The wedding day was everything they had hoped for and more! Alison enjoyed a stress-free morning, getting ready with her bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law. Jack had a great time with his groomsmen, dad, and father-in-law. They held their ceremony and reception at The Bell Event Centre, and Jack and Alison had their first look before the ceremony. It was a beautiful moment and one of Alison’s favorites. They all took a party bus to P&G Gardens for their photo session, and they had a fantastic time with Steph Keller, who captured their best moments beautifully. Mat Grimes from Vivid Wedding Videos was also there, and he did an excellent job capturing their day’s essence. Jack and Alison wrote their vows, and Alison was nervous before the ceremony. Jack comforted her, and she felt much better afterward. Alison was delighted to see the ceremony and reception area, and the floral arrangements by Piepmeier brought her vision to life. They walked down the aisle to beautiful acoustic renditions of their favorite love songs played by Greg Lee of the Chuck Taylors. Their officiant was Alison’s aunt, and she added a lot of personal touches to make it feel exceptional for them. They each wrote their vows, which surprisingly got through with only a few tears. Jack and Alison talked about the countless hours of WhatsApp calls, flights, and trips they’d taken to see each other. They added soil from each of their childhood homes to a unity tree, which they now have in their home—a great reminder of their commitment to each other. Finally, they were husband and wife, and the party could begin! They immediately invited their guests to the courtyard for cocktail hour, thanks to the first look. Jack and Alison loved this aspect of the day because after taking some family photos, they had time to greet their guests and thank them for coming. They served drinks, food, and cake, and everyone had a good time. The Bell Event Centre staff helped the entire day run smoothly, and Jack and Alison couldn’t be happier with how their wedding went. They had three hilarious, thoughtful speeches from Alison’s dad, her maid of honor, and Jack’s best man. Jack and Alison danced to Coldplay’s “Green Eyes” for their first dance, performed by the Chuck Taylors. Then, there were the father-daughter and mother-son dances, which were very heartfelt. Finally, the dance floor opened, and the party started! The Chuck Taylors were terrific and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They even gave away trophies to the best dancers! Jack and Alison danced the night away, took silly pictures in the photo booth, and laughed until their sides hurt. It was a perfect day filled with love and happiness, and they quickly named it their favorite day ever!
