Cheryl & Dave tied the knot last Friday evening in a wonderful ceremony in Cambridge, ON. As they are both a "bit older" and this was their first wedding, their family & friends were so excited for them both! Knowing their families' excitement, Cheryl & Dave's officiant announced at the end of the ceremony that they had chosen a special song for their recessional - in honour of their families. And with that, the "Hallelujah Chorus" came on and everyone broke out in applause & laughter as they made their way triumphantly down the aisle!! The reality is, if Cheryl's older brother had been still been alive and was at the wedding, we all know he would have yelled out a hearty "Hallelujah!" upon their introduction as 'Mr & Mrs'.... so it was a fitting song and a special tribute to her brother!
The weather certainly kept us on our toes as it would change from rain to sun every few minutes it seemed. Driving to the photo shoot, it was raining. Arrived to the site in the sun & managed to stay dry for the time needed to get some great photos - and then as we drove back, it poured rain again! But all worked out in the end!
The reception began with the Bride & Groom being "greeted" by family members blowing on party noise-makers!! Then, a surprise video montage was presented of Cheryl & Dave - all in great fun & good taste! The evening ended with an "English Country Dance" - very much like a square dance, but more of "waltz" type music than "country" music. It was so much fun and almost all of the guests were up and participating - even those who typically don't dance!
Congratulations Cheryl & Dave on a wonderful wedding day!
