It was fun to get to know Addy and Alistair a little bit before they said their “I do’s” on July 23 at another incredibly beautiful setting, See Ya Later Ranch in Okanagan Falls, BC. The ranch which is actually a winery not only produces some great wines but it offers a gorgeous hilltop view of the Okanagan Valley and River. The couple and wedding party looked fabulous in their nuptial attire and they made sure that everyone attending could have the best time possible as guests were bussed to and from the ranch. No worries about finding designated drivers! Fun and laughter is a priority for this couple and, I believe, will be a binding force for their love and commitment as the years go by.
I’m glad to say that Morty (their doggy) was a part of their special day. Oh yes, I met Morty when I did the first planning consult by Skype with Addy and Alistair. I was trying to be very efficient and focused on the ceremony after calling Alistair the wrong name several times. At one point I looked up from my notes and there was Morty sitting in Alistair’s spot next to Addy. Well, we had a good laugh and I promised Addy and Alistair that I would not mess up any names on their big day. All went off without a glitch unless you count the uproarious laughter from the guests when Addy was asked if she promised to “love, adore and encourage” Alistair. Hmmm, not sure what that was about ‘cause he promised the same thing and there was only one or 2 giggles from the guests.
Needless to say, it was a magical day for everyone and I wish Addy and Alistair a full life of fun and joy as they journey together.
Love,
Addy
