PHOTO UPDATE-The bride and groom have finally let all of their family know about the wedding so this is a shot of the happy couple. We wish them the best of luck in their lives together!



On Sunday, we had our first couple get married here at Cozy Cove Cabins. They really wanted to marry down by the lake but the weather reports were all saying ""big thunderstorms on Sunday"". I think everyone's prayers were answered. It was just a little overcast but no rain...then the sun even came out the rest of the afternoon.

It was a lovely small simple ceremony performed by someone in town. Steve and I stood up with them as their witnesses; best man and matron of honor. I was honored that they asked us to do this with them.

Although the bride brought her wedding dress, she chose to dress simpler in a white cotton dress but she did wear her veil plus the necklace and earings her Mom bought for her. While Steve was down by the lake with the groom...keeping him distracted, I helped the bride set her veil and apply those last personal touches. I cut one of my white lilies for her and tied it with a blue scarf (her borrowed and blue). The groom wore a blue shirt and trousers.

Our other guests came also and we all toasted to their happiness after. The groom was funny...before the ceremony, he said ""no I'm not nervous at all"" but after, as he was trying to pop the champagne, he said ""I am still shaking"". So, isn't that just like a guy to be so calm...but really not be

This was an elopement so we cannot show any photos yet but I will get one up after they get a chance to get home and tell everyone. Best wished to the newlyweds!
