When Greta and I first met over coffee, it took us until the middle of the conversation to realize that our paths had crossed 15 years prior. My aunt and uncle knew the groom’s family for years in Rochester and my parents knew the bride’s family for years from Mankato. When she told me about her vision for a destination wedding of sorts in Hayward, WI, I got giddy excited to join in the fun! Their style was apparent from the black and white polka dots on everything in sight to the heard of flowers girls with pink gerbers in their hair. Family and friends came from all over including Norway to be a part of this Scandinavian wedding celebration along the lake. After the ceremony, Greta & Brian boarded canoes and paddled their way to the reception!! When the last of the 120 children slowly cleared from the dance floor, DJ Flow laid down a smooth romantic waltz to close the night’s festivities. They had to roll me home after eating one to many Swedish meatballs!
