An Elegant Wedding in Markham, Ontario

Wedding date: February 20, 2011

Wedding theme: Elegant vintage romance and roses

Guests: 350

Best moment: “Dean pulled off a huge surprise. He planned an elaborate song and dance number and changed the words to Disney’s ‘Be Our Guest’ to ‘Meet My Bride’. Most of the bridal party was involved, and I was totally shocked and thrilled. It was so well done and people are still talking about it,” Michelle recalls.

Favourite detail: “Everything was so perfect and such a satisfying product to all my planning. The flowers were so beautiful, and the band did such an awesome job. The party went until 2:30am and the dance floor was packed like a club all night. Plus, Dean’s little sister Erin made our cupcakes and wedding cake. They were so beautiful and so delicious,” says Michelle.

Wedding song: “When You Say Nothing At All” by Ronan Keating. “When we were 19 we spent our first Valentine’s Day having a romantic evening. Dean had made this romantic playlist and then recorded himself saying a sweet message. The next song after the message was ‘When You Say Nothing At All’ and it has been our song ever since,” explains Michelle.
