Recently Engaged: Jen & Tim
Jen and I had been together for almost three years but I had long known that she was the girl of my dreams! While we had discussed the notion of getting married, kids and our future together, I’m not sure she could have expected what was to come and that was just how I wanted […]

Recently Engaged: Jennifer & Cecily
It was a beautiful Saturday spent with my family, including a lovely brunch and a trip to the beach. Cecily’s parents were coming over to my parents house for supper to have a “belated birthday dinner” for her. I was nervous when we were walking at the beach that afternoon and Cecily advised me to […]

Recently Engaged: Becka & Adam
We love going camping together, so canoeing out to one of the backcountry sites at Kejimkujik National Park was something we’d been looking forward to all summer! We started the 6km canoe to our site at the worst time of day, right when the waves were at their peak and coming straight at us. Becka […]

Several weeks ago, I got out my Christmas decorations and dusted them off, complaining about their tackiness and sulking that I’d like to purchase “newer” and “better” decorations but that they were not in the budget this year. So to my surprise, I came home a few days later to see that my boyfriend decided […]

Recently Engaged: Chelsey & Brock
In November 2009 Brock asked me out on our first date. We went to Rainbow Haven, where he made an impressive bonfire and we laughed hysterically all night.

Recently Engaged: Karen & Brian
About two years ago the parent-in-laws were teasing me about when I would tie the knot with little lady. Thinking myself to be clever (and buying me a little time), I responded with the idea that I required a dowry of one goat. Eventually the wine flowed and the topic was dropped. Almost a year […]

Etiquette: Guest intentions
If I’m having a seated dinner, do you recommend having a seating plan or allowing a free-for-all? I always recommend a seating plan to ensure your family and close friends are seated at the best seats close to the head table. Without one, there can be a mad rush for the good seats, potentially leaving […]

Registry: Gifted education
What is the best way to let guests know about the registry? Is it uncouth to include this information on an invite or a wedding website? While setting up a registry should be a fun experience, it’s primarily a service you’re providing for your guests. Guests are generally relieved to discover there’s a registry available […]
