Autumn Backyard Wedding | Page + Jordan | By Anna

2020 has been the year of changed wedding plans. And although that was certainly true for Page + Jordan, the result could not have been better. “Our story was unique in that we originally planned to get married at Black Star Farms in Traverse City, but when the virus hit, it wasn’t a viable option for us anymore. At first, we were a bit bummed about moving the wedding to my parent’s backyard on Cavanaugh Lake in Chelsea. But it ended up being the BEST choice that we will never regret! We got to have the best day of our lives surrounded by the home where our family memories are made. The trees and lake were absolutely stunning, and it had a quaint, romantic, whimsical feeling that I don’t think we would able to get from a commercial venue. We couldn’t be happier to have the charm of home a part of our wedding day!”

Page + Jordan began their wedding day making separate preparations with their bridal party. “The morning of, I was SOOO nervous. Jordan wasn’t nervous at all… he says. I knew it was going to be the best day of our lives, but with that thought brings a lot of anticipation, fear of the unknown, and vulnerability. But when we started hair and makeup, popping champagne, and laughing and having fun, I started to loosen up and just enjoy the day!”

Before they knew it, it was time to walk down the aisle! “The funny ‘everyone has something go wrong’ moment of the day was when we were about to walk down the aisle, and we didn’t have the rings! You would’ve thought it made me super stressed as a bride, but it actually made me laugh and loosened me up while a friend zoomed back to the house to find the rings. Someone cracked me a beer, and I just had a moment to breath.”

From a breathtaking lakeside ceremony to a rocking reception, every element of Page + Jordan’s wedding was perfectly them. Page + Jordan, your wedding was beautiful. Congrats!
