Our Wedding

our love story is one where we prove that you can actually make it out of the friendzone… We both met on our first day of grade 8, both awkwardly trying to navigate the hallways of Burnsview. This is where our friendship started but not where our relationship began. For the next 5 years we spent this time building the foundation of who we are. Fast forward to the first summer after university and this is where our friendship transitioned into our love story and we’ve never looked back. We then spent the next 10 years growing a life together including going on many adventures around the world, to starting our careers and to getting a dog to boss us around. We moved out of our parents homes in 2021 and have been living together ever since. We’ve gone to countless countries from Mexico to Australia to Italy and more. These adventures became the pillar of our relationship. 10 years after we started dating and Alex decided to put a ring on it, and here we are now planning our next big adventure; our wedding!

Wedding itinerary

What is the address of the venue? Willow Garden Farm - 29089 Haverman Rd, Abbotsford, BC V4X 1Z2

Are children welcome? We both love all the children in our lives and want them there to celebrate with us. We also understand that as parents you may want a night to yourselves so if you want to leave your kids with the grandparents too that’s up to you!

When do we need to RSVP by? Please RSVP by April 1st so we can get final details and counts to our vendors.

What should I wear? Both the ceremony and reception are outside. We will have tents to provide shade for our guests but cannot control the heat. That being said please wear semi-formal attire that won’t make you overheat and shoes that allows you to walk on grass as they reception is fully on grass fields.

Do you have a gift registry? We do not expect a gift from anyone but a contribution towards our honeymoon trip would be greatly appreciated.

What time should I arrive to the venue? Please arrive at 2:45pm no earlier, the ceremony will start at 3:15pm. We ask everyone to be seated by 3pm.

Is there parking on site? Yes! There is parking on site but it is limited. If need be you can leave your car at the venue overnight but it does need to be picked up by 10am the next morning. Please try carpooling if possible or Ubers and taxis are great options and readily available in the area :)
