What a beautiful setting for a wedding! The day was perfect and the rain held off so that the ceremony could go off without a hitch. What makes this story more special is that the bride’s great grandmother got married on this same family farm many years ago.
The farm is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, right outside the town of Lake Linden. The wedding coordinator had created a rustic farm theme with the decorations and by providing strawberries in baskets for the guests as they arrived.
The bride and the bridesmaids all arrived to the wedding ceremony in a stretch limousine. As they got out of the limo, I performed “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” for the bridesmaids’ processional. For the bride, the song she chose for her entrance was “Canon in D.” The couple had a unity sand ceremony, which was accompanied by the popular song “Unchained Melody.” As the couple exited the ceremony, I played “King William’s March.”
