Many couples dream of a wedding abroad, perhaps on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean, with the sun setting in the distance. It would be fair to say that our decision to have our wedding abroad is a bit of a twist on the conventional. You see, the Caribbean Sea is in our backyard, literally; we live in Grand Cayman. And so, our decision to wed abroad meant for us that we would head back to Toronto, where it all began, to be among family and friends instead of on a beach!
Needless to say, it was a decision that would raise a few eyebrows and merits some criticism but ultimately, crisp, cool weather, vibrant fall colours and everyone we love in one place was exactly what we pictured and to watch it come to life was magic!
We knew that the decision to plan a wedding from a distance would come with certain challenges but I didn't really appreciate how tricky it would be. That is why it was especially important to me to have people who I could trust and who shared my vision for the day on board and I found those qualities and more in Rachel and her team. |
