After more than 7 years of adventuring through life
together we decided to tie the knot. We had always thought, “if we’re going to
get married, we’ll just get married!” – we weren’t really big on the idea of an
engagement period. We got engaged on
the last day of April and went promptly into spending 4 months apart working in
different provinces. Once September rolled around, we had seven weeks together
before our big day arrived on October 15.
Many people said to us, “I’m surprised you guys didn’t elope
on the side of a mountain!”
As tempting as the idea may have been, it was more important
to us to celebrate with our family and friends. So we got married on the
Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island, nearby to where we both grew up.
Climbing was a central theme for us in our wedding – how
could it not be when the mutual love we have for the sport is such a strong
bond we share? Our friends and family shared memories and stories that brought
climbing to life throughout the day, but our celebration went so much further
than that. It was incredible to hear and read words of support and
encouragement for our relationship, advice for the future, and general stoke
from so many amazing individuals. And of course, we had a blast and danced the
night away. Our day was perfect and we cannot express in words how overjoyed we
are by the love we felt.
We are thrilled with how our photographer Brodie captured
the magic of our day and want to share a few of our special moments. He took
TONS of amazing photos and if you’re interested in seeing them all, sign into the guest account here using the password Catsmaid.
