Ali & Rod

We spent yesterday with the most wonderful couple - Ali & Rod. They have such energy and spririt, and they are truly in love with each other. It is unfortunately rare, it seems, to find the kind of family bonds that we were witness to yesterday. Ali has two incredible moms - both of whom she loves dearly. And Rod has a wonderful set of parents as well. The bonds that these families have forged are something that I hope Steve and I can give to our own children. We felt so privledged to be part of their family for the day.

Ali is a beautiful girl. Stunning, actually. Her vivacious personality makes her outward beauty even more evident. And Rod is just an all around good guy. Together, they make an unbeatable pair. Their teamwork was evident in every aspect of the wedding day. From the programs and place cards, through to the meal selections and choice of DJ - these two created an amazing event.

Ali & Rod charted one of Vancouver's trolleys for the day. I always love it when people do this as the trolleys are way easier to get in and out of than limos are, and they are so fun to hang out it. Everyone can be together and the quaintness of the trolley helps maintain the energy level of the bridal party.

After the ceremony at St. Andrew's Wesley, we boarded the trolley for Granville Island, then Yaletown, and then onto the reception at the Terminal City Club. It was a great day!


Ali's father had passed away, but she carried photos of him with her the entire day:





And one of our favorite couples from 2005 - Lynette & Ryan. It was so great to see these guys again:
