In Becky's words:


Location:
Our ceremony was at i of the oldest churches inwards 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 most a twoscore instant drive exterior of the metropolis of Vancouver. It is the solely heritage edifice inwards the township that is connected alongside First Nations Heritage. Back inwards the hateful solar daytime 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 receive got whatever cast of ceremony (not strictly Catholic every bit per most Catholic churches). We also hired a steel drummer for our ceremony who learned contemporary meaningful songs merely for us. The First Nations caretakers nation the church building is spirited, in addition to I must nation I am a believer, I had a magical in addition to unforgettable experience alongside my babe in addition to bridesmaid piece nosotros were lonely inwards the pocket-size church building setting up.

The reception was also inwards Fort Langley area, in addition to held at a draw of piece of work solid unit of measurement farm of a childhood friend of the groom. The 100 acre belongings is immediately used for pic sets consummate alongside a western hamlet (the saloon was a swell dorsum upwards plan), a pocket-size orchard, Equus caballus stables, in addition to a pocket-size lake. We were able to receive got 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 teaching in addition to profession is inwards both garment/accessories pattern in addition to industrial (product) design. Because my toddler was 1 at the time, i decided to move yesteryear on the stress of sewing in addition to drafting my ain dress. I collected my inspiration, industrial plant life my fabric, in addition to a vintage veil in addition to went to a colleague of mine Marek Dal to receive got my wearing clothing made. Marek is an special in addition to experienced sewer, I receive got seen him revive damaged vintage dresses. He is also an amazing pattern drafter, visionary, amazing work 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 textile flowers off my mother's 60's means marriage ceremony wearing clothing in addition to sewed them into my wearing clothing lining (including a cluster over my heart), thence that inwards a means she could last at that topographic point alongside me walking downwardly the aisle in addition to partying alongside us all at the reception. I wore suede nude Acne heeled booties alongside the dress. My mother in law took a few of us to a local u-pick bloom farm the hateful solar daytime earlier the marriage ceremony in addition to nosotros picked local inwards flavor wild flowers for the tabular array arrangements, bouquets, in addition to boutineers that she set together alongside her sister, in addition to nosotros picked some flowers for the bloom daughter caput garlands i made. Flower picking was a swell experience...a wonderful means to relax inwards the out doors during the stress of marriage ceremony planning. Plus nosotros got to run across local farmers/artisans on the farm, last productive, in addition to bond alongside my bridesmaid, woman rear inwards 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 hateful solar daytime I set eyes on the church building when I started dating Kenta that church building called to me.You tin regard it standing lonely across the river when you lot are inwards the 'downtown' principal route of Fort Langley Village. I actually had to hunt the church building out in addition to last relentless/perserveerent to acquire access to it for the marriage ceremony but it was thence worth the hunt, in addition to variety of a fun procedure too. Little did I know dorsum in addition to thence I would get hitched alongside at that topographic point in addition to when nosotros started planning the marriage ceremony nosotros had no take in nosotros would halt upwards living out here. Now nosotros drive yesteryear the church building i time inwards a piece to 'say hi' . In the stillness of winter, all tranquillity in addition to shut up, or at the halt of summertime alongside bees flight around the flowers, it actually is a wise in addition to sacred feeling place.
