The Wedding Day
Wedding date: Sunday, July 29, 2007
Guests: 125
Wedding theme: “We decided on tones of yellow and light grey. I wanted an outdoor, casual but elegant summer wedding.”
Her best moment: “Waking up and realizing that today was the big day that I had waited so long for!”
Advice to others: Don’t get into (too much) debt. You can rationalize spending a heck of a lot of money by saying this is “your day.” Pick three things that are the most important aspects of your wedding and splurge on these. Be reasonable about everything else. Also, a great photographer can make the wedding. Always pick a good one!
Wedding song: “Across the Universe” by Rufus Wainwright.
Fave wedding gift: “My pink food processor from my Mom. Corey may think differently.”
Most unexpected moment: “I accidentally mooned the whole groom’s party and other bystanders on Granville Island on a busy Sunday afternoon. During pictures, our photographer asked me to run down the street and do a little twirl. Well, I didn’t know how far up the dress would go. Some of the best pictures we have from the day are of the wedding party’s reaction to my assets. Sean (one of the groomsmen) is literally falling over laughing!”
Best surprise: “The sun coming out for pictures when we got to Hart House. The lake was sparkling.”
Fave wedding detail: “Probably the cake stand with all the cupcakes. And whoever was mysteriously refilling it!”
What made his day: “The food.”
Honeymoon: “We took the first week after the wedding to settle down and get unpacked (and take a newlywed IKEA shopping spree!). I surprised Corey with a quick two-night trip up to Whistler. Then on the Sunday we were off to the Mayan Riviera for a week.”
The day in three words: So much fun!
