Leslie & Rommel's Laughter-Filled Wedding Ceremony :)

What stands out in my memory from every time we've been around Leslie & Rommel is the laughter. These two are not only totally in love, but are obviously also full of joy, and they bring it out in each other and everyone around them. This past Thursday, they got married (finally - after 14 years together!), and their ceremony was no exception - I don't think I've ever seen a bride and groom laugh so much before, during, and after exchanging their vows :) If this day is anything to anticipate the rest of their lives together, then Leslie & Rommel are going to be very very happy!
Here are some of my favourite images of the day..

I especially love this image in the front lobby of city hall - the nail art background
suited these two perfectly!!

 I love personal details - Rommel is a DJ, so his cuff links were - of course - cassette tapes! He also got his name embroidered in his classy bespoke suit (love the lining!).. and Leslie's wedding ring and earrings were a gift from her grandmother :)

I love this image of the newlyweds :)

Leslie & Rommel:  Your wedding ceremony was lovely and full of smiles and laughs all around.. we can't wait to see you again tonight to celebrate with all your family and friends!

Kelly & Eddie - An Irish/Canadian Love Story :)

When I first read Kelly's email explaining that she was a Canadian living in Dublin, planning to come back to Canada to marry her Irishman Eddie at Toronto City Hall - I couldn't help feeling like they were our twins in reverse. When I found out their wedding date was the day before our first anniversary of when we got married at Belfast City Hall, it seemed somehow like the stars had alligned.
Perhaps it was this connection, or perhaps it was the lovely accents, but when we met a couple of days before their wedding to scout our locations I immediately felt like I'd known Kelly & Eddie for years. And much like ours, their wedding day was perfect :)
We started off at the "Skates & Snacks" building in Nathan Phillips Square, which is a much newer and prettier version of this building than the one that used to be there (thankfully!)

I love this moment of nervous anticipation right before they see each other for the "first" time..

And then I love how they both glowed once they finally saw each other :)

Into City Hall for the main event :)

Kelly's friend Lindsey brought surprise bubbles - perfect!

Now for our tour of Toronto: starting with the CN Tower..

Over to the Art Gallery of Ontario..

and of course a lovely Toronto streetcar!

The reception was held at Bodega on Baldwin.. when we got there Kelly & Eddie's guests were enjoying cocktails on the amazing patio..

Kelly's Man of Honour Scott made the cake - I love that!

I also loved Kelly's secret little shamrock :) (And her shoes! And her dress!)

Kelly & Eddie - you two were amazing :) Your families were lovely, and I hope all the overseas visitors enjoyed their stay in our fair city. May this perfect day remain in your hearts for many years to come :) And we will definitely go for a pint in September!

Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your magical day!
