Monika Panas and John Azevedo knew it was forever, almost from the beginning, five years ago. “We both knew we wanted to eventually get married,” says the couple. But it was particularly John’s genuine, down to earth and caring personality that attracted Monika to him, and his great sense of humour that continues to keep her smiling. And for John, it’s Monika’s smile and her big heart.

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.
