You will read all about their planning and some their most memorable moments. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Michelle and Rick met through a mutual friend. As luck would have their mutual friend set them up to meet when they both moved to Edmonton, Alberta. They met at a local pub one night and the rest is history!
Describe the proposal. We were on a cruise in the Caribbean and it was the second night on board, May 18th, 2009 to be exact! Rick had sent me to the casino for a bit and in the meantime he was in our room making a phone call to my parents back home to ask for their permission. That night at dinner I was concerned as Rick was not eating much. Dessert came and Rick demanded that we return to the hotel room as he was not feeling well, so back to the room we went.
There in the room I was sitting on the bed looking over the next days itinerary waiting very patiently for Rick who was in the washroom. I was yelling at him to hurry up so we didn’t miss the show that night. Rick finally came out of the washroom walked over to the bed, got down on one knee and popped the question and my answer was a big YES!! Rick confessed that night why he took so long in the bathroom, he was practicing his proposal in the mirror!
The whole design of the wedding revolved around being out in the wilderness, the mountains and somewhat like an enchanted forest!
I used different shades of purple and green, different kinds of flowers and greenery, and butterflies.
My most memorable moment about my wedding day would be that walk up the aisle. Walking arm in arm with my father, seeing my brothers, sister and best of friends standing there smiling and crying.
Then seeing Rick standing there waiting, knowing that in a matter of minutes we would be exchanging our vows in front of our family and friends. Knowing that the moment we had been thinking of and dreaming of for so long was finally here! It was such a special moment and very emotional.
