf for the Party for the Park in July, she said they were making history. In her 20 years in local government and her conversations with officials elsewhere, she found that “nobody has ever thrown a fund-raiser for a village project,” she said. “Not in Sag Harbor, not on the Island before.”

The Sag Harbor Partnership, a not-for-profit dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the quality of life in the village, raised $131,025 for the village-proposed John Steinbeck Waterfront Park on Ferry Road. The board presented village officials with a check on Tuesday afternoon.

The village owns a small parcel of land already, but is in the process of trying to buy other neighboring parcels from developers, who want to build condominiums, in order to create a two-acre park with beaches, a fishing pier, a pedestrian walkway connecting it to Windmill Park, public restrooms, trails that celebrate the village history, and much more. The village is working with the Town of Southampton to use community preservation fund money for the purchase, if the developers are willing to sell. Condemnation is also being considered.

The donation, given in the form of a grant, comes with some conditions. The village cannot use the money for legal fees, and it must be used on land the village already owns or for which it has a signed agreement, according to Susan Mead, president of the Sag Harbor Partnership. The stipulations were the decision of the board and expressed to the donors. The village will furnish quarterly reports about how the money is being used. 

“This is going to be a long process, the development of this park,” Ms. Mead said, adding that she expects the money will be spent on studies, plans, and securing matching grants.

Mayor Schroeder said the village could also use it for surveys, or perhaps an irrigation system. The exact usage remains to be decided. The village already has a design, if it can acquire the adjacent parcels, from a top landscape architect, Edmund D. Hollander, a Sag Harbor resident.

Mayor Schroeder said the group initially told her it had raised $100,000. “It came in higher. I was thrilled.”

“I think it’s the biggest effort Sag Harbor has ever seen,” said April Gornik, who lives on North Haven and served as the event chairwoman. “There was a point in which we were led to understand that it was very important to have a strong show of support from the community. We organized the party so everyone could show everyone else how important it was.”

Over 100 individuals and businesses participated in the event. Works by almost 60 artists, including Eric Fischl, Joe Pintauro, Dan Rizzie, and John Alexander, were auctioned to raise money.

Asked if more benefits for the park were planned, Ms. Mead said, “At the moment, we’re all taking a big break.” The village board hopes the group’s fund-raiser can become an annual event, whether or not the park is the beneficiary.

If you were planning on spending your Labor Day weekend outside, you might want to get that out of the way on Saturday, because there is a good chance beaches will be closed to swimming on Sunday, thanks to Tropical Storm Hermine heading our way. 

Forecasts are for stormy conditions beginning Saturday. Wind from the northeast is expected to gust to at least 40 miles per hour over the bay and ocean through Tuesday. Rain is likely starting Sunday morning. Calmer conditions will return on Wednesday, with sunny skies and temperatures in the high 70s.

A tropical storm watch has been issued for the area between Sandy Hook, N.J., and Watch Hill, R.I., including Long Island and New York City. 

The National Hurricane Center's midday Friday estimate is that Hermine will regain strength as it reaches the Atlantic Coast on Saturday. It expects that Hermine will have hurricane-force winds late Sunday or early Monday, as it churns in the ocean off southern New Jersey.

"We'll be a bit on the edge," East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said on Friday, following a meeting with the town's emergency personnel. "Until we get a better clarification of the track, it's hard to determine with certainty all the impacts we may face," he said, adding that there is good reason to be concerned about beach erosion, high surf, and coastal flooding.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is forecasting that with the recent new moon, there is a potential for 3-to-5-foot storm surges during high tides. The Navy and NOAA marine forecast is for wave heights of 12 to 18 feet on the ocean starting Monday afternoon with much higher swells offshore. 

The South Fork could see three days of high surf. John Ryan Jr., the chief of the East Hampton lifeguards, said if the forcasts prove to be accurate, beaches will be closed to swimming on Sunday. "The pounding surf is going to be difficult for people to swim in," he said. He is also concerned about Tuesday, after the summer schedule ends and lifeguards are off duty, and he is considering putting lifeguards on duty because of the surf conditions. He cautioned that no one should swim in unprotected waters. 

