Nolan and I drove up to Crosslake on the 20th to see the wedding of his longtime friend, Liam Conger. On our way we passed a long line of cars driving off the lake near Garrison at the end of an ice fishing tournament. It has been so warm in Minnesota so I was surprised so many cars could be on the lake without the ice giving way!
We arrived just in time for the bride and groom to walk down the isle to the tune of the bagpipes! Both Nolan and Liam grew up in Cook and then they were roommates for a year in college. Everyone would joke about how their dorm must have been the quietest in history; both boys were pretty silent in those days.
It was fun to meet so many people in Cook that had a large influence on Nolan over the years including the mother of the groom who was his elementary music teacher!
One of the fun personal touches to the wedding were the Norwegian Wedding Cakes made by the mother of the groom. To break the cake the bride and the groom try to grab as many rings as possible from the top down. Tradition says that the number of rings they grab is how many children they'll have.
