Chris and Lindsay shared their wedding day with guests from all over the world. It was a stunning day filled with sparkly silver chairs, blue uplighting, and snowflake gobo lights on the floor. It felt like a winter wonderland inside Clyde Iron Works while it was dreary and windy day outside in Duluth, MN. I am so delighted for Chris and Lindsay to continue their lives together as husband and wife. Congratulations!

Geoff and Eling’s love story started with a few enduring text messages, followed by a three-hour phone conversation and a six-hour first date. By the second date, both of them realized that this was something special that neither one had experienced before. They became inseparable. Less than a year later Geoff proposed at Interstate Park in WI overlooking the St. Croix river. When the moment was right, Geoff got down on one knee and presented her with a little blue box tied with a white ribbon. He was so excited about the whole thing that he almost forgot to ask her the magic words. Once he asked for her hand in marriage, her answer was YES!
Eling wanted snow on their wedding day, and she got it, along with a bitter Canadian wind. Inside, the fireplace warmed our hands and hearts as Geoff and Eling exchanged vows. They almost eloped but instead choose to invite their closest family and friends to unplug and unwind in the great North Woods.

This love story starts in high school, that’s right, high school sweethearts. Alex and Abi needed dates to prom and connected through a mutual friend. They both ended up having a great time together and have been inseparable since that night. The two exchanged vows at Greysolon Ballroom in Duluth just a few short blocks away from where Alex proposed at the Portland Malt Shoppe. I’m so happy for you two and thrilled to have been a part of your big day. Congrats.

In December of 2014, Jake and Molly attended the Christmas themed Sigma Chi “rooms party.” Molly was talked into the eventful night by her sorority sister, Kathryn, and did not regret it. Jacob is an alumnus of Sigma Chi that was reliving the good ol’ days for the night. The two met over a competitive game of flip cup and quickly parted ways. Molly was drawn to the dimpled faced, santa hatted, 80’s red blazered gentlemen. Throughout the night Molly’s sorority sister and Jake’s fraternity brothers devised a plan to get the two together. They decided to meet for dinner at Sidetrack’s in Ypsilanti, MI. They sat at the window seat on a snowy night and quickly became best friends.
Since 2014 the two have traveled to many places together. Some of there favorite places have been Hawaii, Niagara Falls, D.C., Seattle, and their all-time favorite Frankenmuth! Fun Fact: Jake proposed to Molly on Easter in Frankenmuth on “their” bridge.
Jake and Molly tied the knot with traditional Irish Hand Fasting at Most Holy Trinity Church in Corktown which is one of the oldest churches in Detroit. It’s only fitting that their honeymoon was traveling Ireland.
I’m so excited for you two and thankful to be a part of your big day.
Congratulations!

There are two things I learned about Michigan weddings, first is AC/DC’s Thunderstruck is an excuse to drink, and The Village People’s YMCA is an excuse for the groomsmen to undress after said drinks.
Casey and Diana’s officiant, wrote a special poem to celebrate their love and recite during the ceremony It goes something like this.
“Love Me Tinder” by Tyler
A boy who operates trains
And a girl who loves Norah Jones
Were seeking companionship
Using only their phones
Vigorous swiping occurred
So fast as to let a breeze in
For her, Just in “Case”
For him, He was looking for a good Kirzan
The two connected
As a result of impeccable game
What had started as a dry, flammable material used for lighting fire
Had ignited into a glorious orange flame
The attraction was pungent
Much like a sweet vermouth
A young love would blossom
And lead them to Duluth
Love me tinder
As far as the eye can see
And thus ends the story
Of how Casey for the D
Daina’s wedding accessories.
