A rustic Maine wedding

To me, Maine will always be home. So, when Alf and I were searching for a venue for our September 2011 wedding, it wasn't a surprise that we gravitated toward those in Maine. After a couple of stressful weeks (mostly because every place we liked was already booked), we found the ideal location: Kingsley Pines in Raymond. A summer camp on Panther Pond, Kingsley Pines had everything we were looking for: rustic appeal, on the water, private (we rented the entire venue for four days!), guest cabins (that could sleep up to 200), lush and gorgeous grounds, and all the firewood we could possibly ever need for unlimited bonfires. What really made our wedding weekend even more amazing was the staff.  Drew Taylor, whose family owns the venue and who is the current manager, was incredibly welcoming, gracious, and funny. His staff followed suit. We couldn't have asked for a more amazing weekend - even the rain cooperated.

Delicious donuts

For my wedding in September I didn't want to do the traditional wedding cake (mostly because I'm not a huge dessert person), so instead we went with donuts. I wasn't entirely sure how the caterer would display them (I had complete confidence that they would do an amazing job no matter what), and they ended up doing a donut tower, which didn't last long! The coconut covered chocolate donuts were out of this world.
