Kind friends all gather round....

It was a privilege to be at camp this past weekend for the marriage of Rosanna Nafziger and William Henderson. The gathering included family and friends from all over the country and even other parts of the world. The event was a testimony to the creative and intentional way that the two approach life in community with others.

Those in attendance were blessed by incredibly beautiful weather! Temperatures reached the upper 80s, the clear sky was bright blue....it was perfect, really. The charming couple planned every detail with caring thought. The invitations were hand-printed on a vintage letterpress. They forged their own rings from antique silver coins. The bride designed and sewed her perfectly fitted dress for Drift Creek's ancient forest setting, which created a romantic backdrop to their unique and artistic ceremony. Everything about the event, from the bride's bouquet of wildflowers and ferns to the groom strumming his guitar, reflected the personalities and interests of the bride and groom. 

Guests enjoyed artisan breads partnered with hand-crafted cheeses. 

I too was married at Drift Creek, nearly 16 years ago already...and to this day, camp continues to hold a magical place in my heart. My hope for the bride and groom is that thoughts of their celebration will forever evoke memories of abundant love from the family & friends who encircled them in the meadow where their marriage journey began.
