Amanda and Adam’s wedding was something out of the Hollywood movies! Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself!
Tell me your engagment story
My sister and I went on a day trip to go shopping. Adam and my mother overhauled the house and arranged the most beautiful set up for the proposal. When I came home, unsuspecting of it all, there were rose petals and candles scattered everywhere. Adam was waiting for me under giant white lights that read, "Marry Me". He had a romantic dinner set up, complete with champagne and two custom made cakes.
How did you meet?
We met while completing our Master's degrees, almost 9 years ago. He is from Newfoundland and I am from New Brunswick. We made a connection with each other early on, but it wasn't until the second year of our degree that we started a relationship. He is more of an extrovert and I am more of an introvert. He brought out more of my outgoing side and I brought out more of a relaxed side of him. We balance each other out well and are each others best friends through thick and thin.
What are your top 3 Moments of your wedding day and Why?
1. First Look: Seeing each others reactions when we first saw each other as I was walking down the aisle, was our favourite moment of the day. We were both so anxious and excited to see each other. We couldn't stop smiling and didn't let go of each others hands the whole time. We felt so close and in the moment.
2. Being able to celebrate with all of our favourite people from near and far: Many of our friends and family, especially the bridal party, travelled from across the country to be with us. It was so special being able to be together and celebrate on the day, as well as the days leading up to the wedding. We will never forget it.
3. Speeches/toasts from the maid of honour, best man and our parents: Our bridal party and parents truly outdid themselves. They made us laugh and definitely made us cry. Each speech was so special and really highlighted how lucky we are to have them in our lives.
What are you top three wedding details and why?
1. Photographer: The planning of our wedding essentially started with our photographer, Sherry Brown. She understood our vision and captured our day perfectly. She was so easy going and made the bridal party feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We had a such a blastworking with her - our bridal party and guests fell in love with her and still rave about her! We will be able to look back at our wedding photos and remember what a fun and love-filled day it wasthanks to her.
2. Decor: The venue and decor turned out exactly as I had envisioned it. From our flower wall,to champagne tower, to our head table - it was elegant and romantic. Adam also had no idea what the venue would look like leading up to the day, as I wanted it be a surprise for him.
3. Music: We were fortunate enough to have a string duo play during our ceremony. It was elegant and something unique/special for us, but so many of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed it. We also had traditional/classical pop songs playing throughout the reception which further emphasized our theme and we had a lot of fun curating the playlist. And lastly, our DJ, Joe - was absolutely amazing at getting everyone up on the floor and keeping us dancing and singing to our favourite songs the whole night.
