It was a beautiful fall day...

Well mostly anyway. It rained on and off on our wedding day, and was far too chilly to have our outdoor ceremony. But the weather held out long enough for us to take our couple shots outside, admist some beautiful scenery!

I'm expecting our professional shots some time next week, in the meantime here are a few snaps from the Best Woman, Shira:

My train getting fluffed by the photographer...
we had a beautiful backdrop - a blue lake and colourful fall trees.

Giggling after taking some balcony shots. Love how my groom is carrying my bouquet!

Is it on straight?

We're in the midst of a whirlwind house-painting extravaganza and I haven't even had a chance to download any of the 700+ photos I took on our fabulous honeymoon. But our wedding guests were right on top of sharing some of the great photos they took of our big day!

Here's a sneak peak photo taken by the best man, Travis:


Can't wait to share more with you soon!

Making it Legal

We're getting hitched today!!!

Bride on a Budget: Floral Inspiration

Oh Martha, how I love thee. I'm not totally loving the heart shape, but think this is a sweet way to dress a table simply... and could work with so many different flowers!

I can't wait to get to work on my mums... my own mom picked up two pots of white "daisy-esque" mums last week and I think the're going to look so sweet in the mason jars. We also picked up some royal blue sheer for table runners, which will really make the white mums (and tea lights) pop!

So exctied to see everything pulled together this weekend! That's right - in just THREE days!

It's Finally Ours!

After not a very long period of waiting, the house is finally ours!



We spent all day Saturday cleaning, with much help from the mom brigade! The house hadn't seen a duster in some time.

We have lots of big plans, some for now and some as we can afford them. And I can't wait to get started!

And then there were costumes...

There are things brides must go through en route to becoming a wife... things like being dressed up by their "best" friends.

A few weeks back I had a surprise shower. I knew something was going on, but I didn't know what. Imagine my surprise when I arrived home only to be whisked downstairs and dressed up à la 1950s housewife!



I had a fabulous, and super fun 50s themed shower - at which all ladies were requested to wear pearls. So much fun!

And then a week later, I was paraded around downtown in a pink boa, cowgirl "Bride" hat and bling-ring! Fortunately it was a bit contemporary arts night downtown, and I didn't get too many strange looks {or catcalls}.



The things a girl lets her friends do to her! *lol*

Happy Turkey Day!

I hope all my Canadian friends had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend... it was chilly here {crossing my fingers we have a warm spell in two weeks!}, but beautiful!
