High-style in Niagara Falls

July 11, 2009 :: Niagara-on-the-Lake and Fallsview Casino, Niagara Falls

Story by Carla @ The Ring

The summer of 2009 was a whirlwind of weddings that I went to and was a part of - four beautiful weddings of eight amazing friends of mine and Tony's (that's my boyfriend, in case you were wondering). I've always loved weddings, even before I found this dream job where I get to write about them, so even though it was super busy, it was also really fun. It's even more fun now that I'm on the inside of the wedding industry because I get to take note of all of the moments, details and unique ways that people personalize their weddings.

Julia Horel and Craig O’Brien met in February 2004 while going to separate universities but coming together through mutual friends. They exchanged email addresses and after one message lead to another, they were dating. Julia and Craig spent time together whenever they could, but their relationship had its challenges, from hectic school schedules to their three-year long distance relationship that went on until Craig and Julia moved to Vancouver together while she was in grad school. They felt they’d been apart long enough.

Couple beats the pre-winter weather with a wedding in sunny Dominican

With winds blistering outside and salt stained pants dripping with slush, it's hard to imagine that Spring is in the near future. And as the Team at The Ring turns up the furnace, we find ourselves lost in photos from destination weddings. The sun, the sand and the vibrant colours almost made us forget that it was minus thirty outside.

Jennifer & Tyler had the same idea when they planned their wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for November of 2009. And now, while all of our tanless bodies dry out, Jennifer and Tyler have their photos to look at while they drift back to their perfectly sunny wedding day, which was held on November 24, 2009. Luckily for us, they've shared their photos and a bit of their wedding story.

Dana & Adam: Northern Ontario Wedding Style

October 4 2008 :: Algoma Mills

Dana Arkilander and Adam Lauder met six years ago while sharing the late shift at a Waterloo coffee pub. After work, they often found themselves playing cards into the wee hours of the night. After Dana first asked Adam out to on an official date - to a movie - that was it. "We've been together ever since."

Irene & Vincent: Every Detail Tells a Story

Vincent Fournier first saw Irene Lam at a Christmas party on December 20, 2003. From that moment forward, Vincent worked on winning Irene’s heart. On February 14 he won his first date with Irene. That Valentine’s Day was just the beginning of a future together that is filled with love and big dreams.

August 29 2008 :: Toronto Music Garden & Harbour View Estates, Toronto
