“A successful marriage requires falling in love many
times, always with the same person.”- Germaine Greer
On Saturday, November 19th, 2011, we were privileged to
witness a true fairytale come to life; our dear friends J and I tied the knot. What
began as puppy love nearly 10 years earlier, the lovely bride and handsome groom
had been dreaming about this day for a long time (and so had we!).

The picture perfect autumn day was the ideal backdrop for
the elegant affair, where 250 guests gathered at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in
our nation’s capital for a beautiful wedding ceremony, where the blushing bride wowed in a one-of-a-kind Vera Wang gown, followed by cocktails
and a superior soiree to be remembered.

The ballroom was laced in warm tones of
cream and gold, with trendy touches like a monogrammed dance floor. The fabulous Nancy Tremblay of
Wedecor did not miss a single detail when it came to the regal
décor of crystal candelabras accented with white roses and hydrangeas.

The essence of the evening was fully captured by the

Miv Photography, a local Ottawa photographer famous for making even the most
modest of couples comfortable in front of the camera.

Delicious mini-cakes by
The Girl With the Most Cake, as well as a larger gold, black and cream work-of-art (aka wedding cake), headlined the sweet table along with other delectable treats.

With wonderfully touching speeches by the the happy couple and unique events such as a bridesmaids versus groomsmen dance-off, J and I's memorable night was full of love, laughter...and a seriously awesome after party :) We know their first 4 months of marriage, complete with a Californian honeymoon in wine country, have been incredible, and we wish them only the best for the many years ahead.

Until next time,
A & S
