The Wedding Day:
Wedding date: October 19, 2008

Her best moment: “After walking down the aisle with my mom and dad I got to hold Kevin's hand. It was such a rush of emotion.”
His best moment: “That's an easy one, when Cheryl walked arm and arm with her mom and dad towards me at Casa Loma.”
What they would have done differently: “Nothing. It was the perfect day and night!”
Advice to others: “Get as much as you can done ahead of time. Stay in the moment. Everything will get done and the most important thing is to embrace the moment and the day. Oh, and take time for just the two of you to step back and watch the night from afar.”

Fave wedding gift: “The unconditional love and support from our friends and family.”
Fave wedding detail: “Liberty Group made everything so special. Nick and Dallas made every detail perfect!”
What made her day: “Kevin—the look and huge smile on his face; also, our wedding party, friends and family. The love in the room was so overwhelming.  Lastly, my first dance as a Foley was one I will never forget.”

Honeymoon: Two weeks in Hawaii.
The day in three words: Greatest day ever!
