Derek and Cecilia's wedding in Calgary, Alberta

The story of our wedding

After planning just over two years for our wedding, we were crushed to find out that a pandemic was going to change some plans. We had just completed a couples marriage course and had the best time. We were in the final countdown to our wedding, we had done our menu tasting, made plans with our videographer, photographer, cake lady and decorator. All that was left was a bridal shower, bachelorette and dress fittings. Everything was set to go! Little did we know that we would be slamming on the brakes, hard! We both decided that there was no way a pandemic was stopping us from becoming husband and wife. Just 2 weeks before our wedding day, we decided life was too short to put our first dance on hold. We will always remember how much fun we had laughing and sharing this special moment in my parents backyard. We didn’t get to celebrate exactly how we planned but we had truly the best day we could have ever imagined. We have the most phenomenal photos, video that is full of moments we will always treasure, beautiful flowers and yes, even a wedding cake kindly provided to us by our cake lady! We will never be able to truly thank our vendors enough for each and every one of them being so supportive and helpful. And shout out to my mom who is our number one vendor and created so many of our beautiful details and invitations. Thank you to my dad who made my little girl dreams come true, driving me to the church in his Z28 Camaro. (The same car I came home in as a newborn and went to graduation in) We hope to continue our celebration with family and friends with dinner and dance in the near future.#LoveWon #foreverYes
