The Wedding Day:
Wedding date: August 31, 2008.
Guests: 250
Wedding theme: Autumn colours.
Her best moment: “Our first dance as a married couple. I felt that the entire day was so busy and such a blur that this was the first time we could really talk to each other.”
His best moment: “Seeing Corin walk down the aisle and wiping her tears away.”
What they would have done differently: “If we could control the weather it would have been a little less hot and a lot less windy, but other than that, nothing.”
Advice to others: “Planning a wedding is stressful—remember that your bridezilla will return to her regular lovely self when everything is over.”
Wedding song: “You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban. Corin has been infatuated with Josh since high school and always knew he would be a part of her wedding.
Most unexpected moment: “My father’s speech. He was incredibly nervous, and he is not a natural public speaker, but he started his speech by describing my birth like a ‘football through a cup.’ The entire room was in stitches. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at a wedding in all my life.”
Fave wedding detail: “My dress.”
What made her day: “Being overwhelmed by how many friends we have.”
What made his day: “So many people stayed late and had a great time at the reception.”
Honeymoon: Halifax, Nova Scotia and St. John’s, Newfoundland.
