A Day That Began with Rain and Ended in Magic

Every weather app insisted it would rain all day long. No breaks. No chances.

But Megan and Parker moved forward with calm and joy… and with the quiet belief that their day would be perfect, rain or shine.

And just like that, the skies cleared. The lake breeze picked up. And what started as a soggy morning turned into one of the most beautiful wedding days on Green Lake.

They chose The Heidel House for a reason. It’s a place full of memories, quiet mornings, and weekends spent on the water. Now, it holds the beginning of their next chapter.

How They Met

Megan and Parker met in 2017 while both attending MSOE. They were friends for years — just friends, as Megan’s family and friends love to remind her. (“He’s just my best friend!” she’d insist.)

Their friendship turned into something more over, of all things, a jar of pickles. They shared one together, and that moment marked the start of a connection neither of them could ignore. During his vows, Parker shared, “Pickles are supposed to leave you with a salty taste in your mouth; but that day, all I was left with was something so sweet.”

And truly, that’s how their entire wedding day felt: sweet, meaningful, and grounded in the kind of connection that doesn’t need to be over-explained.

Favorite Moments from Their Heidel House Wedding

From the moment the skies cleared to the final burst of fireworks over Green Lake, their day felt like pure magic.

• The Setting: Their outdoor ceremony took place right in front of the lake, framed by soft florals from Ebb & Flow Flowers and that signature Heidel House view. The water shimmered, and a warm breeze danced through as they said their vows.
• The Celebration: Guests enjoyed a classic Wisconsin spread: cheese and sausage platters, steak and seafood, and signature cocktails that flowed seamlessly into laughter and lakeside mingling.
• The Details: Custom mirror signage, a cookie and dessert table, and a perfectly timed fireworks show lit up the night sky. Their first dance melted into I’m a Believer from Shrek — the perfect mix of romance and fun.
• The Photos: Golden-hour portraits on the pier gave us some of the most timeless images from the day with glowing light, soft reflections on the lake, and two people completely at ease in each other’s company.

Megan & Parker:

Thank you for trusting us to tell this story. For your calm presence, your laughter through the rain, and the way you reminded everyone what a day rooted in friendship and love truly looks like.

Your Heidel House wedding was the perfect reflection of who you are — steady, joyful, and surrounded by people who absolutely adore you.

Here’s to a lifetime of lakeside mornings, laughter, and maybe a few more jars of pickles. 🥒💛
