Warm Winter Romance at Catalyst at Nature Link
November 10, 2026
Josie and Max’s love has always kept them warm during the cold; the couple met while they were college students in Marquette, Michigan, and they were engaged during a snowstorm on a blustery walk to dinner.
Their winter wedding took place on a subzero day at Catalyst at Nature Link on Clark Lake. Bright and modern, their celebration of love leaned into natural beauty with an appreciation for timeless tradition. Josie walked down an aisle lined with candles and scattered with white flower petals. The sun set beyond the glass windows as the bride and groom exchanged their vows, and they were married by their pastor in what became a completely candlelit ceremony.
Outside, snow-covered pines and a quiet December hush created an atmosphere of serenity and peace. A subdued glow grounded the evening in warmth and intimacy as guests enjoyed a cocktail party in the lounge before their seated dinner. A Christmas tree twinkled in the corner, and classic florals tied the black-and-white color palette together. During his speech, Max shared that he had always wondered why he was called to the North. “Now I know it was to meet Josie,” he said. —Diane Meyer
