Whonnock Lake Wedding: Cheryl and Chris
November 21, 2008Cheryl and Chris were married on a perfect fall day at Whonnock Lake. It was very much a ‘fall wedding’, which I know was exactly what Cheryl wanted. Thank goodness for great weather and great people- the day was a blast!
*sigh*
And the complexities of groom prep:
Soooo, it’s 2pm and the girls are nowhere near ready yet. What’s a guy to do?
A visit to Chris’ mistress, Wendy, to satisfy their needs!!! : ) Chris kept his visit to Wendy’s a secret from Cheryl until she got to see the evidence in the photos.
A different sort of ‘guys prep’ shot– their beautiful boy Logan getting ready for the big day as well!
Off to Fort Langley for some pre-wedding photos.
Tip for brides and grooms: do not take the Albion Ferry to your wedding on a Friday afternoon : ) There was a 6 sailing wait!! Luckily we did some crazy juggling of plans and managed to get the limo to wait in the ferry lineup while Mark and I photographed Cheryl and Chris in Fort Langley. We even picked up some wedding hitchhikers in the limo who otherwise would have been late to the ceremony, making it a full limo (we left our car in Fort Langley and sat on the limo floor) It was fun!
Chris was feeling a wee bit nervous on the ride to Whonnock Lake.
And the emotions really kicked in as Cheryl came down the aisle:
They each planted trees right after they signed the registry
Just married!!!
Logan congratulates his beautiful mom right after the ceremony
Even though it was dark after the ceremony, we still ventured outside to enjoy a little of Whonnock Lake at dusk.
The reception was very entertaining, and the food was incredible. We highly recommend the catering provided by bluStone restaurant in Abbotsford.
There was even a magic show for kids and adults to enjoy : )
And then the dancing began:
One of the best bouquet tosses of the year- look where the bouquet landed!
What a beautiful family… Logan just did not stop partying that evening, though I think he was fighting off the yawns towards the end of the night:
Congratulations to a wonderful and amazing couple!
