Michael and Cristel's wedding in Tsawwassen, British Columbia

The story of our wedding

Having an outdoor summer wedding is something I’ve always dreamed of. My ceremony was not until 3 PM so the morning was chill and more relaxing to get ready without the hassle and stress. My ceremony took place at Beach Grove Golf Club as well as the reception (to ease our guests from travelling). We had some Filipino tradition aspects during the ceremony, but my husband and I also decided to incorporate the “Washing of Feet” as a symbol of serving each other for the rest of our lives. After the ceremony ended, we took off to take our wedding photos while our wedding party and guests stayed behind to mingle during social hour with cocktails and appetizers. During the reception, the buffet food was BEYOND DELICIOUS. Everyone enjoyed their meals and desserts. We ended the night with our guests playing games and a surprise dance of the father of the bride and the bride herself. Then the rest of the night was filled with dancing. Such a memorable day. I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish a fairytale wedding if it wasn't for all the help and resources that were available to me.
