Thank you to Calgary Wedding Photographer, Corrina Walker for submitting this beautiful wedding!

Leah and Andrew first met at the University of Calgary in early 2007 through a mutual friend.  When they initially met, Andrew introduced himself only to have Leah say, “Hi, my name is Leah but I will probably never see you again.”  Andrew being of competitive nature took this as a challenge and pursued a friendship with Leah. Throughout their time together at the university they often frequented the campus Starbucks, had many in-depth discussions and always found a way to share laughter. This friendship bloomed into a relationship in October 2007. Though Leah was now living in Lethbridge, they spent nearly every weekend commuting back and forth to each other. In September 2009 Andrew moved down to Lethbridge (absolute proof he loved Leah). Since that time, they have grown immensely as a couple and have had both hardships and joyous occasions together.  Andrew and Leah share a love of learning, physical activity, cultural events, music, and family time together.When reflecting back on their wedding, Leah and Andrew remember their excitement of becoming man and wife, the special moments they shared together and the hard work of each of their vendors to make their day perfect. Every detailed was taken care of and the couple felt it contributed to the beauty of each location and certainly reduced their stress. Their wedding represented who they are as a couple; fun, charming and modern and the only thing they wish is to re-live the happiness and the beauty of that day!

Their service was at Knox United church and the reception was held at the Glencoe Golf and Country club.  Though initially attracted to the well-manicured grounds and the tall windows in the reception hall, the staff and meals provided met the Glencoe’s excellent reputation of high quality, and they still get compliments about the fabulous food. They incorporated a professional candy-bar for favours and had elegant arrangements of orchids around the room and as their centerpieces.

Says Leah and Andrew, “Our favourite part of the day, was when we took 5 minutes alone to walk and embrace the moment.  Though it was a busy day, those 5 minutes were the first where we were able to share being husband and wife together alone.”

“Corrina (Corrina Walker Photography) was our photographer; she was personable, professional and provided us with photographs that captured our happiness and passion during the day.  For us, photography was an important area to focus our attention to-as these will allow you to “re-live” each moment of your wedding day.”

Debra and Cyril were introduced 5 years ago at the HIFI club by a mutual DJ friend. (that DJ also played at their wedding!). They were great friends for about a year before they officially started dating. How did Cyril proposed? It was a Sunday afternoon at home. They had just finished their regular morning routine and he proposed in the living room. After the fact he confessed that he was going to plan an elaborate surprise, however did not in the end because it just isn’t who they are individually or as a couple. The best times for them are the Sundays spent at home just hanging out and enjoying each others company and Cyril ultimately wanted the proposal to be a true reflection of that. Debra’s favorite thing about Cyril is that he is the best person she knows. He’s kind, generous and patient. When she asked Cyril what his favorite thing about Debra was he said  “ That’s impossible to answer, there isn’t one thing about you that stands out. I love everything about you.”
