Bethany & Anthony

Wedding Date: September 22nd 2018

The Brainerd lakes area may never be the same. Bethany and Anthony brought in their small army of friends and family from all walks of life and called Grand View Lodge their home for the weekend. I am a super fan of these two amazing people and their first meeting at the new chapel had me a little teary-eyed as I know how long they have waited for this day. Tears aside, these two know how to have fun! Becky from Grand View Lodge had all the details in place for a successful day. After exchanging promises at St. Francis Catholic Church, we made a sentimental stop at the grandparent's former home to pay tribute to the people they want to become in the world. These two are so driven that I wouldn't doubt that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to. A highlight of the day may have been our impromptu beachside sing-along to toast the happy couple before night set in. As the party went on and warm laughter and cheers filled the air, no one wanted to leave the embrace of this perfect day.
