Wedding photos/Fotos do casamento dos meus pais

Some people spend a year or two planning their weddings....but not my parents! They decided to get married on Thursday and were married on Sunday! They never planned to get married - after all, what difference does a piece of paper make? But then they started thinking about the complications of travelling between and living in each other's countries, and thought that a piece of paper might not be such a bad idea after all.

So they told their families on Thursday evening, found a wonderful marriage commissioner, Sheila Rose, to go along with the crazy plan the same night, and invited the guests by e-mail around midnight. Since Friday was the day we all went dogsledding, skiing and sledding (see photos below), the only thing that they had time to do on Friday was get the marriage license.


The rest of the organizing was done on Saturday - from ordering the cake to finding a wedding dress to writing the plan for the ceremony. Luckily, people were around to help - Greg, Sandy and Shanon organized everything from food and flowers to the ring cushion to a dress for me. Heather and Andrew Finton offered to host the wedding at their beautiful Sundog Resort. Asheya Hennessey chose a lovely song to sing during the ceremony, Kate Weekes and Grant Simpson didn't mind being asked on Saturday evening to do the music, Rob McClure and Stuart Drummond took on the photography, and Kataya and Tanner agreed to be the flower girl and ring bearer. And lots of people turned up, despite the short notice! All in all, it was a stylish event, if I do say so myself....





















And after the ceremony, we posed for photos around Whitehorse, despite the chilly, windy weather...