Heavy surf is expected well into next week.

"We're going to continue to communicate as things go, but we're ready," Mr. Ryan said.

A green flag was flying Friday. "It's the calm before the storm," Mr. Ryan said. A yellow flag, meaning caution, will likely fly on Saturday, he said.

"Slow weakening is expected later in the period, but Hermine is expected to remain a dangerous cyclone through five days," Michael Brennan, a senior hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center, wrote in a forecast discussion issued at 11 a.m. on Friday.

As of Friday, Hermine's strongest winds extended east about 175 miles from its center.

With the old Morpurgo house on Union Street, nothing is ever simple. Despite there being a winning bidder at an auction held in June, the deal has yet to be finalized and, reportedly, someone has stepped forward to claim an ownership in the property.

Tom Preiato, the Sag Harbor Village building inspector, told the village board on Tuesday evening that “someone has . . . made some sort of claim,” which has held up the deal. “I can’t speak to it legally, exactly,” Mr. Preiato said.

On June 24, Mitch Winston, an Amagansett resident and developer, bid $1.325 million to purchase the blighted property during an auction that was held on the steps of Southampton Town Hall as part of a foreclosure process. Along with his partners, he planned to restore the 210-year-old house, which has been abandoned for many years.

According to court documents, Charlotte Lisi of Dix Hills filed suit on July 18 against a number of people including the lender foreclosing on the property, claiming that she had a financial interest in the property and had never been notified of the auction. It was the day before the deed was to be filed, said Mark Egerman, a Beverly Hills attorney who is a partner in the property with Mr. Winston. They were not named in the suit. A Suffolk County Supreme Court hearing on the matter is scheduled for the end of August.

The village board has publicly discussed tearing down the house, with its front porch in danger of collapse, an open septic tank, and a crumbling roof. Mr. Preiato has called it a health and safety hazard.

While the property has a chain-link fence out front that has been extended with a three-foot plastic, orange safety fence, the village had been looking forward to Mr. Winston taking ownership, as he and his partners had promised to fully secure it as they developed their plans for the property.

David J. Gilmartin Jr., the village attorney, said he had not been briefed on the ownership claim that Mr. Preiato referenced. If it is true, he said, the sale could be tied up in the courts for three years. He told the board he will research the situation later this week and report back.

“This is a property that has been thrown into crazy land for years and years and years,” said Robby Stein, the deputy mayor, as he asked the board what action it should take.

“Our action is going to be knock the damn place down,” Mayor Sandra Schroeder said in response.

Mr. Gilmartin, however, cautioned her. In order to tear down the house, the board would have to properly notice the owner. Prior to the auction’s being held, ownership was complicated enough. If someone else is making claims, “it really highlights the challenges we face,” he said, adding that the village needs to figure out the ownership rights before it “can move forward confidently.”

“Life is one big story,” Cora Weiss said late last month, over salami sandwiches and sparkling water at her home in East Hampton before boarding a late afternoon Jitney back to the city. At 81, her life story has a great many chapters.

If Ms. Weiss were ever to write a book, she would call it “It Takes More Than Ovaries.” She believes that the more “peace and justice-loving” women hold elected office, the more equitable and safe society will be.

Ms. Weiss has spent the last several months getting her affairs in order — meticulously organizing, along with a researcher, the voluminous photographs and newspaper clippings that together tell the story. “All the things I’m doing today, have their launching stories in the 1950s and 1960s,” said Ms. Weiss, who speaks slowly and deliberately.

Long before Sheryl Sandberg, now the chief operating officer of Facebook, Ms. Weiss was in an original “Lean In” generation, figuring out how to combine her roles as a wife and mother of three young children with her work as a peace activist and human rights crusader. “There are so many wonderful women in our history,” Ms. Weiss said. “I have had many shoulders to stand on.”

