My wife and a bunch of her friends did a great job cleaning it up. My biggest worry was the pier. We were married on Easter morning, 2000, at sunrise at my nephew’s home on the lake. With all of us standing at the end of the pier, I kept envisioning one of those funniest-video scenarios of the whole thing crashing down and everyone tumbling into the water. Fortunately, that didn’t happen. In fact, everything turned out perfect. Even the timing. Just as we were pronounced husband and wife, the sun burst out over treetops in the distant horizon and sprayed the lake with beautiful blue and orange rays. It was such a beautiful and meaningful event to us that we decided to celebrate our anniversay each Easter, rather than on the date of Easter that year.
