WEDDING DAY WORRIES: We had to bring everything in – from the bathrooms to the electricity and tents. The torrential rain overnight and up until 2pm on the day of was pretty worrisome! It was really a test for our tent, but there were no leaks! With the wet weather looming, we are now the proud owners of over 50 dollar store umbrellas! The weather cleared up just before the ceremony. Overall, there were no major planning dramas, just a lot of lists! FAVOURITE THINGS: The vows, the speeches and the time we spent with family and friends.
