Heritage Centre Video

Heritage Center - Niverville from Mark Hiebert on Vimeo.

Well, its official. The Niverville Heritage Centre has a Promo Video!! We hope it is to your liking, and helps anyone interested in supporting the centre, through donations, hosting events, providing business opportunities for their expansion... Kyle and I sincerely believe in the work of this organization, and it helped extensively knowing that the funding that we put towards our own wedding, will help to reduce the living costs of the residents. We get to have a beautiful wedding, and know that this day is so much bigger than just us!

I have to admit, the last few weeks of planning this wedding have felt like a black hole. Once the article came out in the paper about us, the publicity that it generated, although wonderful for our sponsors, was a little overwhelming. I don't know that I can say that we really knew that we would get the response that we have!

Since then, we have really had to think long and hard about how to legally cover ourselves. How to make sure that we are protected in all the negotiations of this wedding. We believe in our sponsors and trust them completely! They are the work of great minds, skillful hands and savvy creative people. They are trustworthy to a 'T' and truly believe in what we are doing, how we are accomplishing it, and helping others to see how 'outside the box' thinking can really generate creativity!

To those of you reading our blog, thinking if this is the type of wedding that you think you could have, or do, or attempt... I need a warning to you. I believe that this type of wedding should only be had, when the circumstances of the engagement/life/financial/etc. are all in place. Kyle and I decided to do this because we want to celebrate our union with everyone that is close and special to us. Kyle has a family of 75 and I have a family of around 20. Then add in the friends, and you have a HUGE cocktail mix!! Our wedding is not 'grand' or 'expensive' and we are not attempting to live outside our means. I am a skilled event planner, and have been doing so on a voluntary basis for a number of years. This wedding is to allow us to celebrate and not go into debt doing so.

There are so many people out there today that will 'credit card' it, or just 'take out a loan' because its 'your big day and you only get one so you might as well go all out'! We don't believe that that should be the case.

Having said that, I think the sanctity of a marriage can only be seen so much when a couple really puts working into their relationship. Every relationship stands on the ground, and like a plant or a tree, its stability is based on the fact that its roots grow deep. What you see on the top are the fruits of the roots that are planted deep into good ground. One of the biggest causes of a breakdown in relationship is the use of finance... you could say, the mis-use of finance. Kyle and I want to produce good fruit in our relationship and in doing so, we are refusing to allow ourselves to be un-wise.

I am not really sure how I got onto that, but that said, The Niverville Heritage Centre has a beautiful facility, and as you can see from the promo, its not hard to decide to have our wedding there!
