More weddings: some quick pics from Chuck’s wedding
Author: Cam | Filed under: Personal, Photo
Well it’s the end of another weekend, and it marks the end of another perfect wedding.
Charles and Sarah got married kinda (more on that later) at a farm in Ottawa. My expectations were pretty low when I first heard that it was going to be at a farm… but man am I happy that I was sooooo wrong.
Turns out the Farm they chose was AWESOME. Saunders Farm is to farms as Walt Disney World Theme Parks is to parks. Probably a grossly exaggerated comparison… but what I’m getting at is that this farm wasn’t normal…it had mazes! I was pretty relieved that the venue was quite cool, and that the cheese had not slipped off my dear Chuck’s cracker.
The day itself was beautiful and quite an emotionally charged one too, even though this was essentially a dress rehearsal for their actual wedding day on Monday. You see both Sarah and Chuck’s parents are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversaries on Monday.
That’s not a typo, both their respective sets of parents tied the knot 35 years ago on the exact same day. So it was a little obvious that they were going to have to marry on that day too. So for that reason, a “mock” ceremony was done on Saturday with all friends and extended family on Saturday followed by a very real reception and barn blowing party.
So anyway, all that too say, there will be more pics for you to see either Monday or Tuesday and that I had a good time.
As you can see… expectations are always kinda skewed when an harmonica and accordion playing IT manager for Revenue Canada weds a playwright who moonlights as a Parliament Hill translator get married.
Important to note… the brides dress as well all of the bridesmaids and the officiant’s dresses (that’s 4 total) were all made, by hand, by Sarah’s Mom. (She’s the lady in the blue dress (also made by her) in the background)
There was much dancing on that night… but Chuck & Sarah really stole the show with their dance. I’ll add video later, it was pretty cool.
Oh, and I wore a suit. But managed to not have to wear a tie. Thanks Chuck for letting me maintain my no tie policy.
All pictures were taken by Claire-Lise on her iPhone and doctored using Camerabag for Mac.
