A backyard wedding

Matt and I attended the wedding of Doug and Carly yesterday afternoon.



I have known Doug since he was a young boy of 3 or 4, as I have been close with his sisters from a young age myself. I have always thought of him as a little brother and I must say, it was rather emotional for me to watch him become a husband to Carly.
He has been in love with her from such a young age, that to see them finally get married was extremely exciting.



Both the ceremony and reception were held in a backyard in Abbotsford and we had perfectly sunny, not too hot not too cold weather. The wedding was simple yet very beautiful and everything about it reminded me of Carly.

And speaking of Carly, she looked stunning! She had on the most gorgeous dress but she kept her look very simple, which just showed her natural beauty so well.



Matt and I were talking about the wedding on the way home and both agreed that it was one of the nicest most personal weddings we have attended. I think that says alot.



Congratulations you two! We love you so much and cannot wait to see you when you return from your honeymoon as Mr. and Mrs. Doug Reid.

Reflections... Our Wedding Day pt 4

*in case you missed it... you can find part 3 here *

... the wedding was perfect! I couldn't have imagined it being any better. Is that crazy or what? How is it possible that our wedding day turned out to be better then we could ever have imagined and we didn't even know whether it would happen only a week before.

The ceremony was beautiful. Matt and I said 'I do' amongst tropical flowers, palm trees and the ocean behind us. We had loved ones around us; supporting us, encouraging us and just 'being there' for us. It was a very hot day, around 32 degrees, but I barely noticed.



Our wedding party - too bad all our guests weren't in this picture too!

We enjoyed an incredibly unique reception with traditional Hawaiian music and fantastic food, right on the ocean. We had a private table just for our group. Such a blast and totally unforgetable!






We couldn't have planned anything more perfect. God had a better plan for us that we had for ourselves. And seriously... what a story!
