Back from our Halifax trip - to a DW!

Recommended Posts

So I got back from a fun mini-holiday to Halifax, on the East coast, on Sunday. FI and I went to a friend's DW out there! It was a great excuse to go do some sightseeing and have some time on our own. :)

 

We flew Porter airlines from Ottawa, which was fab - free food and alcohol (!) - as it's a relatively new charter airline.

We arrived on Thursday and picked up our rental car (which was enormous) and drove to Lunenberg. I've always wanted to go there. It was so romantic...

Cute little horses - horse rides around town with people wearing top hats... LOL!

It would have been fun to go on one of these shark fishing tours...

The bride walked alone:

The worst thing was that we could not hear the ceremony at all! I've never been so frustrated.... I'm not sure if it was because it was outside and there was background noise or if they were speaking really quietly, but it was so frustrating frown.gif

She looked beautiful though. :)

Getting emotional after the ceremony. She had really pretty white/green orchids in her hair:

The reception was at the Halifax Club - a very old club that was really beautiful. Linens were gorgeous... not sure if you can tell from this pic.

It was a very no-frills wedding. Very suited to the couple.

FI and I had a good time on the dance floor, trying to dance salsa and meringue to regular songs. :)

 

Me and the bride. I look huge compared to her. She's so tiny! Must-get-reduction! (and lose pounds...)

Me on the flight home. Phew! It was fun :)

Thanks, Raeka :) He was so cute this trip. Well, he always is smile72.gif

It was gorgeous. But the noise (lack of noise) factor really threw me off.
Now I'm wondering if our wedding on the beach will have microphones.
I think it must be worse not to be able to hear a ceremony than to hear it through a microphone...

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
