Sabine and David celebrated an intimate fall wedding in Halifax, the same city where they met as students at Dalhousie University. With just 45 guests in attendance, Sabine and David were able to create a warm, fall wedding filled with thoughtful details. After exchanging vows in the whimsical garden of the Halliburton House Inn — decorated with paper lanterns for the occasion — Sabine and David joined their guests for an indoor reception featuring an oyster bar, one of the couple’s favourite elements of their intimate autumn wedding. Sabine and David supported many local businesses throughout the celebration, include the Halifax Market, which provided sea blooms for the floral arrangements. As sweet finale to the fall wedding, guests were presented with jars of organic Nova Scotia honey.

<strong>How they met:</strong> "We met at Dalhousie University in Halifax, when Dave asked me out on a date to watch a local play," explains Sabine.<br />
<br />
<strong>Engagement story:</strong> “Dave had asked me in June if he could come and spend Christmas in Ontario with my family and I," Sabine recalls. "Apparently as he went through airport security he had the ring in his jacket pocket. Luckily I had gone through first when the security personnel asked him if I knew anything about it to which he replied that I didn’t. They shielded the x-ray monitor from my view and wished Dave a Merry Christmas. On Christmas Day we went skiing at a local hill and that evening we went for a walk in the snow around my Grandmother’s house. Right there and then he got down on one knee in the snow and asked me to marry him."<br />
