David and Seleena's wedding in Egmont, British Columbia

The story of our wedding

Our story began when I started a new job in Ontario with my husband. We worked together for about 7 months before we oficially started dating. Fast forward 2 years later, we were on a beach in one of our favourite countries to travel, Iceland. And there he was on one knee, trying not to cry asking me to be his wife. Obviously I said yes, or I wouldn't be here!

Our wedding was in one of the most picturesque locations in all of British Columbia. It is located in a small village on the Sunshine Coast called Egmont. You can access it via float plane, or a short ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay and drive along the coast. The West Coast Wilderness Lodge had the most fantastic ocean views and the finest cuisine. Everyone could not stop talking about the views, mountains and how amazing all of our meals were.

We had a very intimate wedding as all of our guests flew in from Ontario. We had hoped that it wouldn't rain, and planned our wedding ceremony outside. It ended up pouring on us, but I did not even care one bit. It was absolutely stunning. We started the day doing a first look in the woods. I am SO glad we did this, because it relieved so many nerves I was feeling. After the ceremony, we went out to the dock for some photos and it was so surreal. The wind just came out of nowhere to blow my dress around, huge flocks of birds behind us. Everyone was watching us from the lodge above. We ended the night with some sparklers which was interesting. It was pretty wet from all the rain, and they were having a hard time lighting. I was terrified that someone would catch my dress on fire! But, that didn't happen and we ended up with beautiful photos.
