When I met Tori to chat about her fall wedding, she described it as a fusion of minimal, industrial and tropical. Combining the taste of creative, vibrant people like Tori and Tristan, at Ottawa’s premier waterfront wedding venue, Zibi, with the design and planning expertise of Elise from Toast Events, you can expect nothing short of a unique, artistic experience.
Rebecca and Dan’s wedding was filled with so many personal details that made their day uniquely them. Rebecca wore her grandmother’s pearl earrings and gold watch. She got ready in her childhood home, down the street from the church where she and Dan said their I dos. Her father sang her a ballad that he wrote himself while her mother played the piano in the background. Not a single eye was dry at that moment. Dan’s family surprised everyone with a video full of Canadian icons and celebrities sending them personalized best wishes. Special mentions from the one and only Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Rick Mercer, Jann Arden, Elliotte Friedman just to name a few. See the video here.
They walked into their ceremony…together. She didn’t wear a veil. The rain poured down all day long until it was time to take their photos. No assigned seating or head table - everyone sat where their heart desired. Hilary and James made their wedding completely their own and didn’t follow any tradition for the sake of tradition. This is what made their day even more special. It reflected their sharp fashion sense, attention to detail and minimalist style as well as their cottage-loving, nature exploring, wild-at-heart selves. It was perfectly them.
Claire was impressed by Sunny's online dating profile. It was simple, to the point, uncomplicated and real. Just like Sunny. Once they began dating, Sunny’s friends knew that this girl was special from the way he spoke about her and how his eyes lit up by the mere mention of her name. Her contagious laughter, sweet heart, compassionate nature and love for Missy Elliott beats was the perfect package.
This love story began far away in the Australian outback when a free-spirited Canadian backpacker met an intelligent, down-to-earth British boy during a weekend getaway with mutual friends in Airlie Beach. What started off with Gillian daring Chris to climb up a coconut tree, which he apparently didn’t do a great job of, soon blossomed into something they both didn’t expect.
