Shantel and Sean met on Christmas Day in 2012. Not wanting either of the two to be alone on Christmas Day, Sean's sister, who Shantel worked with, invited them over for dinner, and there was instant chemistry. "It was a night of witty banter, lots of laughs, and an 'inkling' that there was something there between the two of us," Shantel says with a laugh. "Several months later when we were both single, Sean asked Heather for my number, and we went on our first date the next night."
The couple wanted to plan a unique, out of the ordinary event that their guests would remember. Rose gold, navy and slate grey details were sprinkled throughout, with vibrant pops of coral. "The handmade rose gold frames suspended from the venue ceiling were one of my favourite details," Shantel shares.
Special moments happened throughout the day, but especially during the ceremony. "Seeing each other for the first time at the church is one of my favourite memories," Shantel recalls. "Sean teared up when he said his vows, and also when I surprised him with the engraving on his wedding band, which read 'Forever My Strength.'"
