Claire and her mom’s side of the family have a long tradition of visiting Mackinac Island every summer. This began with Claire's grandparents and has spanned multiple generations. The island has always been a special place to Claire and she always dreamed of getting married at Sainte Anne’s Church. When Claire first brought Ryan to Mackinac, he too grew to love the island. This trip was the first time Claire and Ryan discussed marriage. We know that Mackinac isn’t the easiest of destinations and we are so grateful for those who are able to attend. We cannot wait to share our 'happy place' with you!
