A backyard wedding at a historic Victorian home in Cheboygan, bringing two cultures into one day.
High school, cross country, summers lifeguarding at the same lake house — close in every way that mattered, just never quite there. Then his car broke down in Denver and he called the one person he trusted most. Mattes wore her mother's dress, married in '85 and altered for 2022.
