TARA & GARY’S JEWISH WEDDING
Gary and Tara’s August wedding was steeped in Jewish tradition, from their preparations to the intimate details of their reception. As per tradition, the couple had two separate ceremonies: a private religious ceremony, during which they signed all the relevant civil and religious documents, including a ketubah, and a public ceremony attended by their friends and […]
M&A’S GARDEN WEDDING
July 15th, 2017 was the wedding day of M & A at the UBC Botanical Gardens. Before the ceremony, the bride and groom had a First Look at Queen Elizabeth Park, then moved to Nitobe Gardens for the bridal party portraits. The outdoor wedding was conducted under a custom-made chuppah to reflect the bride’s Jewish […]
YOU SHOULDN’T SAY “BRIDEZILLA”
I, for one, HATE the term ‘bridezilla’. When I started telling people that I wanted to be a wedding planner, more often than not, the first remark out of their mouths was something to the effect of “Do you really want to deal with bridezillas?” Not yet fully understanding the nastiness behind the term “bridezilla”, I responded […]
THE VERDICT IS IN
From the Archives, February 2016 So I may be super impatient. I MAY HAVE asked him Thursday night after we were in bed. He MAY HAVE said yes! I am in such a stupid state of giddiness. I had this whole plan to do the nitty gritty on Monday “Irish tradition” and all, but what’s […]
THAT NERVOUS TINGLY FEELING
From the Archives, February 2016 We’re just days away from the proposal now (5 days, eep!) I’m as nervous as… well someone who has something to be really nervous about. I’m not great at similes. Everyone knows now. Well, not everyone, but all my important people know. The girls who will be my bridesmaids, my […]
BRAIN CLOG OVERLOAD
From the Archives, Feburary 2016 I spent a great part of today with menu plans for our wedding. Now that I know that the planning will be starting in less than a month (with any hope), I can’t tell my brain to stop making plans. I have a preliminary budget made, I have the menu […]
RAMBLE ON WEEK 2
From the Archives, February 2016 Everyone in my office knows I’m doing this now. Everyone is supportive; T even thinks that Jim and I will pop the question on the same day. I’m going to aim to ask him as late in the day as I can, just in case, but I wouldn’t be surprised […]
JUST A PEEK REVEALS IT ALL
From the Archives, February 2016 I’ve wanted to be a wedding planner since I found out that was actually a job people have (I must admit, Jennifer Lopez had something to do with that discovery). As a child I followed my father around in his industrial kitchens, wondering when that door would open again so […]
