Jenna and Josh's Wedding

Sometimes in life the fairy tale becomes reality.  A life long friend got married last month and a fairy tale certainly describes her relationship and wedding. 

The wedding was in Door County, Wisconsin.  This was my first trip to Wisconsin, and it easily vaulted it's way to the best Mid-Western state on my list.  Scenic countryside blended seamlessly with farm and ranch land.  Large open spaces typified the landscape.  This time of year everything is green and alive.  I am pretty sure that even my brown thumb gardening skills would be transformed to success in the rich soil.  Door County is a long peninsula which is bordered on one side by Lake Michigan and on the other by Green Bay.  Both Lake Michigan and Green Bay give the penisula a very Maritime feel.  Door County is covered with State Parks and historic, though currently active, lighthouses. 

Here are a few picture from around Door County.

Green Bay is where Josh was raised and where his family resides.  The wedding itself was at Josh's mother and step-father's home.  Jenna and Josh exchanged vows while overlooking Green Bay.  I don't think it could have been more perfect.

The reception was just as fun and magical as the wedding.  We got to play "all messed up" with cousin John while terrified family members looked on.  It was pretty great.

I don't know when we will be back to Door County, but I can say that I am looking forward to a return trip.
