M&J and dozens of things to think about : )

Maddie is getting married July 1, 2017

She and Joe will be married by her friend Kelsey's husband who is a youth minister.
The vows and reception will be held at Old Swedish Church in Stillwater MN.

The Old Swedish Church was built with Opera House architecture; seating a large number of people in a room with good acoustics and unobstructed views.  There is a balcony and domed ceiling.  The stained glass windows are original to the structure.  The church is no longer functioning and was sold to a young couple who is fixing it up with event hosting as their business.  I found them on Craigslist. 

The stage area will be the center of the ceremony.  The floor dips to the stage making the dance floor on a slant.
