Wedding Bliss

We just got back last night from a trip to Alberta. We drove the long, 12 hour trip to celebrate Alli & Stephen's wedding day and although the drive felt long, it was well worth it.
Alli was my roommate at Bethany and holds a very special place in my heart. I have such fond memories of our late night talks, Monday night date nights (including over- ripe mango feasts), volleyball road trips together, and walking into our room with Alli either reading her Bible or knitting a scarf :) Yes...my good ol' "Granny Alli" as I called her :) Love you Alli...thanks for being such a wonderful roomie!!

Of course, we couldn't drive to Calgary without stopping at Peters' Drive-In. Delicious!!

The wedding ceremony was held at Alli's family farm, on Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful place for a wedding with all the flowers blooming and a prairie field in the background.

Alli was truly a vision of beauty! She looked IN-credible, as we knew she would :)

Her dress was gorgeous... the lace-up back and long train were stunning...

The picture below is my favorite, even though its a bit blurry. I never seem to be able to get a good picture of the couple as they're walking out, so I was very pleased with this one. Especially with the way the sun is shining on them... what a good looking pair!

You'll always be "roomie" to me Alli! Love you.

The reception was held at the Heritage Inn & Suites in Brooks (which was very convenient for us because we stayed there with Craig & Jen for the weekend). They served us a full out turkey dinner and topped it off with a large variety of cheesecakes, squares and pies. It was very fulfilling after a long day in the heat!

Here's my wonderful brother and sister-in-law, Craig & Jen. We had so much fun hanging out with them this weekend.

And last but not least, the cutting of the cake...

As you can see, the cake was gorgeous! And yes, those are REAL flowers...

So that was our weekend in a nutshell. Now I need to go do some serious packing! We have to be out of our loft and into our townhouse by the end of the month and there is still a lot of work to be done. I'll post pictures of our new place sometime this week, that way you can get the "before & after" effect. Have a great day everyone!!
