Kristen & Everett

Calahoo, AB

"Everett and I met through friends at a party and we were both in relationships at the time so we never thought anything of it. We would always run into each other out and about and say we should hang out but never did. A while later we matched up through online dating and thought we may as well go on a date and the rest was history- we couldn't get enough of each other!

We moved in together after 7 months and bought our first house together after a year. Got engaged after a year and a half and then got married in June 2019. He proposed with a ring and a puppy in our home and it was an obvious YES from me. 

I always knew I wanted a fitted lace dress of some sort but wasn't exactly sure what would suit me or not. The girls at Novelle made my experience so amazing and helped pick out the exact styles I had in mind. I tried a few dresses on and then my sister pointed out the Viola on a mannequin. I wasn't sure about it but I tried it on anyway and it was everything I dreamed of and more. This wave of emotion came over me when my bridesmaids, Mom, Mother in Law and Grandma, all had tears in their eyes when they saw me turn around in it. It was the one! The woman helping me made me feel so happy and excited to have made my choice and the whole experience was unforgettable. 

Our wedding day was truly the best day of my entire life. It went by in a blink of an eye but I'm so thankful to have amazing photos and videos of the day. I wouldn't have changed a single thing about it except I wish that it could have went on just a little bit longer (especially so I could have stayed in my dress longer!) Our ceremony was outdoors on my friend's acreage and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. The reception was at Calahoo Hall and we had around 280 of our closest friends and family to help us celebrate becoming Mr & Mrs!"
