Anne-Marie and Matt - July 28, 2007


Anne-Marie and Matt's day was all about family, friends, and good times. Both of their families are very close-knit, and this was evident in so many aspects of their day. In fact, Anne-Marie's uncle flew all the way from Italy to perform the ceremony at the beautiful Holy Rosary Cathedral. Later that evening, both Anne-Marie and Matt's parents and siblings gave very touching speeches that left everyone a little weepy! Family and friends were able to take advantage of super-fun carousel rides, since the cocktail reception was held in the Carousel Pavilion at Burnaby Village - and let me just say that antique carousels go a LOT faster than what I'm sure is the safety standard for today's carousels! The party continued with Anne-Marie's fathers' band, Killarney, performing traditional Irish music, which was fabulous! This is the same band that performs at the famed Blarney Stone in Gastown, so it was a real treat to hear them play at the reception. True to her Irish heritage, Anne-Marie got up with several other ladies and performed some amazing Riverdance-style Irish dancing. It was a fantastic day and we were honoured to be a part of it!
