A MN Camp Wedding to kick off a year of gratitude What do I say about a wedding that happened in the before times? Before the shut downs, and the emergence of smaller weddings, and a focus on flexibility in events? About all I have to say is thank you.

I’ve been longing for the sensations of this wedding at Round Barn on Minnesota summer day – the smell of warm earth and pine, a breeze the rustles leaves and hair and fancy dresses.

I first met Molly in our neighborhood – she was in her front yard with a chain saw cutting up large pieces of a tree that had been knocked down in the storm. For our part, the storm damage had knocked out our power, and instead of being industrious, we took a walk to the coffee shop.
