Year One
... a look into our first year as a married couple!
Well its been one whole year since our wedding! What an amazing year we had!
We went on our AMAZING honeymoon in Europe for two weeks and when we came back at the end of September we found out we were expecting!!! We kept the pregnancy a surprise for the first three months, we NEVER found out the gender of our baby. I still had to finish Hair school and then my Husband got a new job, THREE HOURS AWAY! boo So we moved. We had a difficult time selling our house, so we were set up in a hotel for 90 days with two dogs and a cat! who would have thought. Finally found a house and moved into it by February. I just love it. The job I got wasn't the greatest but I was leaving soon on maternity leave anyhow. Our sweet baby girl Calise arrived 11 days late in June. She is such a blessing. So here we are today Celebrating our first year and it was definitely one to Remember. Jon bought me tickets to Cirque De Soleil for our anniversary! ;) |

ONE MORE WEEK!!! + Engagement Story...
Well the days have been ticking by, we are getting married next Saturday. I can't believe how quickly this engagement has flown by. I miss the beginning steps of it. Going through the magazines, looking at thousands of pictures on various websites for flower ideas, dress ideas, and everything else...
I miss the little things, like the anticipation of awaiting RSVP cards, assembling the wedding favors, meetings with the hall and catering company's, WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING, making collages of what I am dreaming our big day will be like.... I could go on and on Suddenly its here. A long waited 13 months... over in a flash. Thank you to all of my fav'd brides! you have been fantastic throughout this beautiful time in my life. I will share with you my engagement story... For Christmas of 2009 Jonathan bought me Cirque De Soleil tickets for July of 2010... they weren't just tickets to the show but an entire long weekend away with him in Quebec City!!! which happens to fall around our 2 year anniversary... Neither one of us have ever been to a show like this before so I was anxiously awaiting our big trip away. Of course for 7 months everyone kept teasing us that this was our big trip for engagement... Which got me even more excited, even though I didnt want to ruin anything, but HEY Im a girl, and allowed to dream ;)? So the weekend finally arrives, we make the 9 hour drive from Barrie to Quebec City. We get to our hotel, check in, Go to the local Aquarium right beside our hotel, and stroll along the old cobblestone pathways down town Quebec City- How Romantic! Saturday we get up and check out a few of the older places like Hotel Frontenac (beautiful!) and do a little street side shopping. We finally get time to go to the Cirque De Soleil - Totem... Apparently Jonathan had the ring in the box the whole night, I never even noticed... We walk to the show, it ends later then we thought, So we walk to the nearby restaurant that he wanted to take me to and they are closed!.. bummer... we ended up stopping at another restaurant that was like a home style eatery. Nothing special on the menu. Its late by this point and we are both tired by the long day so we start walking back to the bus terminal to take us back to the hotel and we missed the bus!... So we decide to call a cab... at 12:30 AM we finally make it back to the hotel, Jonathan opened a bottle of wine while I was trying to find some music on my Ipod that we could listen to and Jonathan said "Jennifer, we've been together now for 2 years and I was wondering if you would like to take the next step and get married? will you marry me?" as he got onto one knee I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't even see what he was holding out in front of me because my eyes were welled up with tears. I asked him to ask me again because it all just seemed like a blur. He said "Jennifer will you marry me?" and I screamed YES!!!! yes of course and honestly This is a moment i will never forget! My profile picture is the first picture we took after he asked me to marry him. I've never changed it because I love reflecting back into the moment every time I see this picture. I can see me glowing, glossy-eyed, makeup running and all, and I can see he is proud, he looks glossy-eyed and emotional too. What an amazing moment in ones life. |

 Seating Chart |
Wedding Reception
Seating Chart Completed... CHECK!
After struggling with staples about the appropriate size to print out the seating chart here is the final copy. I'm so happy how it turned out even though it was suppose to be the size of the board. I ended up adding the damask fabric in-behind it and added a butterfly.

DIY wedding and Update...
Its funny that the Butterflies snuck in there
It dawned on me last weekend that I have somehow incorporated butterflies into my theme for the wedding as well. I hear that butterflies are good luck. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come!
WOW only 17 more days! its crazy how fast time in going bye. My bachelorette party is this weekend and we are going to have a blast! I also get to go to the Britney concert this weekend in Toronto as well. EEK! SO EXCITING! Everything is coming together perfectly so far. I'm just waiting on my dress alterations that have been held up as my seamstress has been so busy (I think she forgot that my dress was supposed to be finished by AUG 5th!) My phone call to her today was not from a pleased bride. |

We are having a very elegant and romantic theme for our wedding. Black and white Damask with just a hint of Tiffany blue.
I love him with all of my heart. This planning all seems like a dream now that I look back onto it. It felt like yesterday that I was doing my 1 year countdown and look at me today, just DAYS away from marring my one true love. ENJOY your planning days ladies because before you know it its all over. Now your starting your new life together. xxx Jenn xxx
