My day started off at 7am, with a morning Chloe ting workout followed by a shower. My make-up artists were arriving at 10am that day. Both Anita Lee and Sarah Katsuno arrived at the same time. Then we got started. I basically told Anita to do her magic. My hair inspo was the following:
Jared our videographer was scheduled to arrive around 12:20 am to do the get-ready shoot for me and Michael. Michael arrived around 12. I had him wait downstairs so he doesn't see me. Jared worked with him outside to do some get-ready shots with him and then Jared did some with me. We did our first look just outside my mom's house. Afterwards, my brother ordered Chinese food for lunch: we had beef with bitter melon on rice, baked pork chop on rice, salty fish fried rice. Had lunch with dad, bro, mom and me. Around 2:30 we headed out to Squamish airport to meet up with my officiant: Tracy Kerr, and Krista from Lumina. The drive to Squamish was about an hour and 30 mins and it went smoothly not much traffic. We got to Squamish at 4pm and then we had our wedding ceremony at Alice Lake. The ceremony was about 2 hours long. I walked down with my dad, Tracy memorized everything and she was great. We shared our vows. (when I read my vows I was a little nervous so I had to change some words). To this day it remains a blur, just so many emotions running through me that day. I had to make sure everything went smoothly. Afterwards, we signed our papers, got it witnessed by my brother and Michael's mom and then we took some photos. Tracy then had to leave and she baked some very hard cookies. Delicious but over baked.
Then our parents left and we waited for our flight to Tantalus mountain. We got to the parking lot of the airport and met up with Tatiana around 5pm. She messaged the company asking them if we can fly earlier (we were supposed to fly around 6:30pm) we ended up going up earlier. The flight was only about 15 mins up. We couldn't make it all the way up because it was too cloudy and no visibility so we took photos in the middle of the mountain. It was super hard to walk in my dress and I'm so glad a bought a dress skirt to walk "easier" in the snow. And snow got into my boots so I wish I wore socks but the temperature was fine. Barely any wind and warmer than the lake. We took photos, popped champagne and just posed for the camera. People ask me if I feel any different and to be honest, no because I and Michael have been together for 12 years. I'm just glad we made it official so we can spend our lives together as a happily married couple. Can't wait to see what the future holds for us both.
