So today’s the day Shawn and I fly out to Alberta for about a week for our “out-West” reception. It’s taking place this Saturday at the lovely Overlander Mountain Lodge. I hope it’s not too cold!
This reception is much smaller and more low-key than our actual wedding. It’ll have just under 60 guests, mostly my parents friends and my dad’s family (while some of them did attend our Toronto wedding, many of them were unable to). There will be a dinner, complete with wine, but sadly no open bar. And even more sadly, there won’t be dancing.
But my mom did order a cake as well as bouquets, corsages and boutonnières and a couple floral arrangements for décor. and I’m also going to bring some décor from here.
I have a second cousin who’s a professional photographer and we will be going out with him prior to the dinner to do some photos at a nearby lake, as well as take some at the actual lodge. I’m actually quite looking forward to that since I did find our wedding day photography session a little rushed since we were crushed for time.
I will be getting my hair professionally done but I’ll do my own make-up. And yes, I will be wearing my wedding dress (likely both versions) while my sister will be wearing her maid-of-honour outfit. Shawn though will be skipping the rental and bringing a suit he already owns.
