Our Wedding

Welcome

The big day.

As many of you already know, we are officially tying the knot on Saturday, August 4, 2018.&nbsp;

We hope to keep everyone informed and answer any questions! We will continue to add information and more details.&nbsp;





While some of the details are not narrowed down exactly (like times), the wedding ceremony and reception will take place at Abby's parent's house at 10 Queen Elizabeth Drive. We are hoping to have a pretty short turnaround time between ceremony and reception. Just long enough to get some pictures of the bride, groom, wedding party and immediate family at Victoria Park. There will be snacks,&nbsp;drinks and games&nbsp;available for guests while they wait for the bridal party to return for dinner.&nbsp; 





In order to allow all guests, including parents, an evening of relaxation we have chosen for our wedding day to be an adult only occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our big day and will enjoy having the evening off.&nbsp;



We hope to arrange some wedding week activities. We will keep you updated on these events! Please don't feel any pressure to attend. There will be family and friends from away so we will probably doing those typical PEI&nbsp;touristy things like deep sea fishing, beach, lobster suppers, etc.&nbsp;

Recently out of long term relationships, we were adamant we weren't looking for anything more than a friendship. It all started with a late night Facebook&nbsp;message just looking for someone to chat with (and Spencer advertising his grad photo package for my upcoming graduation in May). In the following six months we chatted, partied, ate Dominos and watched The Bachelor.&nbsp;Spencer even&nbsp;moved off to Halifax at the beginning of June. By June 24 (Spencer's birthday), I arrived with lasagna and cupcakes to celebrate his champagne birthday. I won him over with the cupcakes. The rest was history.&nbsp;

Here we are, 7 years later -&nbsp;a house, 2 dogs, a cat&nbsp;and a wedding on the agenda.&nbsp; It may not have taken place when we wanted, but I&nbsp;think we can all agree that in hindsight, it was exactly what both of us needed.&nbsp;

How we met.

Spencer&nbsp;knocked the proposal out of the park.&nbsp;

Early Saturday morning, after 20cm snow had fallen, we head out to Winter River - our favourite dog walking trails.



After a late evening at They Alley the night before,&nbsp;Spencer suggests we look half presentable on our dog walk so we can take the GoPro and take some family photos. Great idea. We do it all the time!





So we walked almost&nbsp;the WHOLE Winter River Trail. I&nbsp;help Spencer set up the GoPro on a tree. He clamps it onto a tree trunk with some sticks here and there to keep the camera straight. Super normal for us. Still not thinking anything of it.&nbsp;







Meanwhile, he has charged the GoPro but the cold temperatures have started to drain the battery so the low battery light has started to flash. He turns to me, red faced, a little panicked, and tells me he has something to ask me.&nbsp;







I still wasn't sure what was about to happen. Part of me is like 'OMG is this it?! Finally!! Woohoo!!' and the other part is like 'well don't get too excited, maybe he is going to ask if we can stop at Canadian Tire or Tim Horton's on the drive home.'&nbsp;







He proposed. He got down on one knee and presented the most beautiful ring I have ever seen.&nbsp;







I remember very little of the moment. He recorded the whole thing (hence the GoPro). While I&nbsp;would prefer to never see this video again, the reality is that we will probably play it for everyone to see at the wedding. There is a lot of screaming. A lot of 'oh my god - do my parents know about this?!'&nbsp;







One of my favourite parts of the story is after&nbsp;we go back to town. Pit stop at Mom's house to tell her. Dad already knew about it. Mom is out running the roads and wants me to meet her at the Farmer's Market. I&nbsp;call her and tell her to meet me at the house. She still has no idea why. She insists that I just get dropped off at the Farmer's Market. Nope. Can't do it. You're going to have to come home and get me. She was a little put out but agreed.&nbsp;







By the time she gets to the house, it's about 11:30am? We're all having a beer. GALE&nbsp;IS&nbsp;NOT&nbsp;PLEASED.&nbsp;







- 'Why are you all drinking?'&nbsp;







- I hold the can of beer out in my left hand - 'Ma, do you want one?'&nbsp;







- 'No I don't want one - it's not even noon yet'&nbsp;







- 'Are you sure you don't want one?' as I&nbsp;put my hand, still holding the beer, closer to her.&nbsp;







She just looks pissed.&nbsp;







I put the beer down and hold my left hand up *typical 'I'M&nbsp;ENGAGED' hand gesture* 'MOM!!!!'







'Oh my god - you just made my Christmas!'&nbsp;

His proposal. December 17, 2016.

Cousin of the bride and the closest thing to a sister that I'll ever have.

Christie Love

Michael McQuillan

Best friend of the bride since grade 2. Partner in crime would probably be the best way to describe our earlier years.&nbsp;Things have gotten a little more boring and quiet now that we've matured. Still always there for a lame joke or gossip session. Still our own biggest fans.&nbsp;

Margaret Douglas

Spencer's younger sister, daughter to Anne and Paul Cheverie.

We will have the Rehearsal, dinner and party on Thursday August 2, 2018 in Mom's backyard. We expect the tent will be set up by then. We can do a run through of the ceremony, have some food and&nbsp;probably do some decorating.
