The newlyweds! My friend Steve Cotterill took that picture, and has many more to view. I don't have my own pics (I was using Casey's camera) so I'll just have to swipe everybody else's; thanks Steve! It was such a beautiful wedding, at Pioneer Park in Muskegon. The wedding itself was held on the porch of a rustic-looking lodge, adorned with flowers and citronella tiki torches (darn mosquitos!), while the intimate ceremony was short-but-incredibly-sweet. Brynn wore a medieval dress and Casey donned some Indian (as in Nepal, not native american) ceremonial robes. After Brynn's brother sang a song and the couple lit their symbolic candle together, we went inside the lodge for the best feast I've had. I was astonished that I, picky eater that I am, loved every dish - and then I realized it was because everything was vegetarian! Inside the lodge, there was a large stone fireplace and a Celtic band for our enjoyment. Kirk and Supriya both gave hilarious toasts to recap the drama and heartbreak that paved the way through their relationship. Afterwards, we frolicked on the beach, then went back and made s'mores over the fire. What a great wedding! ;)
Then we all went back to our hotel and we crammed at least 16 people into our room. Jager bombs were generously distributed and we had a loud, fun time with those little party poppers - confetti everywhere! And we didn't even get in to (much) trouble! Brynn and Casey left for their mini-honeymoon at a B&B. Hope I'll see them again this summer!!
The next day, Steve, Heather and I went to the beach and went for a COLD yet refreshing swim in Lake Michigan. It felt so great to be in Michigan for the summer - last year I was in CO so I didn't get to do all the things I love, like swimming and playing on the beach.
Congratulations, Casey and Brynn!
Cool pics and an interesting diary :o)
