Newlywed Ninja

We married a celebrity here at Keswick Vineyards! Our Ninja Warrior contestant, Mike, married his dream girl, Lauren, on June 11th.

Being all the way from California, they knew they wanted to incorporate many unique ideas to their vineyard wedding so that their friends and family were attending a one of a kind event. Having spent time in France, the couple decided to give a nod to the Pont des Arts (Paris’s Lock Bridge). At the lock bridge, couples write their names on locks, seal them on the bridge as a commitment to love, and then throw away the keys in the river below. Lauren and Mike featured a mini version of it at their wedding!

After a successfully sunny ceremony, guests were ready for the reception and Lauren and Mike were ready to make their grand entrance as husband and wife. Instead of doing a traditional first dance, this singing couple decided on a “first song”. They took to the dance floor and sang their first song together in front of the ones they loved the most. Later on in the night, Mike surprised Lauren with a special song he’d written just for her!

The Cozy Caravan Club made an appearance for their first time ever at Keswick Vineyards and whipped up homemade cotton candy as a late night treat. Guests loved their creative flavors and we were able to capture some cute photos of Mike and Lauren enjoying their first taste!

Big congratulations to our newlyweds. Enjoy your honeymoon in Switzerland!
