Renée got in touch with me just three weeks before the big day. She had worked out all the plans, selected her vendors, and assembled hundreds of ceremony programs (which doubled as fans for the gue
sts). But as the day approached Renée realized that there were a lot of little details that would need to be managed and she didn't want to have to worry on her wedding day... nor did she want to put the burden on her family. So... she sent me an email.
Luckily, I was still available and up to the challenge.
Renée and Rob did a fantastic job getting everything together for their wedding... which made my job quite a bit easier. We sorted out a few small kinks and had everything ready to go. But the wedding day was busy and full of challenges; the main one of which was the weather.
The plan had been to have an outdoor ceremony on the water at the home of the bride's parents. However, Mother Nature was brewing up other plans as the forecas
t had been calling for rain the entire week. So we listened... everyday... right up until Saturday morning, but the reports didn't change. There was an 85% chance of rain - those were not good odds.
Regardless, the morning of the wedding had only seen a little drizzle and Renée wanted to wait until the last possible moment before deciding to move the ceremony into the reception tent. So we held out... and just 1 hour before the ceremony was scheduled to begin the skies opened up and the sun shone beautifully across the river.
So my staff and I, along with the help of some very obliging young men, got the ceremony set up as quickly as possible, and although the ceremony started a little late Renée
had the outdoor wedding she'd been dreaming of and we managed to get everything back on schedule shortly after the dinner began.
It was a beautiful day filled with so much love and joy. Friends told stories of the couple’s very long courtship (over ten years!) and guests were treated to some great entertainment by the wedding party, and some big laughs (and some tears) from the speeches. Even if you didn’t know the couple it would be hard not to feel touched by the kind words and wonderfully recited stories (I think the entire wedding party had Toastmasters memberships in their wallets).
At the end of the night guests were treated to an exclusive fireworks display put on by the bride's uncle. And despite the rain (that did eventually fall), and the muddy grass that followed, the day could not have been more perfect. I was so honoured to have been a part of it.
Renée and Rob, thank you for including me in your big day. The wedding may be over but it was certainly an event for the books. I have nothing but the warmest of wishes for you both.
All the very best,
