Tina & Curtis: Fit For a Princess

This past August I had the pleasure of working with Tina and Curtis on their beautiful castle wedding. This couple pulled off the ultimate "Princess-meets-Prince-Charming" themed wedding. Tina & Curtis signed on for a Month-of contract to make sure that each detail was properly executed on the wedding day. I can take no credit for the creativity and focus of this extremely well-thought-out theme; this was all Tina.

The colours were pink and purple and the ceremony took place at Singer Castle (but where else could a Prince and Princess be married?). The castle was such a lovely backdrop for the ceremony and the stone walls set the tone for the secondary theme (stone) which also ran strong throughout the day. Prince & Princess, Pinks & Purples, Stones & Castles... LOVE IT!

The shots below were graciously provided by the fabulous team (Steven & Katie) at Unveiled Photography in Kingston. These guys really know how to balance fun and professional and they are such a pleasure to work with. I have the good fortune of working with them again next August and I can't wait! Thanks again you guys!

Here's a little glimpse into the beautiful day that was Tina and Curtis' wedding.

You can view the entire slideshow on the Unveiled Photography website.

Congratulations Tina and Curtis! And may you live Happily Ever After!

Made in Canada

I received this FW in my inbox today and felt that it was important enough to share with you. This message is talking about everyday items like light bulbs but I think that with the amount of money spent on weddings these days couples could make a big impact by choosing items for their wedding that were made in Canada as well.

Cheers!

My grandson likes Hershey's candy . I noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now. I do not buy it any more. My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico now. I have switched to Crest... You have to read the labels on everything .

This past weekend I was at Wal-mart. I needed 60W light bulbs. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy was an off brand labeled, "Everyday Value. " I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the price. The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this -in Canada at a company in Ontario.

So throw out the myth that you can not find products you use every day that are made right here. My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in Canada - the job you save may be your own or your neighbour’s!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others so we can all start buying Canadian, one light bulb at a time!

We should have awakened a decade ago. Let's help our fellow Canadians keep their jobs and create more jobs here in Canada.
