A Lovely DIY Wedding in Winnipeg, Manitoba

Wedding date: December 31, 2011

Wedding theme: DIY

Guests: 65

Budget: $8,000

Best moment: “The wedding ceremony. All of my nerves disappeared as I walked down the aisle towards my groom. It was intimate, and candle lit, and I will never forget the vows we wrote ourselves. I was completely at ease, and full of joy, because I was marrying my best friend,” says Jessica.

Favourite detail: “Our favourite aspect was that it was such a family affair. Our siblings were in our wedding parties, my dad was the officiant at the ceremony, and the photographers at Kampphotography are our siblings as well,” explains Jessica.
