Wedding
Lisa and Kim at her wedding.
I think my daughter and I could write a book on how to plan and organize a wedding in six days!
To be honest, the wedding had been in the works for a few years now. The rings had been purchased, but no sign of the wedding dress. Then, on a Sunday and with the blink of an eye, the perfect dress was located. Then, my daughter announced, “Mom, I want to get married on Saturday in the orchard at Paynter’s Market amongst the blossoms. They are so pretty right now and they may not last long.” Saturday was six days away, to which I offered an encouraging reply, “Well, if you’re determined and get busy you can make it happen.”
Blossoms make the perfect backdrop for a spring wedding. We all know how beautiful the blossoms look and how quickly they fall to the ground.
Who says an event can’t be planned in the spur of the moment when you have the faith, determination and a little help from mom.
Many thanks to Jennay Oliver from Paynter’s Fruit Market who generously allowed us to hold the event on her farm. We especially appreciated Jennay touring us around the orchard, pointing out all her favourite spots for photos and sheltered areas in case it rained a bit.
I now see why so many couples choose to get married in an orchard or at a winery, as an outdoor wedding is so fresh and picturesque. We are so fortunate to have these sites available.
After a lot of running around the day turned out perfect and went off without a hitch. There was a little rain in the morning. Then, as the warm sun came out you could literally see the buds opening up as the couple were exchanging their vows. It was very lovely.
Dreams do come true and you can read more inside this magazine. I hope your summer season goes well and without a hitch.
All the best to you this summer season!
Enjoy the magazine!
