About the Couple
Bride: Angie Toews
Groom: Allan Lafantaisie
How they met: “We met six years ago through my boss at work,” Angie says. “I was out with my boss and his wife one night. Some of my boss's friends were meeting us. I saw Allan from across the circle we were standing in. We started chatting and soon we went out on a few dates. The relationship only lasted for a short time. After we broke up, we stayed in contact through emails and the occasional coffee or movie. There was always a spark between us and I had a feeling there was more to our relationship. Two years later, I received a phone call from Allan. He was really nervous and he told me he had feelings for me. I was dating someone else at the time but I knew if I didn't take this chance I would regret it. In my heart I knew he was the one!”
Engagement Story: “I did not expect a big, dramatic proposal. If Allan had done that it would not have been us. We had been talking about marriage and I knew the day was coming. I came home from work one day. He told me to sit down and that he would be right back. He went into our garage and when he came back, he had the ring in his hand. He went down on his knee and asked me to marry him!” Angie recounts.

I love this theme. It is light and lovely and makes me feel happy. No fuss or formality means everyone relaxes and the happy couple are enjoying the day with no details to bother with. The details are actually wonderfully thoughtful and are so suited to this wedding that they seem effortless but they look sensational. I think I will adopt a liittle "rustic" into my events.
Especially love the way the prairie setting works with the wedding glamour in the photos!

Where was this held? Was it at the Fort Gilbraltor? I am looking for exactly that kind of space for my wedding! Beautiful!
