Carolyn, Jeremy, and the wedding party in their backyard.

The Magic-themed wedding cake.

Southridge and Forest Home area branch manager and AVP Carolyn Lyrenmann got married last month, in a Magic: The Gathering–themed wedding at home.

“We were originally going to do a 300-person indoor wedding in December, but due to COVID, we decided to have immediate family only in our backyard,” she said. “We wished we could have had everyone with us, but were happy we were able to do something.”

Carolyn’s husband, Jeremy, played Magic competitively before they met. “I showed interest, and he got me my first deck for Valentine’s Day in 2018. I have been hooked ever since,” she said. A Reddit post with a picture of their wedding cake got over 3,000 likes and 121 comments. Forbes dubbed Magic the “world’s most complicated game” in an article last year.
