The Old Mission Peninsula is a place that holds special meaning to Paula and Jared.  It is on the West Bay of Traverse City, near Jared’s family’s vineyard, a wonderfully beautiful area. It speaks volumes to what Michigan is all about.  Water, Trees, Sand, Vineyards, and more.  As Paula and Jared planned their wedding at the Bower’s Harbor Peninsula Room, they knew the day would be incorporated with a Michigan theme and provide the opportunity for everyone to relax and have a great day.

The beautiful sunshine, a short 10 minute rain shower, followed by family and friends gathering on the shore of West Bay made for a beautiful wedding ceremony.  You could see the love between Jared and Paula and Paula walked toward Jared at the start of the wedding ceremony.  With smiles on their faces, they pledged to be best friends and love and support each other.

Jared and Paula, thank you for having us be a part of such a wonderful day of celebration.  The thought and detail and love that you put into this day was simply amazing.  I wish you a lifetime of happiness and joy!  Much love and appreciation, Rayan.
