MADISON — Given their mutual love for the outdoors and active lifestyle, Laura (Tuveson) Lemieux and husband Ethan Lemieux fittingly enough were married on Conway Lake in September 2017 on Ethan’s parents’ floating dock that they had towed to the middle of the lake.
Laura’s bridal party and Ethan’s groomsmen had ferried them from separate boats to the dock, where friend/fellow skiing enthusiast/justice of the peace Carl Farnum did the honors.
