A Sentimental Backyard Wedding on Lake Nebagamon
When Karley and Erik began planning their wedding, they knew it had to take place somewhere meaningful—somewhere that had shaped their story from the start. They chose a backyard celebration at a location close to their hearts: Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin.
For Erik, the lake wasn’t just a beautiful backdrop; it was home to countless memories. He spent his childhood summers there with his family and brother, and the lake became a kind of measuring stick for life’s most important moments. So when Erik and Karley’s relationship started getting serious, he brought her to the family cabin—a true rite of passage. Karley didn’t just fit in; she instantly felt like part of the family. That trip sealed the deal for Erik, and he knew it was time to propose.
Their wedding day was full of relaxed, lakeside charm. They got ready at a cozy local VRBO, surrounded by nature and anticipation. Then, in true lake-life fashion, they made their way to the reception via pontoon boat, gliding across the water with joy and celebration. Adding a perfect touch to the day was their loyal Labrador, Kona, who served as the honorary co-captain and stole more than a few hearts.
It was a wedding rooted in personal history, shared traditions, and the beauty of starting a new chapter in a place already filled with love.
