Wed on Winnipesaukee


Submitted by: Gayle Nowak (bride)
Wedding date: 05/18/2008
Wedding location: New Hampshire

Our ceremony and reception were held at the luxurious Church Landing, the flagship Adirondack-style inn at The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls on Lake Winnipesaukee in Meredith, NH. I am a huge fan of the '20s and '30s so we sprinkled vintage touches into the mix like my gown and veil, Greg's Gatsby-inspired fedora and jacket, our wedding stationery and music.

Taking a break in the Adirondack chairs by Lake Winnipesaukee. Greg's brother Stephen and his pal Stephen (Steve 2.0 ha, ha) were his co-best men. My sister was my maid of honor and friend Jen (married to groomsmen and my pal Mike) was my matron of honor. There was barely a dry eye at the ceremony after Jen sang "I Will Love You" by Fisher.

Greg and his entourage share a chuckle before the ceremony. We got Greg's seersucker blazer and the guys' chambray jackets and ties from Brooks Brothers. Greg found his fantastic fedora at Salmagundi of Jamaica Plain, MA.

Awaiting the bridal stroll. My ivory wedding gown by Rina di Montella was a special gift from my Nana, who unfortunately passed away two months before the wedding. My sister picked out the gown for me, which fit perfectly straight off the rack!

Thanks Meghan and congratulations. I hope you check back here because I couldn't find another way to respond. The whole town of Meredith is wonderful. The next time you're at Church Landing, head to the lakeside. If you're looking out at the lake, there is a set of stairs to your right past the pool that will lead you to the beach. Our photographers may have arranged for the chairs to be brought down to the beach, or maybe they were just all down there. Either, it was a fun shot. I highly recommend Lexi Photography -- they were terrific!
