Love could be found in all kinds of places at Great Stage Park on Friday at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.

While Jake and Courtney Marosky were getting married and having a photo album’s worth of pictures made near the Ville and Grove in Plaza 7, restaurateur Tim Love was giving a cooking/grilling demonstration in Plaza 9 to a couple dozen fans who had signed up for the privilege of finding out his secrets for grilling the perfect steak.

The two had attended Bonnaroo in 2013 and at first joked about the idea of saying their “I dos” at the festival, but the more they said it, the more it sounded like a good idea, Courtney said.

As people congratulated them and others took pictures, Jake joked that he had put together “a pretty lineup for the music” for the wedding.

“We can have our first dance to Muse,” he said with a laugh.
