Many moons ago when I worked in Walt Disney World (in the Magic Kingdom), I made some dear friends. It just so happened one of these friends was getting hitched this past September in Michigan!
After a 2 minute discussion, Doug and I had decided we must attend! We booked our flights and patiently waited for the date to arrive
We arrived in Detroit late on a Thursday night after work. We grabbed a hotel room and crashed. The following morning we rented a car and drove 4 hours across the state to get to Traverse City.
Traverse City is on Lake Michigan and is the furthest North I have been in the US. (Previous to that Jackie and Pat held the record for me in Albany, NY only a few short years ago! Wait, I am completely lying. Seattle and Alaska are further north. Let’s say it the the furthest North I have been on the East side of the Mississippi!)
Here I am pointing to where Traverse City can be found.
BOY WAS IT COLD THAT WEEKEND. Evidently, they had freakishly cold weather blow through. I was freezing!
We checked into the hotel, got ready, and headed to the Rehearsal Dinner.
It was apple season in the Midwest! So perfect! The apples were so good.
It was amazing to see my Katie
and to finally meet her Chris.
The Rehearsal Dinner was amazing. So sweet – there was a slide show, toasts and great people everywhere!
Courtney and Katie! Future sister-in-laws!
It was a lovely evening. I am so glad we could make it for the Rehearsal!
Next up, the wedding!
Love and Hugs, Lizzie