Ms. Weiss was born at what was formerly the Sydenham Hospital in Harlem, after her mother discovered that it had the lowest infant mortality rate in all of New York City. She grew up in Westchester County, in what she described as a “politically interesting family.” Her mother, Vera Rubin, volunteered for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidential campaign, driving through Republican-controlled White Plains to help get out the vote. “I’m not sure how many women were even driving cars then,” she said.

Meanwhile, her father, Samuel Rubin, put advertisements in a local newspaper, urging readers to buy war bonds. Mr. Rubin was a businessman who commuted into Manhattan each day. He established Fabergé, a cosmetics and perfume company, which he later sold to Unilever, and he was the owner of the property in Amagansett now known as Quail Hill.

A perpetual high achiever, Ms. Weiss won several spelling bee contests, drawing the ire of her early peers. As a Jewish family living in a predominantly Catholic and Protestant community, Ms. Weiss said she and her brother stood out, learning about anti-Semitism when their elementary school classmatesthrew stones at them during their walks to school.

After graduating from the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in the Bronx, she enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she studied anthropology. It was during the height of McCarthyism, and she cut her teeth in politics at the time, working on the “Joe Must Go” campaign, which aimed to recall Joseph McCarthy’s Senate seat. Ms. Weiss crisscrossed the state, her car with New York State license plates frequently pelted with potatoes and cornhusks. “It was my first lesson in local organizing,” she said with a knowing nod. “When you’re in Wisconsin, use Wisconsin plates.”

“Wisconsin was the nurturing place, the germinating place,” Ms. Weiss said. Soon after, she enrolled at the University of Wisconsin’s Law School. “Possibly there were one or two other women, but for some reason I was the one being called on the entire time in an effort to prove that women couldn’t be lawyers.”

During college, Ms. Weiss ran a summer camp, teaching children to swim at nearby freshwater lakes, which were often segregated by race and class, with white children more likely to learn to swim than their oftentimes poorer, black counterparts. Looking back, it was her first civil rights activity. “It consisted of me and a car full of kids,” she recalled. The kids used to take turns riding on her back, she said, and she has suffered from back troubles ever since, having to take her law finals standing up.

As an undergraduate, she met Peter Weiss, a graduate of Yale Law School, who ran the International Development Placement Association, a predecessor to the Peace Corps. The couple married in 1956, when she was 21. “I got a B.A. and a Mrs.,” Ms. Weiss said, and dropped out of law school shortly thereafter. “Women lawyers didn’t marry men lawyers, with the exception of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I had to decide who I was and what I was going to do.”

After starting and stopping coursework in public health and social work, Ms. Weiss turned her attention to issues overseas, her husband having become president of the American Committee on Africa. Now 90, Mr. Weiss is an international trademark and human rights lawyer who believes in abolishing nuclear weapons and torture. He remains hopeful that peace in the Middle East will occur during his lifetime.

From 1959 to 1963, Ms. Weiss was the executive director of the African-American Students Foundation, helping to bring nearly 800 students here as part of the “African airlift,” believing it was the moral obligation of this country to provide educational opportunities to African youth following generations of colonial rule. Many of the students who participated in the airlift later returned to East Africa and became democratic nation builders, she said. “They built the nation of Kenya. It’s amazing what the program produced.”

In 1961, Ms. Weiss joined Women Strike for Peace, alarmed at the proliferation of atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. “We learned everything there was to know about strontium-90, which was the killer chemical in nuclear bombs — and we went around the country teaching newspaper editors how to spell strontium-90 and what it was all about,” she said.

Two years later she and a group of activists, many of whom also were young mothers, stood at the White House gates, as President John F. Kennedy signed the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Jacqueline Kennedy, the first lady, took coffee and doughnuts to the women gathered outside. She continued her anti-nuclear and anti-war activism, beginning first with her work to end the Vietnam War and her later involvement in the Irish peace process — seeking a shared space for Catholic and Protestant women to arrive at an eventual compromise.

