Reception

Our Wedding

On July, 1st, 2016 we moved in to our first home on Huckleberry road. This is the same day that Dixon proposed on our front porch. We set the date for September 9th, 2017. We chose this day because it will mark exactly 10 years since our first date. We are now inviting you to our home to celebrate our wedding. It will be an outdoor ceremony and reception so please dress for the weather. We are counting down the days to be able to celebrate with our closest friends and family. We can't wait to see you!

Our Story

Children and Pets

We wish we were able to extend our invitation to children and furry family members. However, after careful consideration we decided the wedding will not be a safe environment for little ones. Our farm has many rescue animals that are nervous of new people and/or acts out aggressively. One of our newest family members, Bubba Gump, was a rescue from the SPCA. He has been making incredible progress to be accepting of newcomers to the property but still requires a substantial amount of time to be comfortable around people. If very nervous or feeling threatened he will act out aggressively. The wedding will already be a bit overwhelming for all our animals and in order to keep everyone safe and not revert the progress we have been making, we feel it best if children and pets celebrate with us at a quieter time. We appreciate your understanding and can't wait to celebrate our day with you. If you need any assistance lining up child care or a pet sitter we have many suggestions for you.

"Chris has been like a brother to me for pretty much my whole life. We have gone to school together, lived together , worked together and learned to fly fish together. I will always remember eating candy on the shed roof and trying to make asparagus go extinct. He is still my fishing buddy to this day and am honoured to have him stand with me at my wedding."

"I met Meranda only a few years ago working at the SPCA. Our similar free-spirited and outgoing personalities made us become close friends rather quickly. Meranda is the most compassionate and one of the strongest people I know. Even though we have not been friends for decades like some of my other girls, I know I have found another friend for life."

"We have been friends, best friends and roommates. Our lives have been so similar at times that I thought she was the only human being in the world that would understand me. No matter the distance or time between us, if I ever need her I know she would always be there."

Our property will be set up for anyone wanting to spend the night. If you have a tent or a camper we will have multiple locations for you to be able to set up. Don't have one? We do. Just get in touch with us and we will make arrangements to set something up for you.If you are looking for a little more luxury there are multiple hotels, resorts and B&amp;B options in Kelowna. We have a couple suggestions below but if they don't fit what you are looking for then give us a call and we will help you find accomodation.

Camping

Our wedding will be taking place at our home located in the Joe Rich area of Kelowna. We are at 2098 Huckleberry road, approximately 20 minutes from the city. We will have parking and camping available at the house. If you choose to book accommodation at the Fairfield Inn or are able to meet there for pick up, we will arrange free transportation to and from the wedding (please note if you will require transportation when you RSVP). We please ask that you DO NOT drink and drive. Please plan to use our transportation service, spend the night or arrange a safe ride.

To and From the Wedding

One of the closest hotels to our house (driving distance is about 15 or 20 minutes) and fairly good for prices. There is a room block at this hotel so make sure to say you are part of our wedding when booking. We will also be offering transportation to and from the wedding from this hotel. If you would like to take advantage of the transportation please let us know when you RSVP. This hotel also has a water slide!

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Kelowna

If you are looking for something a little closer to the Kelowna hub... and the beach, one option is the Prestige. They will be offering a discounted rate for September 9th so be sure to quote our names with your booking. They have very limited availability for the night before the wedding so if you are looking to check in on the 8th call ASAP.
