Calgary Wedding Photographer – Perry Thompson featuring Lindsay and Morgan

Happy Friday! This is such a beautiful story sent to me via Calgary Wedding Photographer Perry Thompson of Lindsay and Morgan’s breath taking destination wedding in Mexico. What makes it even more special to me is the story behind the wedding.

Check out the slide show at the end of the story submitted by Perry on this stunning destination wedding at the Dreams Puerto Adventuras in Mexico.

Here is what Lindsay says…

“Morgan and I met in High School and we were good friends through out and lost touch after leaving school. I ended up moving to the US after my mother died of Pancreatic Cancer. Constantly searching for something greater than me to create a better life, I found yoga. I ended up teaching around the world and felt the need to settle down. I recently added Morgan to facebook and we started talking again. I never thought of him romantically and we ended up talking about a yoga studio. Long story short, he the business side, me the yoga, we decided to go through with it. The day the lease for the space was signed I realized I started falling for him. The advice that I received from friends always said the same thing…. do not date someone you work with as it’s destination for disaster!” I had to tell them “no choice” as I had decided if he said that he did not like me in that way, it was early enough for me to let it go. We went out for dinner and he asked me to tell him something about myself he didn’t already know so I thought, perfect chance. I then simply told him, ” I am falling for you.” I couldn’t look up and I could feel the redness in my face. I then asked Morgan to tell me something about himself that I don’t already know. He replied, ” I have had the biggest crush on you since high school.” So there it was, the answer I needed!  We spent 24hours a day together working on opening the studio. Some days were great, some days were the worse. By the time the studio opened I had felt we had been through everything. Six months after we opened, Morgan went to Yoga Teacher Training. On their graduation night from their 9 week intensive training course, all the students would celebrate with a blessing from our guru and receive their certificate. When Morgan went to take a picture with our Guru, I was allowed to take a picture with the both of them to celebrate the moment. Morgan then grabbed the microphone and asked our guru for his blessings because Morgan wanted to ask me to marry him. All 450 graduates and teachers were screaming in shock and joy. I could barely stand.

We decided to get married on 11.11.11 as everywhere we went, 11-11 was there. I looked it up and found to see it frequently meant ‘creating synchronicity in your life’. I took it as a special omen, or good luck. We got married at Dreams Puerto Adventuras resort in Mexico. It was perfect as thirty of our closest friends and family attended, it was simple and spectacular and the resort was more than accommodating as the ceremony and reception were wonderful…. no complaints.

A rainbow came out when I was walking down the aisle. Morgan thought it was my mom….”

Thank you for sharing Lindsay. Namaste.
