Anne and Aaron Wedding Weekend Photos

“It was Memorial Weekend. We, along with all of Anne and Aaron’s best friends and loving family made the trip up to Callaway, Minnesota.  Destination: the INCREDIBLE Maplelag Resort.  A special place where the women in Aaron’s family gather every winter to go cross country skiing and bond over hot chocolate and cozy fires.  Without hesitation, Anne and Aaron knew the wedding had to take place at the lodge.

When we arrived, we were blown away with the property, the views, the textures, cabins, and the list goes on… but then, we saw Anne’s wedding dress… and we were really speechless. Until Anne slipped into her dress, and among many tears in the room, I was moved to silence.  Anne was more stunning than there are words in the dictionary. I am not kidding.  On their wedding day, Aaron couldn’t have been any cuter, or loved Anne any harder.  That is why rain, hail, sun, downpour, muddy puddles, and moving an outdoor ceremony inside, had absolutely no effect on how PERFECT perfect this wedding was.  In a million years, people are still going to remember this wedding.  It was that outstanding.”

The Detroit Lakes Festival of Birds is this weekend. Last night Maplelag hosted one of the events featuring a pan fried walleye meal with local wild rice, squash, fry bread, poppyseed salad and Russian creme for dessert. Al Batt was the presenter providing guests with a little bit of Minnesota humor.
