Oh Those Summer Days and Nights

Fun was on the menu when Sara And Zack began planning their wedding on Mission Point. Desiring to bring together two large families and a gang of good friends, they chose the Great Lawn waterfront setting at Mission Point Resort and their Promenade Deck as the perfect place to say “I Do”.

Sara and her sister and friends from work, college, and childhood gathered for champagne toasts and fun in a beautiful suite at Mission Point Resort. The bridemaids dresses were different shades of purple, to match the variety of lilacs in bloom all over the Island that day. The girls had gotten hair and make-up done at the Lakeside Spa and Salon. The bride’s bouquet was created by St Ignace in Bloom.

Zach, and most of his high school football team, were coordinated with the bridesmaids with mauve ties and pocket handkerchiefs. They decided to gather at the Round Island Bar, and once everyone together, they headed to the Great Lawn for the ceremony.

Zach’s former football coach and pastor of his church performed the ceremony. Lots of smiles and joy exploded and the celebration began! A wedding carriage from Gough Livery took them on a ride through the Island for photos with Christi, from Island Photo on Mackinac Island, following on her bicycle. Some of the most beautiful photos, especially during the lilac season can be had during the wedding carriage ride.

Arriving back to Mission Point, the wedding reception party could begin. DJ Michael was the perfect emcee, and the personal reception favors and appetizers were enjoyed quickly by this exuberant crowd! From Pittsburg, Sara arranged a cookie table with numerous delicious cookies for now or packaged for later. A coffee bean roaster, Zach bagged his own beans and they made for wonderful reception favors. Dinner was surf or turf, and Sara and Zach shared with one another as the bridal party and family had fun!

A beautiful wedding cake and a groom’s cake were created by Bella e Dolce, delicious and so attractive. After dinner, Zach and Sara started the dancing, followed by very joyful and emotional dances by the bride and her father and Zach and his mother. The party then went into full swing with lots of great music, drinks and even a seranade to Zach’s mom from all his highschool buddies.
