Wedding date: June 16, 2012

Wedding theme: DIY/Outdoor

Guests: 80

Budget: $15,000

Best moment: “The fireworks at the end of the night. (A gift from two of our guests). It was a nice surprise and all our nerves were gone from the day and we were just enjoying our evening with friends and family,” says Marcia.

Favourite detail: “Matthew’s favourite details were the DIY place card holders,” says Marcia. “Mine were the framed pictures of parents and grandparents on their respective wedding days.”

Wedding song: “How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You” by Marvin Gaye. “We chose this song because it’s a classic and it was easy to dance to,” says Marcia.
