We both tackled the planning together. Anthony loved being part of every aspect of planning. We wanted a fun wedding, to enjoy ourselves and to make sure our guests felt welcome. Food, drinks and music was where we wanted to put a lot of our attention. We chose a great caterer and had friends come to tend the bar. We had Anthony’s brother to perform the ceremony and had my brother and his wife to sing our first dance song. We knew we wanted to include family in the ceremony & wedding as much as possible. The day before the wedding was all hands-on deck. Having a wedding on a private family farm meant we had to have everything brought in. We had been building and preparing for the wedding for months, including building our own bar, podium, back drop for the head table. We were excited to see it all come together. The day flew by, trying to take in as much of it as possible. We always made sure to touch base with each other through- out the reception and really enjoyed celebrating with all our friends & family. We had an amazing day of coordinator who took on any stresses or issues that may have come up during the day. She kept us on schedule and ensured we were savoring every moment. Our favourite part of the day was without a doubt the cere- mony. The ceremony was surreal, it was nothing like I had imagined. I was quite nervous to stand in front of everyone, but once we were there together it was the most comfortable and easiest thing I’ve ever done. The ceremony was causal enough for us to share laughs but also filled with so much love we were just bursting with happiness. • www.GeorgianBayWedding.com 119
