Wedding Day Details

The Morrison Lake Love story began on a Friday night in July 2023 at a local dive bar in Central Florida, also known as, the Florida Room. It was there that Hannah and Alex within minutes of conversation, discovered their families have neighboring lake houses on a small lake in Michigan. Hannah was initially skeptical of Alex’s alleged "Lake Neighbor" status and quickly phoned her Mom, Tammy, from the bar. Alex had the pleasure of taking Tammy’s pop quiz on Morrison Lake Life, until he gently suggested that he would rather be chatting with her daughter. Tammy quickly took to the Lake and tracked down the “Octagon House” introducing herself to Alex’s Parents, Todd and Eva, long before Hannah met them. In the first months of Hannah and Alex’s relationship, the Fall of 2023, all three of their beloved football teams: FSU, Michigan, and the Detroit Lions, had record winning seasons. Alex marks this as his divine sign – finding the love of his life and suddenly all of his football teams are winning – DESTINY!!&nbsp;A shared highlight of the unforgettable football season was rushing on to the field at the Big House together following Michigan’s victory over Ohio State.&nbsp; During their relationship Alex and Hannah have enjoyed many adventures together including kayaking with dolphins in New Smyrna Beach, ziplining through the rainforest in Costa Rica and teaching Alex how to ski in Park City, Utah. While they love adventures, Hannah and Alex also cherish the simple joys of daily life together – going for long walks on Sundays, conquering an F45 workout, or enjoying iced coffee from Dutch Bros – everything is always better together. Alex knew Hannah was the one. He got the blessing from Tammy for Hannah’s hand in marriage and planned the picture perfect proposal. Alex confidently kneeled in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, and asked Hannah to be his wife. She said YES – and they spent the following two weeks celebrating their engagement frolicking through some of Europe’s greatest cities. Hannah so distracted by the new rock on her hand – was rarely amused by sights they visited (like the Colosseum in Rome, Duomo in Milan, Lake Como, and wineries in the Tuscany Hills!!! 😉) Both families are overjoyed and seamlessly blend together, not just as Lake neighbors, but as a loving extended family. They cherish spending time together in Florida and on the lake in Michigan. Hannah's laughter fills their lives, fueled by Alex's never ending shenanigans. This match made in heaven cannot wait to celebrate their marriage with their AMAZING friends and family!! #MorLakeLuv

Book Tower HistoryBook Tower is one of Detroit’s most iconic architectural landmarks.&nbsp;Built in 1926 by the Book brothers, this 38-story tower was once the tallest building in Detroit. Designed by architect Louis Kamper, it features intricate details, a grand copper-clad roof, and a Renaissance-inspired design that makes it one of the most unique buildings in the city. Over the years, Book Tower went through some ups and downs, eventually sitting vacant for a while. But thanks to a massive restoration project by Bedrock, it reopened in 2023 as a beautifully restored space filled with a mix of residences, a hotel, restaurants, and shops. Today, it’s a perfect example of Detroit’s comeback story—historic, elegant, and full of new energy.
