{Tracy & Richard}
November 13, 2011
This was a wedding of close friends of mine. The bride is already very organized and assured me that she's be able to plan the wedding on her own. We helped them purchase the beverages to stock the bar -----and as you'll see from these photos - the night was an elegant one and their special day was captured beautifully.
Ceremony: Mary Queen of Peace

Destination Wedding {Jaymie and Chris}

I am soooo happy! I have just been certified as a Destination Wedding Specialist from the Wedding Planner's Institute of Canada. I am ready for any couple who'd like to get married down south, across the ocean or simply away from home. Couples require the Destination Wedding Specialist to source all vendors, venues, liaison with all contacts, help get all paperwork completed and sent in, hire interpreters if needed, form a liaison with all wedding guests, coordinate all aspects of the wedding and group events/excursions, etc. Wedding couples are a different breed of client and have different expectations of their Destination Wedding travel professional.
Below are a couple that got married in Florida....all their photos are gorgeous! I wasn't able to attend their wedding because their wedding date was around the same time as my baby's due date. However, I need to share this event...

Events on My Mind
Six years-old and there I was, playing with my dolls and
dressing them up as the bride, the maid of honour, the bridesmaids and the
flower girl. Ten years later, I planned my sweet 16 in a reception hall,
asked my parents to have my invitations match my giveaways and my cake and
pulled off my first huge event. I was 17 when I bought a wedding
organizer book since it was on sale and i just needed to have it! I have always
loved weddings. Whether it be attending them in person, or in the
movies. My bookshelves contain books for leisure, for marketing and
managing money, textbooks from my biology program and wedding books!
In my past and
current job positions, I have gained experience in research, writing reports,
analyzing statistics, designing presentations, creating budgets, and scheduling
a calendar of events. Having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in
Biology, worked as an administrative agent in the hospital, a financial advisor
for a brokerage firm, and a coordinator of an event planning company, I've
learned that prioritization is of key importance! I have been given the
opportunity to learn policies, sharpen my communication and organizational
skills, pay close attention to details and exercise the ability to work with
speed and accuracy. Personally, I’m energetic, enthusiastic and optimistic,
so, combine all of this experience with my work ethic and you have a
well-rounded certified wedding coordinator whom you will be more than satisfied
with, to plan your big day!

Wedding date: September 6 and October 11, 2008

Wedding theme: Shades of red
Her best moment: “During both weddings my view of Sathish was blocked by crowds of people and cameras flashing as I walked down the aisle. I was so anxious to see Sathish, and I was so happy when I saw him smiling with such soft eyes.”
His best moment: Watching Christine walk down the aisle.
Advice you would give to other couples that are getting married: Be happy and be calm. Remember that this is about your love for each other and the promises of your future. Have fun and enjoy your wedding as though you’re a guest at your own event.
Wedding song: "Cherish the Day" by Sade. “We both love Sade and enjoyed listening to this song together. When we had to choose our wedding song, it was perfect.”

The day in three words: Overjoyed. Surreal. Unforgettable.
Her most unexpected moment: “We were having our pictures taken at the Old Port on an exceptionally beautiful, warm and sunny day (considering we live in Montreal!). The hosts of my husband’s restaurant spotted us and gathered the rest of the staff to congratulate us by banging on pots and pans, singing and greeting us with good wishes.”Best surprise of the day: “Some of the bridesmaids, our sisters included, performed classical Sri Lankan and Filipino folk dances, and our groomsmen entertained us all with an impromptu performance to ‘Sugar Pie Honey Bunch,’” says Sathish. “We were enjoying all the shows and then my wife surprised me when she performed a Hawaiian dance. I loved that she planned that without me knowing.”
Honeymoon: Island-hopping in Hawaii.
Favourite wedding detail: “Since we love wine, our wedding favours were wine stoppers with a heart on top, which matched our wedding invitations and seating cards. Our guests were served Jackson-Triggs Red Wine, sentimental because of our first weekend getaway together when we visited the winery at Niagara Falls.”
What made her day: “The two of us were dancing and singing together on a platform as though it was our concert, looking over all our guests while they were enjoying themselves on the dance floor. Just seeing everyone we love all together in one room warmed our hearts, and it will never be forgotten.”
What made his day: “I was talking with a couple of buddies when I heard the song ‘Forever on the Dance Floor’ and had to find my wife. We danced together, and it felt as though no one was around, even though everyone had gathered around us.”