In 2000, she was among a handful of women who drafted United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325. Unanimously adopted, it called for the prevention of violent conflict, the participation of women at all levels of governing, and the protection of women and girls during armed conflict. In addition to three Nobel Peace Prize nominations, Ms. Weiss continues to serve as president of Hague Appeal for Peace, a Manhattan-based nonprofit organization dedicated to education and the abolition of war.

Since the early 1950s, Ms. Weiss has frequented the South Fork, first at her parents’ house in Amagansett. After her parents divorced, her mother built an upside-down, prefabricated house on a  piece of land in Bridgehampton overlooking Swan’s Creek.  For decades, it was the family’s primary gathering place — with authors spending time there to write books, filmmakers using it to make documentaries, and U.N. diplomats in search of rest and relaxation. She and her husband became known for large gatherings there of such visitors and friends.

More than 20 years ago, Ms. Weiss became friends with Alison Bernstein. They frequently spent time together in East Hampton, where each had a weekend house. Ms. Bernstein had directed Rutgers University’s Institute for Women’s Leadership, and in recent years the women, along with more than a dozen others, spearheaded the creation of an endowed chair at Rutgers named for Gloria Steinem, the first of its kind in the nation. So far, the group has raised $2 million of a required $3 million. In late June, Ms. Bernstein died of cancer at the age of 69.

In 2008, Ms. Weiss and her husband were looking to downsize, eventually moving to a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in a development in the Georgica area of East Hampton. It overlooks a meadow where deer, wild turkeys, and red foxes are often seen. Before they sold the Bridgehampton house, the family held a tag sale, whose proceeds established a travel fund overseen by the parent-teacher association of the Bridgehampton School.

The couple is in East Hampton most weekends, continuing to entertain at Sunday brunch. In the quieter months, Ms. Weiss loves nothing more than seeing the live broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera at Guild Hall. “For $20, you can sit up front and feel like you’re right on stage,” she said.

Ms. Weiss turns 82 on Oct. 2 — a birthday she shares with Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian nonviolent leader who led his nation to independence. When she looks to the future, she thinks mostly about her five grandchildren and the world they will inherit.

In the fall of 2008, Philippe Cheng, a Bridgehampton-based photographer, featured Ms. Weiss, along with hundreds of other East End women, in a documentary titled “On the Cusp,” about the 10 days leading up to the Nov. 4 election of President Barack Obama.

A longtime supporter of President Obama and more recently of Senator Bernie Sanders, she has now aligned herself with Hillary Clinton, albeit with some reluctance. Come November, Ms. Weiss is hopeful that Mrs. Clinton will become the first woman president. “We’ve never faced such a danger,” Ms. Weiss said, when talk turned to Donald Trump. She was unequivocal in saying that former supporters of Mr. Sanders must not only vote, but ensure that others get to the polls.

“I feel strongly that Clinton must be elected. I supported Bernie. But now, it’s time to think about ‘the Supremes,’ ” she wrote in a follow-up email, referring to the Supreme Court justices likely to be appointed in the next four years. “The future is at stake.”

“One day, we will have a feminist, peace and justice-loving president,” Ms. Weiss added, believing that change has to start somewhere, with more progressive presidential candidates likely to follow in Mrs. Clinton’s historic coattails.

While the Three B’s played classic rock for a crowd at the village green in downtown Montauk on Monday night, the Montauk Citizens Advisory Committee debated whether to recommend to East Hampton Town officials that public events be relocated away from the green.

A subcommittee convened to tackle transportation, traffic, parking, and lighting had produced a report that suggested, among other ideas, moving all events, including the farmers market, from the green to Lions Field to relieve traffic congestion in center of town. However, quite a few committee members objected to the idea and to a suggestion that events be limited to before Memorial Day and after Labor Day.

Paul Monte, president of the Montauk Chamber of Commerce, predicted events on the green, and the farmers market in particular, would not get the same kind of attendance if they were moved. The farmers market generates thousands of dollars in donations to the Montauk Food Pantry, which could be jeopardized if the market were less profitable.

