I asked Leah a few questions about her day….

What was your favorite part of your wedding day?
Aside from seeing each other for the first time which was amazing, we thought the speeches given by our friends and family were amazing. They ranged from touching and sweet, to throw-your-head-back laughing out loud hilarious.

Any unexpected suprises?
Yes, but not in the sense of ‘something went wrong’ surprise. More from our incredibly talented MC, who dredged up and shared in hilarious detail, stories about Tero & I that entertained us and all of our guests.

What was the most emotional moment for you?
Feeling my heart in my chest as I came down the stairs of Hotel Le Germain to see Tero for the first time, and again upon hearing that he had watery eyes as I came down the aisle for the ceremony.

Truly an amazing day that just like everyone says, goes by way too quickly. Despite getting up at 7am to start the hair process, the day really did fly by and it was so special to have all our friends and family there together under one roof.

We worked with a great group of people to pull this day off – first and foremost, our lovely photographer Carla, who truly captured our personalities in the photos.

Natasha at the Glencoe Golf & Country Club ensured everything ran smoothly and was just so darn excited for us! Our married videographer team, Matthew & Nandini Westlake who came all the way from Vancouver for our big day and Loriann, our extremely talented florist who also devoted her time to the overall flow of the wedding. Bud, our driver from MC Limos knew all the short-cuts around town and our room at the Hotel Le Germain was top notch.

A luscious affair at the Banff Springs Hotel, the day was perfect, except of course for the massive thunderstorm that chased us (soaking wet) out of our first location. We came back to the Hotel and received great hospitality – the concierge pressed Regan’s suit for him superfast and we were off to the races again.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day, enjoy :)

Suprise visit from Mom & Sister who came from across the country to be present.

I love Lindsey’s look here. This was sometime in the middle of the longest bridal march in history. I swear. It went on and on – he would hit a long note, everyone would hold their breath expecting it to be over, but it plodded on, and on, and on. It was great.

So we just got done our set of family photos at the highschool in Banff, and there is this huge pack of kids. I somehow mobilized them into a semi circle and got them to jump up and down and act dumb (that part wasn’t hard!). Totally random and very fun.

Sometimes, the pictures of couples waiting to have their photo taken are the most compelling :)
