emma + remi married on the shores of sparrow lake / a delmonte in the pines wedding

and i urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'if this isn't nice, i don't know what is / kurt vonnegut

remi grew up in the north, emma in toronto but attending a camp every summer on the shores of a lake called sparrow lake... years later, on that very same lake north of the city, her & remi were married.there was bunting in every colour, & pompoms made by hand dotting the trees as they said their vows.the smell of pines & the sounds of the water lapping the rocky shore. the birds flying overhead & an old lodge in the woods that reminds one of years past.in her dad's speech, under the big white tent they'd set up in the field at delmonte in the pines resort in muskoka, he described how leading up to the wedding, they all thought that maybe a wedding at the church down the road from their family home in the city would have been a great deal easier. fire codes & port-a-potty requirements aside, there was no place more fitting than a ceremony out beside the lake. there was no where else it could have been & it was the most perfect day.a stop motion video of the day, & scroll through some images below. so much love for ya, e & r.as for the wedding... i just want a fun day, with a few moments of 'calm' in & amongst the chaos of the day -- & to be with emma. simple as that.
