 Brennan & Dave: An eco-friendly affair with rustic, Fall flair
Photography by Stone Photography
Story idea submitted by bride and groom, written by Carla @ The Ring
Dave and Brennan almost missed the first encounter that would be the beginning of a lifelong love for both of them. Dave was in his final year of high school, and was just about to drop the class that Brennan walked into one day. But once Dave laid eyes on Brennan, he knew he'd be keeping the class, if only so that he could see Brennan every day. Dave became a true believer in love at first sight.
But their luck with timing didn't last forever, and before they had a chance to fall in love, Dave went off to University while Brennan took a year off to travel across Canada. It wasn't until Brennan returned that they ran into each other again. As Brennan began sharing her travel stories, Dave - even after all that time - became a captive audience. He got her number and called the very next day. “We’ve been together ever since!” says Brennan. They celebrated their nine year anniversary a month before their wedding day.
 Laura & Steve: Leather, steel, glass & grass - an eclectic wedding day
September 12, 2009 :: Hauser Hall, Heidelberg
Several years before Laura Wombwell and Steven Arkle spoke their wedding vows to one another, they both worked in the cast of a renaissance festival in Milton. During their last year working there, while Steve played Rasputin, the Mad Russian, and Laura played a button seller, push from a friend (who ended up being their wedding emcee!) got the two dating, beginning what they assumed was just a summer fling.

 Wedding in sunny California was powered by love
August 15, 2009 :: Pasadena, California
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.

 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.
