Rarely do I tell a story from start to finish. I like to begin in the middle and then work my way around and out. But here’s a day that begs a linear translation–it’s just simply entertaining enough exactly the way it happened.<\/p>\n

Becky put her red dress on upstairs, with her mom, in the bedroom of her & Nick’s 4-storey apartment. Downstairs, her bridesmaids ran Nick & the groomsmen through a series of humiliating integrity tests (which they passed with flying colours of course) and then sent Nick on up to his sweetheart. A very brief but touching tea ceremony followed (sorry – no photos here) before everyone swept themselves up and travelled across the full 10 city blocks east to the Berkeley Church.<\/p>\n

Becky now in white and borrowing her mother’s wedding veil, we start a portrait session. At the venue, in the courtyard, down by the water at Polson Pier, in Underpass Park, and under my daughter’s rainbow umbrella I happened to have in my trunk – a little wedding day nod to Pride. I love the cloud cover shrouding the Toronto skyline and these dress-up skatepark scenes. As we’re finishing up, the rain comes down. And some. A welcome omen. Just in time to get inside and have a wedding.<\/p>\n

Dominic Nti officiated the ceremony with so much charisma it felt like the whole room might dissolve in a pool of laugh tears. These two have such a genuinely radiant love for one another, it’s palpable. It’s mesmerizing. I cherish these looks. The way we can see the meaning without hearing the words. All this joy and excitement held between two faces.<\/p>\n

All you need is love.<\/p>\n

dah dahn nah nah nah…the audience plays it out on kazoos as the ceremony recedes into cocktail hour, sweet and silly and totally awesome.<\/p>\n

Then (obviously) they had Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart set up alongside the cocktail bar and the band. From this point on, a pre-dinner party will never seem complete without video games and joysticks.<\/p>\n

Dinner. Speeches. Carefully worded amusements and crushing hugs.<\/p>\n

And then the bride & groom are called to the middle of the room for the first…piano duet!! It’s heart-shattering, Becky played the intro to Married Life from the movie UP, and then Nick joining in beside her to play the counter melody.<\/p>\n

Seriously.<\/p>\n

But just when you feel you’ve witnessed the true highlight of the day, Nick & Becky hit the dancefloor, and blow everybody’s minds. They are known for this – I’ve seen it before, at Becky’s sister Brittany’s wedding. They are literally on fire when it comes to dance moves.<\/p>\n

What else is there to say? The night gets danced away. These two get to share a whole bunch of years together shining in each other’s light.<\/p>\n

Simple and beautiful. The way it should be.<\/p>\n

Big love from here B&N!! xo<\/p>\n
