Despite the call for rain, rain, and more rain, the weather held out and we had an amazing day on Saturday! The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was so much fun, and we got to spend time with our favourite people. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Most of that is thanks to our wonderful families and amazing friends.
My mom and my friend Carrie, who travelled all the way from North Carolina, kept me calm during the day - even when I twisted my ankle and fell on my face on the way to the hair salon! I had thought Carrie was going to go be off exploring Toronto, but she preferred to be by my side. How lucky am I to have her? My parents were running around doing some last minute pick-ups, dropping off the dog for her puppy play-date, and helping to set everything up. My bridesmaids were amazing and helped with last minute details, geting ready, and making the day really memorable. Annette, my maid of honour, was at my house the night before assembling bouquets and sharing bits of her speech (we loved it, Nettle!). Jer's groomsmen - can I just say how incredible they all looked? They are really great guys and were there with support, jokes to keep us laughing, and really great times during the reception. Tal, the master of the music, was also incredible!
Our flower girls and ring bearers were just adorable and so much fun. The flower girls kept everyone smiling during the ceremony while they continued to throw their exra flowers long after they were down the aisle. I LOVED it! The ring bearers were too cute and took their job super seriously. Then at the reception they were dancing, having fun in the photo booth, and filling up on those smores! I hope they didn't keep their parents up all night.
It was so nice to share this day with our guests - a mix of families, new friends, life-long friends, people who are like family and have watched us grow up, and even friends from across the continent who travelled all this way just to be with us.
Our professional photos are a few weeks away, but our friends and families are slowly sharing their photos with us. We'll be posting updates with our favourite photos and moments from the wedding as they come in.
