This is how you know the world is small…
2 years ago I started dating my current partner in crime, Jarrod. Jarrod’s step-mom’s nephew, Tyler, (Are you following me?) messaged me about a month ago. His wife’s brother, David, was getting married. (Really, are you following me? Because…I’m not even sure where I am at this point.)
Tyler messaged me on Facebook and said -
“Totally random questions…
do you take photos, like semi decent ones?
if not, how do you feel about controlling a cellphone to film a zoom call of a tiny tiny wedding.
are you available on Monday 1/11 in the afternoon? lol”
I proceeded to say “so fun fact….”
Long story short - on January 11, 2021, Jarrod and I made our way to Rippling River Resort Campground in Marquette, Michigan! It was a brisk but perfect January day here in The UP and the air smelled of woodsmoke along an actual rippling river. Chickadee’s were jumping from tree to tree, edison bulbs were strung across the trees, and it was a quintessential spot for a “tiny tiny wedding.”
I asked how the two met and turns out, David was in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan but set his location to Melbourne, Australia on Tinder (how cheeky.) Little did he know, Marian, who was in Peru, set HER Tinder location to Melbourne Australia. Let this be known, neither of them have ever been to Australia! * insert cry laughing emoji here *
I LOVE their story.
Marian & David said “I do” with both of their close family members surrounding them along with all their loved ones watching on a live Zoom call!
Afterwards we ventured to McCarty’s Cove and the lower harbor bell for some photos because their last name is Bell. I love connections.
They enjoyed a lovely catered dinner and drinks at The Hewitt Onion Tower (check this Airbnb out, it’s a DREAM and a gorgeous Marquette historical home!)
This day was filled with so many smiles and shared joy amongst everyone! Congrats to you both!
Hopefully you’ll make it to Melbourne for a honeymoon one day! ;)
-enjoy xoxo
