Stunning....

Every year my husband Pat and I take turns planning our wedding anniversary. We were married Oct 28th, 2000 and this year was my turn to plan. The perfect opportunity presented itself as my cousin was getting married at Lake Louise. The bride and groom were employed at the beautiful Fairmont Hotel in Lake Louise so that made the wedding even more special. We jumped at the chance to have one last vacation before our fifth baby arrived. Even though I wasn't due until Nov 8th I gave everyone a heart attack by heading out to do the wedding. As it turned out we returned home from Lake Louise late on Friday evening and I went into labour on Sunday night. Thank Goodness little Ellie wasn't born on the road as we only made it to the hospital by about 15 minutes and the doctor didn't even have time to get there. We are so glad little Ellie arrived safe and sound and we are so grateful to have spent one last kid free night in such a beautiful place.

This year will be a hard one for Pat to beat as Ellie arrived the day before our 8th wedding anniversary. Quite an amazing gift!


Even the getting ready pictures have an amazing background.

What a gorgeous room!

The bride was glowing in the sunshine.

A unique part of the hotel. The wine bar. The groom had been the manager of the restaurant.

Simply amazing!

The groom was not to sure about heading out on the lake with no life jackets but he would do anything for his bride and man was it worth it. This is so amazing.

He proposed to her on the golden gate bridge. Pretty impresive rendition.

One of the bridesmaids told me that anything the Fairmont hotel puts on your plate is edible so everything you see on this cake you could eat. Pretty brave of them to leave a 9 month pregnant lady alone with a cake!
