This is insanity.
I've been engaged for less than 3 weeks. In that time, I have:
-lost sleep
-gained 10 pounds from stress eating
-driven everyone around me crazy (or at least I feel like I have)
-come up with, and canned, over 100 ideas for everything from
flowers to music...

Our Wedding Day
*with pics*. My wedding day was the most beautiful day
of my life. It was perfect and stress-free. The weather was great. It
started at about 6:45 AM. I couldn't believe the day was here already! We
were at the salon by 8:30AM. Our hair and makeup looked great. Around
10:30AM we left the salon and went to my Aunt and Uncles house where we got
ready. Even when I was putting on my dress, I still couldn't believe it was
here. The limo arrived around 12:30PM, and it was time to go to the church.
I started to get a bit nervous when we got to the church because I was
walking down the aisle by myself. But I was still calm and it was the most
amazing moment of my life...

My exciting
proposal story. Okay, so it was totally a surprise. It
was our 2 year anniversary and we were at my FH's cottage with his family
celebrating his brothers birthday. It was the September long weekend. We had
just gotten home from a 2 week trip to France and Spain for another friends
wedding. And I was sad that he didn't propose in France, but I figured,
okay, he's not ready. So anyways, after lunch one day I was helping my FH's
brother wash dishes and my FH disappeared. After a while I went looking for
him and when I got to the bedroom there was an envelope with my name on it
and a backpack. I opened the envelope and it said something like "Here is
your mission. You must take this backpack and a bathing suit and follow the
clues to find my whereabouts. Do not tell anyone what you are doing. You
must take a photo of yourself at each new location." So I read the first
clue and it was...

Brides
rave about Latino's huge selection, 'take home' shoes & award-winning customer
service |
|
For
many, shoes are a girl's best friend. For others, the wedding day is the first
time they've put real thought into shoes that are meant to make a statement.
Latino's Shoes & Accessories is a popular shop in Cambridge that is filled end
to end with dressy, dye-able, customizable shoes of every size, style and shape.
From strappy sandals to stilettos, Latino's has the shoe you're looking for -
and the purses to match! Also carrying tiaras, bridal jewellery, men's and
children's shoes, wraps, shawls, cape rentals for winter brides, hair pieces,
luggage, swimsuits, watches, and more, The Ring spent hours in this wonderland
of accessories... and we're not the only ones.
Bonnie Pereira first became interested in shoes and accessories after years of
ballroom dancing - more specifically, Latin ballroom dancing. She found that it
was difficult to find quality dress shoes that were as beautiful as they were
comfortable - especially for dancing, where sturdiness and comfort were key.
About three years later, her husband came home to a living room filled with 300
boxes of specialty, quality, dress shoes...

Pamela Wideman uses a contemporary, fun
and personal approach to weddings |
|
Pamela Wideman's
photos are fun, sweet and contemporary. Her photography is great not
only because she's experienced and educated in her craft, but
because she loves what she does. For Pamela, wedding photography
isn't work. She meets couples at their home, bringing her portfolio
to them in their own comfort zone. To this young professional, the
best parts of wedding photography include meeting new people,
progressing her style and technique from wedding to wedding, and
gathering new ideas and new ways to show the best parts of your
wedding day. With a 'buffet-style' approach to pricing and a young,
enthusiastic personality, Pamela Wideman is a great option for any
local bride.
Pamela went to
school for photography at Fanshawe College. During and after her
studies, she assisted a major London photographer, while finding and
developing her own style. Pamela then went on to photograph
independently, in both the London & Tri-City area. Pamela has her LLPO (Licentiate Professional
Photographer of Ontario) and to date,
she has brought her style and personality to more than fifty
weddings...

When
the staff at The Ring visited with A Universal on their expansive grounds
located between St. Thomas and Aylmer, we were blown away by what we thought,
originally, might have just been another limousine company. We knew that A
Universal has been among the ‘who’s who’ in luxury transportation for over a
decade, but now we know why. By focusing on providing tons...
