Happy Wedding!!!

Happy Wedding to Us!

Happy Wedding to Kyle and Lynzie!
Happy Wedding to Us!


So today is the big day! The last week has been insane! With flight arrivals, cancelled flights, lost luggage, breaking cars, GPS's that don't work properly and ribbons tied on random streets of Manitoba (just to brighten up the country because we were following the confused GPS)... its been a CRAZY week!

But today is the day!!! *insert gleeful cheering here!*

We are so excited and so proud of all of our sponsors... We want to express at this point a hugely wide (as far as the internet goes)... THANK YOU!!!! This day is because of you and couldn't have happened without you! Our families for helping out in every way possible... and our friends for coming from across the globe to be apart of this day...  Regardless of missing dresses, missing veils, twisted ankles and more... its a BEAUTIFUL day outside... not to hot and not to cold, and Kyle has done a beautiful job on my hair.

I am sitting in the dining room of Kyle's sister Michelle's house... we we in the midst of hair, make-up, clothing and suitcases... Its a bit chaotic right now. 2 makeup artists, 1 hair stylist, a videopgrapher (who is filming me as I write this) and editor across the table from me (the videographer's wife)... and I am LOVING it all. Its been a beautiful morning so far, and even though I have had a lack of sleep (about 3 hours) I am pumped up and rearing to go!


If you want to know what is happening when... ill attach our run-sheet to this... I have to say this journey has been fun, crazy and full of adventure.

Well we are about 4 hours from the start, so I had better go...

I can't wait to tell you al about it!

One week away... Less than that!

Oh my goodness....

We are a week away.

Stressful. Ill be honest, this is really a lot of work. I can't honestly say that I have ever worked so hard, or dedicated SO MUCH TIME to anything else!

Today is Wednesday, and we have about 5 days until the wedding. The 'breakdown' or 'run sheet' for the day is about 90% done... and its just loose ends to do now. In the last week or so I have been working on contracts for our sponsors and gathering all the sponsorship cards, leaflet and posters to have at the wedding.

We did say that we would do that, so we are. There will be a sponsor table at our reception that will host each sponsors information, and any posters that they have...

Thing is... we have a surprise for our sponsors... This week we found out that we can have a vinyl sign made, at a reasonable price... and it will be posted on the side of HWY 311, in Manitoba, for ONE FULL YEAR! How awesome!

I will put up the contract, as a sample, for anyone who wants to use it. I think its important that you can see what it should be like. If you decide to do this type of wedding, its not the best contract to use as a template, but it will help if you have no idea where to start. It works for us :)

Keep watch on the website for a final list of our sponsors and photos to come...

Until then... Here is the contract.
