A Sophisticated Wedding In Ottawa, Ontario

Updated Apr 11, 2016 | By Weddingbells

Christmas was that much sweeter for Jade and Niko, who got engaged on the merry holiday. “I was trying on a beautiful blue leather jacket for Niko and his family,” Jade explains. “As I was modelling my new gift I put my hand in the pocket and found a tiny ring box. Niko grabbed it out of my hand, got down on one knee and proposed.” Together, the pair planned an elegant wedding day with a retro 1980’s twist. “We had an ’80’s cover band, and we gave all of our guests sunglasses, à la Tom Cruise in Risky Business, in different neon colours,” Jade explains. “Everyone wore them all night, and it put all our guests in the mood for dancing!” For a late-night snack, guests enjoyed a variety of scrumptious desserts as well as a poutine bar featuring a wide selection of various gravies, meats and cheeses.
