We have heard from several people that our wedding was one of the nicest they've been to. Well, we think so, too! We had a true camp wedding. All of the people who stood up for Jeremy: Pete (best man), Gord, Andy, and Rob, go way back as some of his closest camp friends. My bridesmaids, Lynn and Kasse, are wonderful people Jer & I also met at camp. I knew my friend Heather from high school, but I managed to convince her to counsel a couple of times! The only one who hadn't gone to camp before was my maid-of-honor Elizabeth, and now we've converted her to a true Camp Bum and Elementary Camp Counselor!
Even the father of the bride was a camp dean/counselor. The minister was Dean Deane. We tried to get Deane and Dave both (they're a good team) but Dave was already booked for a wedding downstate. It was very special to have Deane perform the ceremony.
Our candle lighters were listed in our program as Jodi, camper of the bride; and Alissa, camper of the groom. Our friend Heather sang a solo, and four camp friends did praise songs (Ethan, Jodi, Nathan, and Kim with Adam on piano). For the instrumental music, Alan played piano.

Jake and Phil were the DJs for our reception, and Ethan and his hopping crew (Amy, Brian, April, Sarah, and Charlotte) took care of the dinner.
I used to have a lot more pictures of the wedding and reception, but these are the only ones I had saved after I scanned them 3 years ago. I will try to find more later.
