After Jessica told Brad -- who she had just met at a pub while watching the Canucks playoff game -- that she was fond of beer and hockey, he proclaimed her his future wife. On July 28, 2012, the two were officially married in a romantic outdoor wedding with 120 guests in attendance. Set against the lush backdrop of Merridale Estate Cidery, Jessica and Brad took photos on the sprawling grounds before exchanging vows. The pair then proceeded to a relaxing reception where they enjoyed a sumptuous meal with their friends and family. "Our three criteria for choosing a wedding venue were that it was outside, with good wine and great food. Merridale was a slam dunk in all three categories. The setting was lovely and simple, the food was magnificent, and the local wines and ciders were perfect complements to the amazing menu," says Jessica.
