Alone Time after the ceremony

Our Time on the Lake

(All photos by Sabine Scherer)

One of the best things we did (how many times have I said this so far?) was take a canoe ride out in to the lake right after the ceremony. We got to connect and relax together and rather than being bombarded by our guests, we got to sneak up on them as cocktail hour had already started.

When we got to the dock my brother had rigged up our canoe with champagne and champagne glasses - which was a great surprise.

My husband (yay) rowed us out into the lake, shook up the bottle, and popped it open.

We chatted and were excited to see all of our people and all of our work finally coming together. I had worried the whole time planning that I would forget something or that it would seem like a "fake" wedding. It didn't. It was magical.

(we found out months later that Bubb's dad was video taping us on the lake and somehow between the echo on the lake and his amazing video camera, he recorded most of what we were saying - so beware Leonard Lake couples :)