“We have tried it in the past and have seen traffic drop off 60 to 70 percent when we have held events over at Lions Field versus the green in the middle of town,” he said. “To consider making any type of major change to what’s currently going on with those events would be detrimental to the community, and I think everybody should take a second look at it, because even if it involves a minor inconvenience regarding parking or an extra minute of traffic downtown, the overall community is benefiting.”

Laraine Creegan of the Montauk Chamber of Commerce said she thought vendors would begin pulling out of the farmers market if it were to be relocated to Lions Field. Parking there is also difficult because of the number of people turning out for classes at SoulCycle at the former Montauk Movie, she said.

Terry Coppola weighed in on the side of caution. “It’s very hectic” around the green, she said. “Above the profit, above the charities’ needs, is the safety of the people. They are in danger.”

Gail Simons agreed with her. “When we sat down with the Police Department, they explained it from the safety point of view,” she said. “We’re not saying to move everything from the center away, but there are certain events such as the farmers market where there’s so much in-and-out flux, whereas with a concert people come, sit, and pretty much stay. With the farmers market it becomes a nightmare for the Police Department.”

The citizens committee ultimately voted to remove the recommendation from the report, with 18 in favor of the deletion, 15 against, and 4 abstaining.

The committee also discussed at length another subcommittee’s report on businesses that fall under pre-existing, nonconforming zoning rules within the hamlet of Montauk, but tabled its approval. The subcommittee reports, which also covered topics such as affordable and seasonal housing and coastal erosion, will be submitted for consideration in East Hampton Town’s Montauk hamlet study process. Community-based workshops are planned in Montauk in September, as they were in other hamlets earlier this year.

It’s not quite on the scale of San Diego Comic Con or New York Comic Con, which have evolved into massive, days-long events that feature celebrity guests and draw fans in droves, but lovers of comic books and graphic novels on the South Fork finally have a “con” to call their own.

Nancy Silberkleit, co-chief executive officer of Archie Comics, who happens to be a part-time East Hampton resident, has planned a one-day “comic book extravaganza” for Sunday.

After taking her Archie Comics brand to a recent convention in White Plains, she thought, “Why not do one in East Hampton?”

“I’ve never really seen one in East Hampton,” she said, “so I decided that I would do this ‘pop-up comic extravaganza’ and see how it’s received. Hopefully, it will be an annual event.”

Ms. Silberkleit, who took over as co-C.E.O. of Archie Comics following the deaths of her husband and his business partner, was an art teacher for more than 20 years before beginning her second career. This year, Archie Comics is celebrating its 75th anniversary and will be one of the brands represented at Sunday’s event, which can’t specifically be called a comic con for copyright reasons.

“It’s a day of fun to draw families together to experience graphic literacy,” Ms. Silberkleit said. “This one has an underlying teaching moment that you can find if you’re looking for it.”

That teaching moment, she said, is an emphasis on kindness toward others, staying true to oneself, and having the self-confidence to rise above bullying and cruelty. It’s a message she promotes through a foundation she has formed called Rise Above. For Sunday’s pop-up comic extravaganza, Ms. Silberkleit said, she has asked artists, vendors, and other presenters to emphasize those themes in their work.

“The message there is never let anyone define who they want you to be,” she said. “You know who you are and you just have to have confidence and focus on your choices that you make, and get out there and get busy in your life. We should not be judgmental. We should step away from that and try to encourage people about feeling good, especially in the school environment.”

The event will run from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the field at 111 Cove Hollow Road in East Hampton. Artists, writers, and vendors, including the popular store Atomic Comics in Shirley, will assemble under a tent for the festivities.

Allison Groffman and Jonathan Rich were married on Saturday at the bride’s parents’ house on Stephen Hand’s Path in East Hampton. A family friend, David Goodman, performed the ceremony, and Rabbi Laurence Groffman, the bride’s uncle, said a prayer.

The evening began with pizza from the Amber Waves Farm mobile oven. Later, guests enjoyed a long-table dinner lighted by chandeliers in the trees. The meal ended with warm Dreesen’s doughnuts.

