MaryAnn & Richard- August 15 2009

Mary-Ann and Richard were married at their weekend home in the Nicola Valley near Merritt, BC. They are a little bit country, a little bit city and their wedding was also a little bit of both. Mary-Ann did a great job with all the details and the day was stunning from beginning to end. Most impressively, they asked only for donations to their favourite charity, Union Gospel Mission, a wonderful east side Vancouver project, instead of gifts. What an amazing way to remember those less fortunate as you celebrate all your blessings. They wedding was also filled with lots of fun, from a kids summer camp set-up for the children attending to the all the adults taking part in a 'write a country song' competition during the reception. Every table was given words that had to be included in their song and everyone got up and performed....however it is a little hard when you are competing against real country music stars! The impromptu performances were great and we all got our own private concert.

Thanks for a wonderful day and a great weekend. I really enjoyed seeing a new part of our Country. Have a lot of fun on your honeymoon too...this might be the coolest honeymoon ever: the Maldives, Bali, Singapore...the list went on! Lucky!

Wishing a life of more laughter and love (and a big country style family),

I couldn't resist posting one of the adorable flower girl, Ayla. It was a long day for her and she did great.

Right after the ceremony, Mary-Ann talented sister sang them "Cowboy take me away" as a surprise.

The party went on under the stars till late in the evening....
