Our cup overflows..

This Saturday our lovely sister was married to her love.
How do we sum up such a gorgeous and grace filled weekend?
with gratitude
with thankfulness
with joy.





























We are grateful for...

Our new brother! He fits right into our family, with his humor, easy going nature and of course GREAT love for Elese.

We are grateful for...

Our mama who thoughtfully booked Joseph's hair salon in the Rideau Center..if you are a huge wedding party (we were 12 altogether with mama's, grand mama's flower girls etc.) they are the ones to call. They took us all at 9 and we were done at 10:15!!

We are grateful for...

Family. On all levels: friend/family, church/family, work/family, school/family, Madonna House family. Community. So many came out to the Wedding mass on Saturday! We were overwhelmed with all the love and support.

We are grateful for...

Handsome groomsmen who all did their part! They decorated the Church, brought us ice cold water bottles, granola bars, helped us walk through rocky areas for photos, held doors, held our shoes, warned us about doggie doodooo..and of course made us laugh, smile, dance-our bros conquered that dance floor!! We are honoured to have met and get to know you all more this weekend.

We are grateful for...

Our grand mama's loan of her house this weekend, complete with A.C., stunning rose gardens and plenty of mirror space! Getting ready with our grand mama, great aunty, aunty, flower girls and of course our mama was such a celebration of girlhood! At one point we were six in the bathroom! :) There wasn't any stress though and everyone looked amazing!

We are grateful for...

The best photographer ever. Lauren was so incredibly flexible, fun to work with and just overall amazing! She traveled from Toronto with her lovely sister/partner and shot us all day.

We are grateful for...

Our cutie pie flower girls who were so good throughout the entire wedding day. The walked the aisle, posed, smiled for pics and made us want to hug them all night.

We are grateful for...

An awesome M.C. who made us all laugh throughout the entire evening. His thoughtful puns and jokes made the usually 'boring' part of the night so fantastic!

and of course..

We are grateful for...

Our gorgeous sister Elese, who was the best bride ever. She was so relaxed on the day, didn't have any freak outs, bridezilla moments etc. Elese gave us free reign to decorate the Church to our heart's content, let us do her makeup, trusted us with all her flowers (she didn't see her bouquet until it was time to carry it :), let us play the Shoe Game, and overall gave our little creative hearts free reign. We three were so proud and honoured to be standing by her side as she married her best friend.

  3. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and a very fun evening! That is amazing that Elese didn't see her bouquet until Saturday. Now that's sisterly trust - she knew she was in good hands. :) What a blessing to be included in your day! Love you all!
