The Bridal pagoda at the Cobblestone manor

Sometimes the profound emerges from the most unlikely places in ordinary life. Like a phrase distilled from the shroud of a mist...Simplicity is what happens when the details are stripped down to their bare essence.

The photo of the wedding scene above is taken at the Cobblestone Manor. The lawn has been set with lawn chairs. The entire stage has one simple purpose...the uniting of the bride and groom. The gatherings purpose to witness the love they share.

It's Memorial Day weekend, a time for remembrance and the creation of romantic memories. Simplicity distilled to it's core...unfettered and free.

The Cobblestone Manor is a historic inn and bed & breakfast located in Auburn Hills, Michigan. It is a popular destination for special events and occassions. A wonderful place to consider if you're thinking about vacationing in Michigan.

Gretchen...it was a beautiful weekend. There were a number of couples at the inn celebrating anniversaries that day.

Yvette...The Cobblestone Manor was voted by readers of the Detroit Free Press as one of the best bed & breakfasts in Michigan. I would agree...definitely worth checking out.

Thanks for your comment Carole...

Amen, George. Getting rid of distractions and excess baggage is worth it when the prize is peace & simplicity.

ILM...Thanks for stopping by.