The bride wore a Naeem Khan dress and carried a bouquet created by Claire Bean. Her maid of honor was Jamie Leeds of Manhattan. Mr. Rich’s best man was his younger brother, Stefan Rich. 

The bride, who will keep her name, is the daughter of Hilary Leff and Elliot Groffman of Manhattan and East Hampton. Her husband’s parents are Diana and Gary Rich of St. Louis. 

Ms. Groffman attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and graduated from Fordham University. She is an assistant buyer for Shopbop, an Amazon subsidiary. Mr. Rich, a men’s accessories buyer for Barney’s, graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder. 

They met at Barney’s. He had been there for nearly nine years and she was an intern. Their relationship blossomed a year later, when, during Hurricane Sandy, they both found themselves at Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan. 

After a wedding trip to Italy, the couple will return home to Manhattan.

One year ago, an extensive renovation of the Amagansett Life-Saving and Coast Guard Station’s exterior was nearing completion and attention was turning to its interior. Today, with the interior renovation almost complete, the 1902 structure’s restoration committee is “down to a little bit of detail work,” said David Lys, the chairman of the committee and president of the Amagansett Life-Saving and Coast Guard Station Society. 

With that in mind, the society will host the second annual lobster bake on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the station. The event will serve as a fund-raiser for the restoration, which includes specially made doors and windows that should arrive by the end of next month. The lobster bake will also help to fund the design and installation of a museum dedicated to the United States Life-Saving Service, which merged with the Revenue Cutter Service in 1915 to form the United States Coast Guard. 

Bostwick’s, Amagansett Wine and Spirits, Balsam Farms, Gosman’s Dock, the Montauk Brewing Company, Stuart’s Seafood Market, and Amber Waves Farm are among the purveyors supplying food and beverages. Stephen Marzo and Matt Pizzorno will provide live music. 

Tickets for the lobster bake cost $150 for adults and $75 for children 12 and younger. They can be purchased in advance at Amagansett Wine and Spirits, on the events page at amagansettlss.org, or by sending a check made out to the Amagansett L.S. & C.G. Station Society to P.O. Box 51, Amagansett 11930. Ticket buyers have been asked to include all contact information including mailing address. The rain date is Sunday.

The society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has paid close attention to features of the original station, which was abandoned after World War II, auctioned by the Coast Guard in 1966, purchased by the late Joel Carmichael and moved to Bluff Road for use as his family’s residence, then donated to the town and returned to its original location in 2007. “We had everything, as far as the details of the building, in plans or sketches,” Mr. Lys said. 

The restoration is guided by a historic structure report prepared in 2011 by Bob Hefner, a historic-preservation consultant. While it has benefited from donated materials and services, costs have nonetheless been substantial. The restoration called for antique heart pine, all of it now shining with multiple coats of varnish, to match, as closely as possible, the original longleaf yellow pine. Also acquired were $1,800 worth of rosettes and doors costing a total of $47,000. “They’re all specially milled, all antique heart pine,” Mr. Lys said of the doors. “That’s the only thing we’re waiting for to finish it off.” 

New flooring, also antique heart pine, was added where needed, and crews serving sentences in Suffolk County correctional facilities installed wallboard. The renovated structure will provide an office for John Ryan, who heads the town’s ocean lifeguard staff, Mr. Lys said. 

The society hopes to endow the station with a director and provide educational tours for schools and other groups. It continues to pursue antiquity acquisitions such as the original 1908 Beebe surfboat acquired last year. Built in Greenport, it is the last such boat known to exist. It was located in North Carolina and transported to the Amagansett station’s boat room, and is on loan from the National Park Service. 

The station played a small but important role in World War II: In June 1942, four Nazi saboteurs landed on the ocean beach near Atlantic Avenue and were intercepted by a 21-year-old coast guardsman patrolling from the station, an event that is commemorated at the site every year. The society hopes that the building will ultimately be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
