Joyfully invite you to celebrate with them on

Our Story
We met, we fell in love, and now we are throwing a very extravagant party to celebrate our lives together with our family and friends! Great food, fancy outfits, and a well stocked bar to top it all off!
​
In other words, we're getting married!
The Wedding Party
The Bridesmaids (& Bridesman)
Shelby Stock
Shelby is the fabulous matron of honor and sister of the bride! Just ask her, she will agree she is fabulous, maybe not the sister part though... depends on the day! We left Shelby in charge of the ring bear, she seemed really excited about that! Not sure why, it's just a kid with a pillow right?
Jaime-Lynn Burnside
Jaime is the maid of honour! Brought together by long hours and grumpy customers and bonded by their differences (Jaime spills, and Chelsie cleans), the friendship blossomed into a 11 year conversation that has never truly ended.
Mackenzie Lane
Kenzie brought a wonderful group of women together with a simple purchase almost 11 years ago and everything was uphill from there! She is the source of delicious wine, great laughs, and she will never judge you for bringing barefoot moscato to a girls' night!
Rudie Jimenez
Rudie is the inspirational sense of calm you need one moment and the reason for playing hide and seek in the mall the next. Even after 13 years of friendship, she will always be wonderfully unpredictable.
Kelly Kaczynski
Kelly is the uber-stylish woman who chose the brides brother and we could not be any more thankful to have her as part of our family! Plus, her presence encourages Sam to cut his hair every now and then, bonus!
Chad Shennett
Chad is the brides high-school best friend and date for all of the awful movies released in the last 20 years. Although Chad's first choice was the flower girl role, he will always be there to support the bride, no matter what!
The Groomsmen
Mike Griffin
From snowmobiling in the fields of the Griffin property to scuba diving the coral reefs of the Philippines, Mike and Ryan have been chasing adrenaline together for 18 years.
Craig Bryan
Even though most of their friendship has been spent apart, (Halifax, Ireland and now Regina), whenever they are reunited, its like the 3 Amigos are journeying across Central and South America again.
Leigh Pascoe
In the early years of their friendship, machine gunning each other into oblivion in the Pascoe's basement was top priority. Playing Halo, of course. As "adults", they have commiserated on renovations and their lack of timelines.
James Michener
In the nearly 7 years of living with James, Ryan has come to learn two things #1. There's NO ONE faster at changing into pajamas and #2. He's the most easy going, supportive roommate one could ever hope to have.
Justin Morton
Justin's love of canoeing all started on a canoe trip along the Tim River with Craig, Mike and Ryan. Since then, he's built his own beautiful cedar strip canoe and introduced a passion for the outdoors to the rest of his family.
Duncan Smith-Halverson
Duncan and Ryan met in Halifax and it was love at first sight. Ever since, they have traveled far and wide on romantic getaways including Spain and France. Oh wait... was that Chelsie? No, definitely Duncan!
The Officiant
Blake Stacy
Blake has been a backwoods buddy to the bride and groom over many kilometres of river rapids, wetlands and portage trails. His in-canoe singing voice rivals no other, and he has taught us the most valuable life lesson of all; hot things are hot!

Registry
We know it's not traditional
and not the way it's done,
but rather than a list of gifts
we would love a bit of sun!
​
So, if you would like to give a gift
and send us on our way
a donation to our honeymoon
would really make our day!
