Christian and I met, fell in love, got engaged and was married all in under 3 years. Although it was all so fast, it was also so perfect. The two of us approach life with a very light attitude, always looking for fun and new experiences to enjoy in our young lives, living in Toronto, one of the best cities in the world.
Because we always considered ourselves to be the black sheep of our own families, it was only perfect that our half Portuguese and half Canadian wedding should colour a little outside of the lines, too. We tried to defy the rules of formal or quaint, by throwing our guests off with lavish food, a beautiful event space, outstanding decor and an overall great time to show guests that weddings can be colourful and different.
We chose the colours silver/pewter and green for the venue decor. White ostrich feather centerpieces that seemed to shoot to the sky with pin lighting and green up-lights on the sides of the room, the Downtown Toronto chic venue burst with life when you walked into the room. If you had a camera on my face the moment I saw it all come together, it would be wide eyed and in awe.
For my bridesmaids, I put them in cocktail-length pewter dresses with different styles, but for their shoes I had them pick a colour of their choice to wear, green being my shoe colour, of course!
September 11, 2010 was the best day of our lives. Not only was it the first day that we would spend as husband and wife, but it was also a day that represented the quirky way that we are together, and I feel that our wedding precisely represented that.
Knowing Megan's fun loving attitude, I imagine her saying "Here was my dream wedding". Thank you Megan and Chris for allowing us to be a part of your dream day.
