The Hamptons nuptials brought out several NHL stars.

"Take a look at these wonderful dogs," Southampton Animal Shelter Gala Chair Greg D'Elia told the sold out Ninth Annual Unconditional Love Gala crowd. "This is the reason we're here tonight."

"When one gives, it's unbelievable how much you receive back," Wasserman said.

"This year, we consider the work and life of The Watermill Center, rather than individual artists, in retrospective," reflected Ivan Cheng.

You can celebrate St. Patrick's Day (really, really early) and Shark Week all in one weekend.

"There's no reason why we can't have clean water out here," Dr. Chad Nelsen told Hamptons.com.

"It supports the educational programs, general operating fund, collections and archives," Elizabeth Lones said.

It's summertime in the Hamptons and the celebs are ready to celebrate.

"All the money we raise tonight will go to answer the question, why is cancer a disease of aging?" Samuel Waxman shared.
