About the Couple:
Bride: Kristy Alexander
Groom: Jerrid Brown
Occupations: Kristy is a sales assistant and Jerrid works as an IT consultant.
How they met: Kristy and Jerrid attended the same high school and had several mutual friends. Once high school ended they became friends. One night they went on a group outing, and Jerrid called Kristy the next day. For their first date the pair went to see a horror movie. Kristy remembers, “reaching for his hand and cuddling close during the scary parts.”
Favourite date: Jerrid says, “There have been lots of great dates, but our first is the most memorable to me.”
First thing that attracted you to him: “Jerrid is such a caring person. He has a warm, calming presence. He enjoys having fun and can easily laugh at himself.”
First thing that attracted him to her: “Kristy is very cute and thoughtful. She is considerate of other people’s feelings. She tries to have a tough exterior, but she has a soft side and a good heart. Hanging out with her is a blast.”
Engagement story: Jerrid decided to propose to Kristy on the day they got possession of their new home. He put a dozen roses in their new garage with note cards reading “past, present, future.” Jerrid popped the question and Kristy said yes!
Their philosophy on life: “Karma—what goes around comes around.”

I am getting married in Calgary in the spring and I wondered how I could find out who did Kristy and Jerrid's table linens and chair covers. They look gorgeous!
