On the shores of Gitchi Gami,
The Split Rock Lighthouse stands.
Saving wind tossed mariners,
From going down with all hands.
A place of rugged beauty,
Matt and Becky did adore.
Smitten by the moment,
Matt proposed his troth.
Becky accepted lovingly,
A promise shared by both.
May the light of love save us,
From life's long rocky shore.
And may the beauty of our marriage,
Shine on in Gitchi Gami lore.
