About the Couple
Bride: Lara Nesplak
Groom: Eric Reimer
How they met: Although Lara and Eric technically met during a first-year university sociology class—when Eric finally gathered up enough nerve to approach Lara, only to have her suddenly get a call on her cell phone and unknowingly turn away from him—they were formally introduced on Lara’s birthday by a mutual friend. Eric told Lara that he remembered her from class a few years back and a very flattered Lara was touched by Eric’s thoughtfulness.
Engagement story: On their first night in their new home, Lara and Eric had planned on having a casual dinner on their living room floor—or that’s what Lara thought. Eric on the other hand, had a different idea in mind. “Eric picked me up from my parents’ house, and we swung by our favourite Chinese restaurant to pick up some takeout,” gushes Lara. “When we arrived at our new house I unlocked the door and was blown away. Eric had arranged for his brother to sneak over to the house and light a hundred little tea-light candles. There was a beautifully set table in the middle of the room, complete with champagne and flowers. I thought the wonderful surprise ended there, but just as we were finishing dinner and chit-chatting, Eric said, ‘There is one more thing I wanted to ask you.’ Then he got down on one knee and proposed! It is amazing that every time we sit in our living room, I remember that this is the spot where we decided to spend the rest of our lives together.”

I am a devoted blog-stalker of luckygirl (www.luckygirl.ca/blog) and saw the post they did of this couple and it's unbelievable. As usual there are so many amazing photos. It's like something out of a magazine.
