A Chic, Modern Wedding in Vancouver, British Columbia

About the couple

Bride: Vivian Wan Hang Batalha

Groom: Christopher Ross Batalha

How they met: “We went to the same high school and have known each other since grade eight,” explains Vivian. “We didn’t date then but reconnected 10 years after graduation through mutual friends.”

Engagement story: “Chris flew me to Pender Island for a weekend getaway,” Vivian recalls. “He even arranged a spa day and a fancy dinner! After dinner, we returned to the room to find champagne and flower petals everywhere. I was confused and asked why they did this, but then I turned around and saw him down on one knee with a ring in his hands.”
