Reception Details and Favorite Moments:
“Our guest book was a mini canoe paddle. On the welcome table with the paddle we shared our engagement photos (which took place at Devil’s Lake in our canoe), photos of our family members out on the water, a display of a favorite poem (How I Go To The Woods by Mary Oliver), and books we love about the outdoors. We also loved the head table display where we sat with our immediate family members. Our friend performed live (voice and piano) our first dance and the mother-child song.”
