Our Wedding

It was autumn of 2023 when their story began. Josh was living in Houghton going to school at Michigan Tech, and Liz was in town visiting her friends for the weekend. They met through a mutual friend who played the role of matchmaker remarkably well. The following Friday Josh asked Liz out on a date, and when he called, she eagerly said yes. They spent the next few hours together realizing that something special was going on. By the end of the weekend they decided to start dating, and that Sunday Liz left for Cedarville. October 7th, 2023 was the beginning of who they are today, laying the foundation for their shared journey and growth. While Liz went back home to Cedarville, and Josh continued his degree in Houghton, the challenge of a long-distance relationship ultimately strengthened them both individually and in their shared faith. Over nine months, filled with the trials and joys of traveling to see each other, they persevered. On July 21st, during a visit to Josh's family in Brighton, Josh had a special surprise in store. After church on a sunny Sunday morning, he took Liz for a walk in the field behind the church, knelt down, and proposed. Of course she said yes! The rest of the story is history in the making, and they are both eagerly looking forward to the future, excited to see where life takes them.

Q + A

This Hotel is only about 10-15min from the venue! If you are looking for a quick place to stay the night, this would be perfect. The hotel has rooms blocked off for the Stevens wedding! If you call (906) 484- 1280, tell them you are with the Stevens Wedding, they will help you get a room. (Rooms are blocked off for the 10th. You must call to reserve a room.)

Travel

This is the Narnia trail, and it is the cutest little hiking trail. It’s only about a mile in, and a mile out. A great spot to check out if you are looking to stay in the area longer!To find the trail, put "Bush Bay Trail, (Narnia Trail)" into google maps or apple maps and it will take you right there.

This is a great place to find something simple to eat! There are a few more restaurants in Cedarville that are awesome too, but this would be my recommendation!

If you want to stay in the area after the wedding, Mackinac Island in only a 30min drive and a 15min ferry ride from Cedarville. If you have never been, you need to see it!

Only a 45 minute drive north on M 129. A lot of tourist activities also right on the Canadian border.
