Reception

Our Wedding

Their love story dates all the way to 2010 when they&nbsp;were&nbsp;introduced&nbsp;&nbsp;on New Years Eve&nbsp;&nbsp;by Jenn’s&nbsp;best friends, Allie (their&nbsp;Maid Of Honor) and&nbsp;Elyse (their&nbsp;bridesmaid). &nbsp;John Mike&nbsp;asked Jenn&nbsp;on many&nbsp;dates over the next month as he knew right away,&nbsp;she was the one. &nbsp;Then, on Valentines Day, 2011, he built up the courage to ask her to be his one and only. &nbsp;They&nbsp;continued on as high school sweethearts for some time moving in to&nbsp;their&nbsp;college and university days.&nbsp; That's when&nbsp;Jenn&nbsp;&nbsp;became the cutest little&nbsp;rink rat, following John Mike's hockey games&nbsp;all over the province.&nbsp; &nbsp;Once they&nbsp;graduated and moved onto their current career paths, they bought a house together and have made it a beautiful home. &nbsp;&nbsp;It was in&nbsp;the warmth&nbsp;of this&nbsp;home&nbsp;where John Mike&nbsp;proposed on Christmas morning&nbsp;of 2018. &nbsp; She said "yes"! It has now&nbsp;been over 9 years since they first came&nbsp;together&nbsp;and they are so&nbsp;very&nbsp;excited to start this next chapter of their lives. &nbsp;They can not wait to&nbsp;celebrate their love with family and friends&nbsp;on their special day in September.

Fast forward to Covid-19!!!!&nbsp; Nova Scotia goes in to a state of emergency -- Leading us to cancel our&nbsp;plans&nbsp;and celebrations for&nbsp;Aug. 29th&nbsp;with great disappointment.&nbsp; Three&nbsp;different wedding dates later, and,&nbsp; here we are&nbsp;finally&nbsp;celebrating our special day now that some restrictions were lifted because we just can't wait any longer&nbsp;(though&nbsp;it will be on a&nbsp;slightly smaller scale for now)&nbsp;on September 12, 2020!!&nbsp; This is one for the books for sure and we can't wait to become husband and wife!! ......................."After all this time. I still love you. It's always been you. It was you yesterday. It was you today. It will be you tomorrow. And for the rest of my life, it will be you."
