It was really unique that we were able to surf on Big Lake right from our venue. All our guests stood on the dock watching and cheering us on!” Guests also enjoyed the beautiful and delicious wedding cake made by Liam’s aunt, featuring a filling of blueberries and rhubarb “grown right in my parents’ yard in Girdwood,” says Danika. The cake topper featured two skiers, representing the couple’s love of skiing together – their most shared passion. A special time during the reception included “speed photos” with the guests. “Each table was called up one by one and (the guests) quickly ran over and posed with us. We really wanted each guest to feel seen and that they were really a part of our important day, not just a name on a list. It also gave us a minute to thank each person for coming!”
