Since we'll be partying it up at the cottage, comfortable shoes are encouraged! And while we hope for sunshine, the weather will do what it does so please note it is a rain or shine event! We will have tents in case of incremental weather but please check the forecast ahead and plan your attire accordingly:)

Our Wedding

Once upon a time there was a girl from Oakville, living a traditional marketer-moved-to-the city life. Minding her own business on Queen St. West, she had no idea her world was about to change forever. Enter Radley - a one-of-a-kind guy who grew up in five different countries and who had just returned from a decade of living in China. "I think I know someone you might like" said a mutual friend, "would you be open to going on a blind date?" That first date started with a drink at the Cadillac Lounge and ended with a game of pool. Weeks later Radley would be off to India for his sister's wedding and the two would continue texting and sharing photos of their Christmas' on opposite sides of the world. Both knew they had found someone special. From there they would continue to be neighbours, then neighbours connected by underground parking, then roomies. All the while their love and confidence in one another growing with each day. Today they live happily together in Oakville, spending as much time as possible at each of their cottages and with family and friends, and can't wait to continue growing their love and exploring the world together.
