Jon and Brittany's wedding in Mississauga, Ontario

The story of our wedding

Jon and I are opposites in most ways. He's tall, dark and mysterious. Quiet and attentive. I'm short, blonde and not so mysterious. Easy to talk to, passionate. We mesh in the middle where we both find our quiet places. We spend our weekends on the go, varying from time with friends and family to adventuring the outdoors together. We quietly picked out an engagement ring together last January and set the wheels in motion for a wedding. Jon is easy to please, and if I liked it, he liked it.

The Glenerin was the only venue we went and saw. As we walked into the foyer, we agreed on the spot that we wanted to get married there. We got the little bit of the outdoors we wanted for the ceremony, and yet still had the elegant Inn for the rest of the night.

Day of was grim, weatherwise. Thunderstorms were predicted all day. It rained the entire time I was getting ready. We had originally been told we had to make a decision about switching to the indoor ceremony before 12pm, but were graciously granted until 3pm to make that choice. We decided that rain or shine we would do it outside, and the call for everyone to bring an umbrella went out. Thankfully, the sky parted and the sun came out just in time for the ceremony and family pictures. It rained almost immediately afterwards.
