Shonna & Joel's wedding

On Monday, July 19th, we were delighted to witness the marriage of our friends Shonna and Joel. It was a lovely summer day and the venue was the Bridge House Restaurant in North Vancouver.

Here are some photos of their beautiful day:

The marquee (which we and a few others arrived early to decorate)...

Here comes the bride...

Signing...





The recessional song ("You're My Best Friend")...



Rings...





Newlyweds...







While the bride and groom were off getting photos taken between the ceremony and the reception, the guests had free entry to Capilano Suspension Bridge across the road - Vancouver's oldest tourist attraction...







The bride and groom arriving back for lunch...



Insert scrumptious buffet meal here - the only photo Ben took was of the bread pile...

What a wonderful day - we were so happy to be there!

Beautiful pics! Wow, "You're my best friend" sounds awesome...made me so nostalgic to listen. You'd better get your voice warmed up and your guitar dusted off for when you're back in Oz!!
