This is Karla & Steve’s Pipers Heath wedding. It was beautiful and full of love. The first time I met them, it really struck me how genuinely kind both of them were, and this kindness and love for each other was reflected in their wedding day.

I love the personalized details that went into this wedding. Not just any details, but meaningful personalized details. There was the bike-for-two theme of their wedding invite (they are both very active); the handkerchief that Karla carried to honour both her mom and her grandmother; the tandem bike at the wedding for their photos; the hand-stitched wedding date Karla sewn into Steve’s tie; the matching sneakers Steve bought for them; and the Andy Frost recorded reception entrance announcement because, well, Steve is a huge Maple Leafs fan (also, it was incredibly funny!) Everything was a reflection of who they are as individuals and as a couple. Bouquet toss? Nope, didn’t make sense to Karla. Instead, she gave her beautiful bouquet to her sweet Oma. Garter toss? Nope, didn’t happen.

My favourite moment was the wedding ceremony, during which Karla & Steve read their own handwritten vows. And it was one of the most personal and moving ceremonies I’ve had the honour to witness so far. I think that when guests at a wedding feel like they’ve just experienced something personal and sacred, then they will experience the wedding as a wonderful event, no matter what type of linens, flowers or favours are there. And at Karla & Steve’s wedding, I think it was definitely the case.
