I have no freaking clue where to start when it comes to describing the wedding of Kate and Eric. I could mention her Sex and the City Manolos that I loved so much and took ten million pictures of (and tried on at the end of the night… hehe!)… or their insane band that turned the night into a crazy concert (even Daniel and I put our cameras down at some point to join the party!)… or the police escorts that lead the way to the reception… or the ice sculptures at their cocktail hour… or how her dad made a video compilation in which a bunch of Quebec celebrities wished them a happy wedding… But out of context, this all makes them sound pretty high maintenance, which couldn’t be further from the truth!
I think that when it comes down to it, they just did everything right. I realize this is a bold statement, but I really think it best sums up the day. They invested in what was important to them: the band (soooo worth it!), reception lighting (again, amazing!) and photography (I’m biased on this one so I won’t comment!). But above all, they just had the best attitude. Nothing could phase these two, not the pouring rain (which eventually magically turned into sunny skies) nor the multitude of spills on Kate’s dress or Eric’s suit. They were willing to do everything and anything with photos - even jump into the pool at the end of the night (although the hotel management didn’t want us doing this after hours so that plan had to be put to rest). These two were so happy and grateful to just be there, and as a result they just enjoyed every single moment.
All in all, this wedding was a huge hit. Daniel and I agree that we’ve rarely had so much fun at any wedding and I can’t say enough good things about Kate and Eric. They leave for Italy tomorrow and we promised to get a post up before they go, so here ya go guys!
You can view their slideshow below. We chose James Morison’s Please Don’t Stop the Rain, a song about not fretting the stuff you can’t control and how having someone by your side makes this easier to do. Quite appropriate for Kate and Eric, I think. Oh, and yes, that is me in the photobooth with Kate’s shoe…
