We all know that not every wedding runs according to plan. I think of that duck analogy about the duck being so graceful on the water's surface while his legs are kicking madly beneath it. Thanks to some circumstances in the morning, Stephanie handled the setbacks with elegance and grace. Later in the evening one of her bridesmaids said it best, "Stephanie endures the worst but always comes out looking the best". Her grandma walked her down the aisle and neither of them could contain their smiles as they walked towards Ross. From this point on, the day was perfect. They chose Toronto's Hunt Club for it's historic interiors and both of them looked unreal against it. They both were eager to get the formal stuff like cake cutting out of the way so they could hit the dance floor. Once they did the night ended with a room filled with dancing and smiles.

Those earings are actually an heirloom!

Gorgeous bouquet thanks to the awesome people at King West Flowers

Hunt Club was such an awesome background.

You know they say it's best to be memorable. Even when it's not necessarily a good memory, just be remembered. This was Chris's unintentional strategy when first meeting Joanna. They met while dancing and that night ended with Chris stepping on Joanna's shoes. You do not step on a shoe girl's brand new shoes! Scuffed shoes did not mean the end for these two though. Destiny dropped them into each others lives again, this time no shoes were harmed. Love took over and carried them to their gorgeous wedding day. There were elements of the two of them everywhere. All of the family they're so passionate about, Joanna's sparkling shoes, Chris's hand made Italian suite. And how could an Italian wedding be complete without the tarantella. I loved watching some of the senior members of the family transform from seated statues into whimsical dancers. This couple and their family made an impression on me. I won't be able to forget their flare, energy and love...memorable even without getting my shoes stepped on :)
