Hi all!
My partner and I were married in a super small ceremony yesterday. Attendants included our two witnesses, a dog, the photographer, and the officiant.
It was done in the backyard of my best friend’s mom in another province from where we live.
We had a month of planning, and everything turned out perfectly even though it seemed like a rough journey. It turns out I could not have planned a better day. The weather was amazing, the location ended up blowing our expectations out of the water - plus two of their neighbors also offered up their yards so we had an arbor and plenty of gardens to use for the photos.
Everything went so smoothly with the exception of one thing - but that was totally out of our control:
(It looks like I’m coming down with shingles so I was in quite a bit of pain)
We’ve been together six years and the only people we told about the ceremony aside from my best friend and company, was my mom because I needed her help in the planning and executing. I rented the dress from someone in the province sight unseen, did my own hair and makeup, my mom made the cake and I decorated it myself the day before the wedding.
We had a lovely dinner at a local restaurant and they were super sweet.
I wouldn’t have changed anything - and I’m so happy to be a married woman.
Late to respond, but I was in perfectly well just now!! Great job on getting it sorted :)
