Amanda and Pavitra met in their first year of medical school and quickly became friends, and then a year later began dating. Halfway through residency, they took a trip to the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately, the first day of the trip happened to coincide with the start of the countrywide shut downs due to the pandemic. Before bags were even opened, the car was packed up and the trip was over. Prior to leaving, Amanda and Pavitra went for a walk on the frozen lake and were the only two people in sight, which is when Pavitra proposed to Amanda....

Jenna and Charles really wanted their wedding to represent who they are. They went for a modern, rustic theme as they felt it captured them best as a couple. They wanted to have a fall wedding with fall colours, and chose navy as the main colour with some gold accents in the décor. Jenna and Charles had discussed the idea of getting engaged, so they knew they were ready. They felt their story was best told from Charles’ perspective. “I had bought the ring in January of 2019 and thought of several ways to propose when I came to the realization...

Photos: Casey Nolin Photography Rachael and Jeff met in 2011 when they were working across the mall from one another. Jeff had come in to Rachael’s workplace looking for lotion. Rachael thought he would be looking for a manly scent and burst out laughing when Jeff asked for a fruity scent like Mango! He went back to work smelling like a Mango, and Rachael couldn’t stop thinking about their conversation. About a week later, Rachael got Jeff’s name from his co-worker and found him on Facebook. She took a chance and asked him for his number,...

Photos: Pantel Photography Lindsey and Andrew had been friends since the eleventh grade, never leaving the friend zone for almost fifteen years until one day they realized what was in front of their faces all along.  They dated for two and a half years—bonding over their dog, Carl Winslow, spending time together at the lake, and building a relationship with a solid foundation of friendship. The couple got engaged on a trip to Vancouver with Lindsey’s sister and her boyfriend in August 2017 when Andrew popped the question in the middle of...

Photos: Pantel Photography Krista and Bret both love nature and wanted a venue that was full of greenery for their summer wedding. They were lucky enough to have Bret’s aunt and uncle agree to host their big day on their beautiful property which included horses and a picturesque tree line framing the tent. Most of all, they wanted their love for each other and their gratitude to their guests to shine through. They added personal touches by having their pup’s face on Koozies as wedding favours, along with Bret’s mom’s famous habanero jelly....

Photos: Kampphotography In true Winnipeg fashion, Carla and Nick met through friends at a Halloween wedding social. They talked for what felt like most of the night and the rest is history. One Tuesday evening in November, Carla came home from work to find the living room clean and organized and didn’t think anything of it—she was excited to see the pillows on the couch were finally where they belonged! After dinner, Nick had said he was going to teach their dog, Penny, a new trick. He proceeded to put a dog treat in Carla’s hand and took...
