The offbeat bride: Marie-Eve, graphic designer
My offbeat groom: Vincent, maître d’hôtel
Location & date of wedding: Manoir des Érables’s gardens, in Montmagny (a little city in the province of Québec, Canada) June 16, 2007

“I want it to be FUN, not PERFECT” was my mantra
We choose our readings from children books and Beatles songs and wrote a special one for our family members. We also had a few of my sister’s friends playing some wonderful live music: we walked in on “Here comes the Sun” and run out on “All you need is Love.” Read the rest of this entry »
