31 Dec, 2017The story of our wedding
If there’s one thing we all love and remember about the East Coast, it’s the way it makes us feel. There’s rarely a better feeling than singing your guts out to “The Night That Paddy Murphy Died” at the Lower Deck, eating a donair with friends, spilling beer all over yourself and waking up the next day to do it all again. When we got engaged, we thought well, yes we could elope and leave, or get married on a beach which probably wouldn't include everyone, or just have a small wedding. Instead, we decided to make it super East Coast-y by having a venue of the Alexander Keiths Brewery, including all our friends and family and drinking lots of beer, better yet on NYE, cause why not?
We had the most beyond phenomenal day from start to finish, and I haven’t stopped thinking about how I just want to re live the magic all over again. We spent the day getting ready and being together with our closest family and friends, leading to the most gorgeous intimate evening ceremony in the courtyard of one of Halifax’s most historic buildings, with our reception following immediately after in the Red Stag Tavern only steps away. We had a live band, incredible appetizers, champagne, candy and cake, and McDonalds at midnight. And it will forever be the most incredible NYE party of my life. I couldn’t have done it without the help from so many.

You think that you're going to know how to feel on the day you get married. But one thing I've learned is that you don't know. It feels like a dream. You take it all in - but it's a dream. So many people say you'll be nervous, scared, sobbing, freaking etc. But the real thing is that there's no expectation on how you should feel. It's just important to be present, and take it all on. I still don't know how I feel - but I'm definitely going to go with "f***ing awesome" and "emotionally so happy" for now. All I heard from our guests, bridal party and those who witnessed our wedding said that it was magic. And it really, really was. It was magic. Thank you for everyone that made it all possible. I don't know how to repay you - but maybe the memories will be more than enough.
