Lauren + Colin Day One - I (Joanna) had to miss the festivities for âCamp Schwarsen,â but looking through the gallery Rhiannon brought back, I almost feel like I was there. And can we just take a moment to appreciate how she completely crushed this coverage while beautifully juggling her half-vendor, half-guest duties? đžđ
From the customized bucket hats and enamel pin trading station to the lakeside lawn games and late-night sâmores by the roaring bonfire, Lauren and Colin truly threw the ultimate summer camp reunion wedding weekend.
But my favorite moment from the Friday night gallery has to be Scottâs Father of the Bride toast. Complete with a slideshow of âFamous Camping Quotes,â it clearly had the whole room in absolute stitches and Iâm not surprised in the slightest. To everyone else, Scott is Laurenâs dad, but to Rhiannonâs son Noah, he is the ultimate master storyteller. Whether heâs spinning wild tales about a troll living under the waterfall by their house in Middlebury, or mapping out fairy gardens during our annual family trips to the Shelburne Museum for the Christmas lights, Scottâs imagination is pure magic.
Seeing him bring that same storytelling gift to his daughterâs wedding weekend just melts my heart.
Sue, Scott, Jen, Lauren, and Colin, we love your family so deeply. Saturdayâs wedding day photos are coming soon, but for now, Iâm just going to keep smiling at these Friday night camp memories. đČđïžâš
