What can we say... We had to test it out first! Please join us as we (finally) tie the knot this coming October. We realize a few of you have been waiting for this for about twenty years... So have we! Better late than never right?
Ceremony will be held at 3pm at St.Saviour's Church located in Queenston, by the Niagara River, which is next to the reception venue: The Restaurant at Queenston Heights. As this is Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and we want everyone to feel relaxed and enjoy the day to the fullest, dress code is established as smart casual: Come as you are, show us what nice & comfy looks like for you!
We are so looking forward to sharing this day with you!
...
from 4:30pm to 6:00pm
The evening begins with some casual free hugs time to quickly catch up, laugh, and perhaps cry a little from just seeing each other again. We all know what's going to happen here! These emotions needed a space and time to be lived... So this is what it is, cleverly disguised as a Sparkling Reception!
