IT SNOWED FOR JULIE & MATT'S WEDDING DAY

The night before, to be exact. We woke up to a still December morning, the snow dusted on the ground and on the trees. I just love that that happened. December is maybe the only month of the year you hope for snow, but rarely ever get it, and it came. Matt and Julie are the proof that falling in love can be simple, that there is delight to take in the first snowfall of the year, that there is nothing like listening as an entire room sings a made up summer camp song about you and your story. They are also the proof that trustful love is the best kind, proved in the act of recording, many years ago, your first thoughts about the boy you were talking to, and how one day you and him would get married. Real love is trust that whatever bad comes along it will always be worth it to go it together. Well, their 'one day' arrived on a Saturday in December, and here is a small taste of how it unfolded, from our eyes and hearts as we saw it..Julie and Matt, you know we love ya. Thanks for making a day as fun and down-to-earth as your lovely selves. We loved being there, we are still remembering it all, thank you for your trust in asking us to come and play a small part. xo, jennTheir wedding took place at the lovely Victoria Park Pavilion in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario | December 2012

ON A RAINY FALL DAY SUSIE MARRIES GREG

The girls helped Susie load the van with the flowers and overnight bags, we all squeezed in and started the half hour drive out of the town where the wedding would start later that afternoon, to the cottage Susie & Greg had rented for their wedding weekend. This is where the girls would grab a quick lunch, pick up a few things and put on their dresses which were waiting inside the house before driving back for the ceremony. Past beautiful colours up and down a winding road through the trees (a VERY winding road, let me add), they chatted about the day and about memories as the rain continued to come down outside the windows. We finally arrived to the cottage, a beautiful cottage overlooking the sound, a retreat in the middle of nowhere, no cell reception, just quiet, so perfect. We started to unload everything from the cars and everything seemed fine. Until we realized that nobody had the keys to the front door....Thankfully, after scouring the outside for a hidden extra key (no luck), trying our phones everywhere around the front yard (no luck), we found a door around the back that had been left unlocked -- how this happened, nobody really knows. We literally had no time to drive all the way into town and back before the wedding started. All I know is that it was a day full of magic and a couple just excited to be getting married to each other above all else. A perfect day really. xo, jenn
