Hidden in Minnesota’s Northwoods is a secluded island bursting with colors, falling leaves, and young love. Nick and Natalie were always planning a small weekend-long celebration with their closest friends and friends. They had Ludlow’s Island nearly to themselves, a private getaway far from anything “2020,” and run strictly on island time. The ceremony, performed by a friend, was followed by dinner, drinks (beer pong), and a bonfire. No dancing at this party- instead, Nick and Natalie hauled a small Bluetooth speaker to the far side of the island and shared a private dance all to themselves.
