We spent last weekend on the Island at Shawnigan lake School where Alana had gone to school. This wedding was an awesome fun-filled weekend with guest staying over in the dorms and other nearby accommodations. Each day was filled with fun activities for adults and kids alike.
Now for a brief overview....
First up on Friday night was the hat party......this gentleman would be wearing a different hat the following day - he was performing the ceremony.
After dinner everyone was treated to Nearly Neil - Bobby Bruce - who was awesome!
The next morning was the sports day event - young and old alike joined in for games and activities.
While the sports activities were taking place Alana was chilling at the Aerie Resort. I joined here there with her bridesmaids in time for hair and makeup. Here is the view from the balcony....
Alana's gifts to her bridesmaids were beautiful necklaces with little hummingbirds attached....I know these were very special.
I totally love this candid of Alana getting dressed.....
Here's Will and the guys back at the School....
And Alana ready to go......
Will had to wait a little bit longer than expected to see his beautiful bride, but it was worth it. I always love this moment....
The grounds of the School were so diverse and beautiful. We found this great grove of trees with some cool light....
And then a grassy knoll - the colour and texture of the grass is one of my favourite summer things......
The reception hall was just something else! With it's long rows of tables and high ceilings it looked like the dining room of Hogwarts. The decor was amazing!
These two look so happy together....this may have been when the MC announced he had registered a binary star as "AlanalovesWill" which is maybe the coolest gift ever!
Here's a final shot of the hall with the candles and ambient lights. Just beautiful.
What a weekend! I'm sure everyone had a fab time. Every detail was thought of and guests were totally taken care of - it was hard to believe that Alana had planned the whole weekend in just 5 months!
Alana and Will - we wish you all the best for a long and happy future together!
