Our Wedding

As luck should have it, Brittany and Mitch first crossed paths at a St. Patrick's Day party in 2017, but as often happens with life’s winding roads, their real story didn't begin until a freezing January morning in 2020... Brittany was living in the east end of St. John's and woke up to see that her Saturn Ion was completely snowed in. Not in the mood to face it, she procrastinated by scrolling through her phone when she saw a familiar face pop up... Mitch. A quick swipe right and some chatting turned into an offer from him to help shovel out her car. In the days that followed, they went on many drives, always stopping into Tim Horton's for some beverages along the way. Sipping their tea and coffee, they talked about everything on their minds and quickly warmed up to each other. Then, the news hit: a storm was brewing, one so massive it was sure to bring the city to a standstill. Mitch had stopped by Brittany's house to surprise her by dropping off some storm supplies (so thoughtful!) but ended up extending an invitation to ride out the storm with him and his brother, Kris, at their place for the night. She accepted, unbeknownst to her she would end up staying at his apartment for much longer than a night. Snowmageddon became a national emergency and they suddenly had all the time in the world to get to know each other. Then, unbelievably, COVID-19 hit a mere month later. This time it was a Global Emergency. They decided to move into a house together and share their bubble. The relationship seemed to move quickly, but after two major events "forcing" them to spend so much time together, they had felt like they had known each other for years rather than months. Throughout their relationship, Mitch had somehow made Brittany a football fan (Go Bills and Titans!) and most importantly, Brittany's dog, Pavlov, fell in love with Mitch (which sealed the deal). After almost 5 years and Brittany not-so-subtly reminding him that it was taking too long, Mitch surprised her by proposing in front of the heart arch at the Merry and Bright Light Show on December 18, 2024. And now, they are here and excited to celebrate with all of you!

Our Story

Photos

After proposing in December, Mitch had no idea that Brittany had the wedding practically planned and they would be walking down the aisle in less than a year. He can't wait to marry the love of his life, celebrate with all of his favourite people, and most importantly finally see how all of this wedding planning comes to life!

Mitch 

After months (years) of anticipatory planning and diving into checklists, wedding shows and endless Pinterest inspo pages, Brittany can't wait to marry her person. Here's to spending the day surrounded by loved ones, enjoying great food, and celebrating a dream wedding with her soul mate!

Brittany

Mitch and Kris didn’t just grow up as brothers—they were inseparable best friends, making Kris the natural choice to stand by Mitch as his Best Man. Known for being a party master, Kris has a unique ability to ignite any room with energy. With him in the mix, you can bet the celebration will be nothing short of legendary.

Kris

Best friends for as long as they can remember, the Bride couldn't imagine having anyone else stand as the Maid of Honor. Brittany will be there to fluff the dress, keep the drinks flowing and to deliver a speech that will either make everyone laugh, cry, or seriously regret giving her a microphone.

With his quick wit and laid-back charm, Ben has always been the guy to keep things fun and light-hearted. Whether it's family gatherings, road trips, or just hanging out, he brings a calm energy that makes every moment more enjoyable. Now, as a groomsman, he's ready to stand by Mitch's side and help to make sure this wedding is a great one.

The closest thing to a sister she'll ever have, Brittany can’t imagine celebrating this special day without Abigail by her side. With her infectious smile and vibrant energy, Abigail is sure to set the tone and keep everyone smiling. She's guaranteed to be the first one to hit the dance floor and the last to leave.

Taking on one of the most prestigious roles in the wedding, Jayden will be walking Pavlov down the aisle. With his quick wit, stylish glasses, and undeniable charm, he's ready to make sure Pavlov stays on track --  unless something catches her eye. In that case... we'll see who's actually walking who.

Jayden

Hands down the most important member of the wedding party, 10-year-old Pavlov has been there for every milestone in this love story. She's had a rough year, but like the resilient queen she is, she's back on her paws and ready to steal the show.  Just don't expect her to stick to the script... if there's a treat involved, all bets are off.
