Story 

I grew up spending my summers at my family cabin on Gull Lake. I would go to  Grand View Lodge with my family all the time; my cousins and I would play in the game room and we would listen to the Mraz Brothers play at the Northwood's Lounge. Ever since I was a little girl I dreamt of getting married at Grand View Lodge and walking down the "Grand Staircase"; my dream came true! 


Advice On the Wedding Day 

Remember to always step back and enjoy the moment; give yourself 30 seconds every so often to "take it all in".

Don't forget to eat and stay hydrated! Even though you will be so busy talking with all the guests, it is important that you enjoy the food too! 


Proposal 

My husband proposed to me on Fort Myers Beach in Florida.  He proposed with a "message in a bottle" during sunset.
