Good Ol’ Hockey Game

Jennifer Scott and Bobby Brooks, August 21, 2009, Ottawa, Ontario. By Rebecca Essegern

The Wedding Day
Wedding date: August 21, 2009
Guests: 250
Wedding theme: Classy hockey
Her best moment: “Standing in the gazebo after signing our marriage licence and holding Bobby’s hand. I knew there was nowhere else I wanted to be."
His best moment: “Watching her turn the corner and walk down the aisle with her dad.”
Best surprise of the day: “It was pouring rain at noon, and we thought our five o’clock ceremony was going to be moved indoors. To our surprise, the clouds cleared and the sun came out around two o’clock.”
What they would have done differently: They wish they’d gotten married earlier in the day. “Waiting until 5 p.m. to see and talk to each other on such an exciting day was the hardest part.”
Advice they would give to other couples: “Try and enjoy every moment because the day goes by so fast, and you’ll want to remember it all.”
Wedding song: "Have a Little Faith in Me,"by John Hiatt. “We chose this song because one day it came on the radio, and we danced to it in the kitchen.”
Favourite wedding gift: “New phones from our registry—they’re a big improvement over the old one.”
The day in three words: “Game, winner, good.”
Honeymoon: The pair enjoyed a holiday at Sonesta Great Bay Beach Resort in St. Maarten.
What made her day: “Dancing with my new husband at the end of the night, and knowing I wouldn’t have changed a thing.”
What made his day: “All of our family being there to share the day with us.”
Favourite wedding detail: Jennifer and Bobby had black hockey jerseys made with their monogram on the front, and “Brooks ’09” on the back for the wait and bar staff to wear.
