John and Nancy's wedding in Edmonton, Alberta

The story of our wedding

Our engagement, how I got proposed to was a big surprise for sure. We got engaged at Lake Beaumaris Castldowns, so breathtaking and so peaceful. I ended up getting surprised by my husband's family after the proposal. I had one and a half years to plan the wedding. I did everything myself – no wedding planner. I had such beautiful decor, including balloons. Our wedding day was so amazing. All the kids were in our wedding party, including my grandson who is 6 months old walked me down the aisle in my son-in-law's arm. My husband's daughter-in-law walked him down the aisle. The ceremony took place at Chateau Louis & Conference Centre in the Gazebo, it was so beautiful, breathtaking. The staff treated us so well. The food, the prime rib was amazing. We will never forget our special day.
