Just Married Cathy Collins and Joe Cassin Cathy Collins and Joe Cassin got engaged on Mackinac Island in 2022 after traveling to Michigan to visit Cathy's daughter at U of M. Cathy and Joe fell in love with Mackinac Island and St. Anne's Church. They travel back the following year to find a venue and selected Stonecliffe trusting the vision for their event. Their wedding weekend started Friday with a private family mass downtown at St. Anne's Church with their children. The Mass was led by Father Leonard who also participated in the wedding ceremony on Saturday. After their Friday Mass the family enjoyed a dinner at Woods Restaurant before heading to Grand Hotel for evening dancing. Saturday was the main event. The wedding was held on the back lawn with a view of the bridge in the background. The reception was in the Sun Set Pavilion at the newly transformed Inn at Stonecliffe. The couples first dance started with a choreographed routine to "The Time of My Life". It was an incredibly beautiful weekend of events for Cathy and Joe, ending with their outdoor reception under a gorgeous nights sky.
