Real Wonderful Weddings: Jenna & Charles

Jenna and Charles really wanted their wedding to represent who they are. They went for a modern, rustic theme as they felt it captured them best as a couple. They wanted to have a fall wedding with fall colours, and chose navy as the main colour with some gold accents in the décor. Jenna and Charles had discussed the idea of getting engaged, so they knew they were ready. They felt their story was best told from Charles’ perspective.

“I had bought the ring in January of 2019 and thought of several ways to propose when I came to the realization that it had to be done near my hometown of Morris, Manitoba. I told Jenna that we were going skating at my family farm with relatives.

The day before, along with my father and my grandfather, I prepped the ice to skate on and set up a bench with a basket of important things from our relationship. That afternoon, I asked a close friend of ours to hide out in the trees and capture our special moment. I wanted pictures of this special moment for us to cherish.

I got down on one knee and asked if I could tie her skates. I told her that this exact spot is special to me– it’s where I learned to fish and spent countless hours as a child. I have these exact coordinates tattooed on my arm, and I told Jenna I wanted to share all of my special moments and places with her for the rest

of my life.

I asked her to marry me and she said yes! We shared some wine on the river before telling our family and friends. It was perfect.”

“One of the best moments was the first look, hands down.”
