We're not sure if anyone has been reading this blog, but we'll wrap it up.
The wedding was wonderful. Despite some terrible weather Thursday and Friday, the weather Saturday the 4th (The day of the wedding) was pretty nice.
The lakeside ceremony started later than expected and we missed the quiet hours on the lake (1-3PM). As a result, there were boats and jet-skis going by detracting from the ceremony dialog a little. It was a little windy, the Bride's veil was blowing around everywhere and we dropped the unity candle event as it probably wouldn't have worked so well. In the end, the ceremony was nice and we got to greet all the people that came.
The reception was great, the catered food was excellent, and most importantly, the homemade cake was phenomenal and worth the effort. Our bridal party had some nice words for us, despite having to improv the speeches!
Following Dinner and Desert, we moved the party back lakeside. The dancing was fun, and there were fireworks all around the lake. Our DJ, a good friend, illuminated the trees with colorful LED backlighting creating quite a nice atmosphere for our evening activities.
Sunday, we had an awesome cookout with Lobster, Chicken Marsala, Penne ala Vodka, Sausage and Peppers, and a few other dishes. Eric and Greg (Grooms brother & father) did an awesome job. Since only the Bride's cake was cut Saturday, we had the entire Grooms cake (layer of carrot cake, red velvet, and white cake with blueberries and strawberries) to eat Sunday. We were happy so many people stayed for both days.
We should be getting wedding photographs back pretty soon and will post a link to the photographers site.
We also had an incredible honeymoon to Alaska. We spent some time in Anchorage, went on a day glacier cruise of the Prince William Sound, took a scenic train ride to Denali, and stayed at a neat back-country lodge, the Kantiishna Roadhouse. We'll post a link to these photos at some point too.
