Our Wedding

Getting Ready Ceremony Cake Bride & Groom Bridal Party Families Guests

We got married on Friday, September 14th, 2001. It was one of the happiest days of our lives. We got engaged just as the new Millennium was introduced in Newfoundland, the first second of the New Year 2000. So it just seemed fitting that we get married in Newfoundland... our home.

Though we were (and still are) living in Grande Prairie, Alberta at the time, we planned our wedding from over 5000 miles away. We decided on a more non-traditional non-formal wedding with approximately thirty people. The entire wedding was held at the Waterford Manor in St. John's and we could not have chosen a more beautiful place.

The Ceremony

The ceremony was held at the Waterford Manor. This Victorian manor was built in 1901 by the Merchant Delgado family and provides an authentic example of a turn-of-the-century riverside mansion.

The Cake

The cake was baked and decorated by Michel's Bakery in St. John's. It was half chocolate and half white with a layer of delicious raspberry filling. Our cake toppers consisted of the bride and groom Cherished Teddies.
