The two of them won the 7 day Honeymoon to London, England Courtesy of UNIGlobe Geo Travel and Transat Holidays!

Here is their engagement story:

Our engagement day began at 10:30 am on October 29, 2011. When I got to his house, I saw that he had decorated the dining room for a beautiful, romantic brunch for two. The table was set for two with turquoise daisies as the center piece (My favorite flower [...]

On your wedding day, you still want to look like yourself, just a more perfect version. This is where make-up comes in, but remember that you still have to suit your theme and be true to yourself. You don't want to have so much make-up on that your groom can barely recognize you.

2012 make-up trends are leaning towards a natural look. Clean, clear skin, and creamy blushes in peaches and pinks. Since vintage glamour is becoming increasingly popular, bright red lips and soft smoky eyes are in. [...]

J'lyn & Jim ~ August 17, 2012

Friday December 9th started like every other Friday. Up at 3:30 in the morning, off to do my morning radio show at 92.5 JOE FM in Edmonton, Alberta but wow did that soon change. At 9:45 my boss Greg handed me a letter from Jim which stated that the next 24 hours would be all about me. He asked if I remembered that a year ago was the day of the surprise birthday party he planned for me? Um, no. He remembered of course...and [...]

When going to a wedding, it's typically customary to bring some sort of gift. Usually the happy couple will register at a useful store, with a list of the things they want or need, and guests from the wedding can purchase them. Usually these places stores, like The Bay, Campers Village, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Outfitters and Sears to name a few, all with the intentions of buying the bride and groom that lovely crystal bowl which they can serve [...]

The date has been set, the invitations mailed out. The bridesmaids and groomsmen have been chosen, and colors decided upon. All of these things provide you a general idea of what your day is going to look like, but when your guests walk into that ceremony, what do you want them to see?

Over the years I've gone to my fair share of family weddings, and as I'm getting older, I've started getting more invites to dear friends of mines special days. And the one thing that remains consistent throughout is the ceremony decorations.

When [...]

Tiffany and Jeff ~ 06/16/2012

Jeff had planned a trip to Victoria for Tiffany's birthday. He asked her if there was anything she wanted to see or do while they were there. Tiffany really wanted to go to the Butterfly Museum because she had gone there as a child and broken her camera so she had no pictures.

Not only did Tiffany love butterflies, but they have a special connection with Jeff and Tiffany because when they first started dating they saw a butterfly on every date they went [...]
