Schedule

The Wedding Website of Anna Doren and Curtis Dux
We fell in love with the beautiful and historic Crooked Lake House and have personal connections to the Troy area. Our ceremony will be in the church Anna’s family attended 100 years ago and Troy is where we’ve had many dates and made memories with our friends. It means so much to us that we can make both of these places a part of our wedding day! The Crooked Lake House is located in Averill Park, a hamlet in the town of Sand Lake, just outside of Troy.
