Mike and Karlie's wedding in St Catharines, Ontario

The story of our wedding

Not your typical fancy wedding with beautiful photography, but the memories are more beautiful than any photograph.

Mike and I met at College over a decade ago, and finally decided to tie the knot. I always thought May 18th was something important, which it never was, so I made it something important by getting married on that day :)

Wednesday Wedding, A small 7 people Ceremony with a "budget bride" and the day was perfect. I made my own bouquet, I hung my own wedding arch, made my own ailse with some curtain rod, command hooks and drapery.

Everything went great, the decor looked nice and everyone had a wonderful, fun time. Made a lot of precious memories. You do not need a huge wedding to have a great time, don't put too much work on yourself if you don't need to. You can watch the recorded ceremony by searching: "The Hatcher Wedding" on youtube, will be the first to pop up, you know its me by the red hair hah!

Everything at the wedding can and will be worn again at some point, a beautiful $60 summer dress turned bridal with the addition of a waist belt, shawl, $3 veil from dollarama lol no joke it looks fabulous way better than the 15$ one from party city. More expensive doesn't mean nicer. And the groom in a $12 jacket looking handsome as heck!
