In Becky's words:
Location:
Our ceremony was at i of the oldest churches inward British Columbia. It was built betwixt 1897 in addition to 1902 yesteryear the Kwantlen First Nations on Mac Millan Island,their abode (across the river from Fort Langley). Fort Langley is nigh a xl instant drive exterior of the urban marrow of Vancouver. It is the exclusively heritage edifice inward the township that is connected amongst First Nations Heritage. Back inward the 24-hour interval earlier the bridge, people used to cross the Fraser River yesteryear canoe to attend the church building service. Now that it is a heritage edifice used yesteryear the First Nations choir in addition to prayer group, nosotros were able to conduct keep whatsoever cast of ceremony (not strictly Catholic equally per most Catholic churches). We also hired a steel drummer for our ceremony who learned contemporary meaningful songs but for us. The First Nations caretakers tell the church building is spirited, in addition to I must tell I am a believer, I had a magical in addition to unforgettable experience amongst my babe in addition to bridesmaid patch nosotros were lone inward the modest church building setting up.
The reception was also inward Fort Langley area, in addition to held at a household unit of measurement farm of a childhood friend of the groom. The 100 acre holding is straightaway used for motion-picture present sets consummate amongst a western hamlet (the saloon was a cracking dorsum upwards plan), a modest orchard, Equus caballus stables, in addition to a modest lake. We were able to conduct keep a bonfire, in addition to lantern lit trails, in addition to nosotros fifty-fifty used the Equus caballus band to common in addition to serve from the tacofino truck! We were genuinely blessed, it was everything nosotros e'er dreamed of in addition to more.
Dress:
My didactics in addition to profession is inward both garment/accessories blueprint in addition to industrial (product) design. Because my toddler was 1 at the time, i decided to transcend on the stress of sewing in addition to drafting my ain dress. I collected my inspiration, institute my fabric, in addition to a vintage veil in addition to went to a colleague of mine Marek Dal to conduct keep my wearing clothing made. Marek is an particular in addition to experienced sewer, I conduct keep seen him revive damaged vintage dresses. He is also an amazing pattern drafter, visionary, amazing occupation solver in addition to teacher. He actually made my vision come upwards to life. After Marek completed the wearing clothing I took some of the cloth flowers off my mother's 60's agency marriage wearing clothing in addition to sewed them into my wearing clothing lining (including a cluster over my heart), thence that inward a agency she could hold out in that location amongst me walking downwardly the aisle in addition to partying amongst us all at the reception. I wore suede nude Acne heeled booties amongst the dress. My mother in law took a few of us to a local u-pick bloom farm the 24-hour interval earlier the marriage in addition to nosotros picked local inward flavour wild flowers for the tabular array arrangements, bouquets, in addition to boutineers that she seat together amongst her sister, in addition to nosotros picked some flowers for the bloom daughter caput garlands i made. Flower picking was a cracking experience...a wonderful agency to relax inward the out doors during the stress of marriage planning. Plus nosotros got to run into local farmers/artisans on the farm, hold out productive, in addition to bond amongst my bridesmaid, woman bring upwards inward law, husband-to-be, relatives from Japan, in addition to my babe (strapped to my chest), all at the same time!
I forgot to add...since the 24-hour interval I set eyes on the church building when I started dating Kenta that church building called to me.You tin reckon it standing lone across the river when you lot are inward the 'downtown' principal route of Fort Langley Village. I actually had to hunt the church building out in addition to hold out relentless/perserveerent to acquire access to it for the marriage but it was thence worth the hunt, in addition to sort of a fun procedure too. Little did I know dorsum thence I would wed in that location in addition to when nosotros started planning the marriage nosotros had no sentiment nosotros would terminate upwards living out here. Now nosotros drive yesteryear the church building in i lawsuit inward a patch to 'say hi' . In the stillness of winter, all tranquillity in addition to shut up, or at the terminate of summertime amongst bees flight some the flowers, it actually is a wise in addition to sacred feeling place.
