How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. ⁠ ⁠ How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. ⁠ ⁠ I love thee to the depth and breadth and height ⁠ My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight ⁠ For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. ⁠ ⁠ I love thee to the level of every day's ⁠ Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. ⁠ ⁠ I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; ⁠ I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. ⁠ ⁠ I love with a passion put to use ⁠ In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. ⁠ ⁠ I love thee with a love I seemed to lose ⁠ With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath, ⁠ Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, ⁠ I shall but love thee better after death.⁠ ⁠ - Elizabeth Barrett Browning⁠ ⁠ ⁠ (Photo from Sydney & Josh⁠'s lake wedding)⁠ ⁠ Photographer - Sierra Savannah⁠ @sierrasavanahf⁠ ⁠ Wedding Management - Amanda Douglas Events⁠ @amandadouglasevents⁠ ⁠ Hair & Makeup - Bailey Van Der Veen⁠ @baileyvanderveen⁠ ⁠ Ceremony & Reception Location - Family Property near Lundar MB⁠ ⁠ Commissioner - Elaine Zacharias - Family Friend⁠ ⁠ Linens - Planned Perfectly ⁠ @plannedperfectly⁠ ⁠ Dinnerware Rentals - Union Table⁠ @union_table⁠ ⁠ Chairs, Tables & Dancefloor - D’Lite Tent & Event ⁠ ⁠ Tent & Power - D’Lite Tent & Event ⁠ ⁠ Refrigeration/Freezer Rental - Big Chill Mobile Cooler⁠ @bigchillmobilecooler⁠ ⁠ Outdoor Restrooms - Potty On Luxury Washroom Rentals⁠ @pottyonrentals ⁠ ⁠ Florals - Floral Fixx⁠ @thefloralfixx⁠ ⁠ DJ - DJ James⁠ ⁠ Catering & Bartending - Good Buds Catering ⁠ @goodbudscatering⁠ ⁠ Cake - Made By Megs⁠ @madebymegss⁠ ⁠ Sweets - Grandma⁠ ⁠ Late Night Snack - Cousin ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @sydney.dawn.petersen⁠ @joshoconnor9⁠
Want a wedding with breathtaking views and a relax Want a wedding with breathtaking views and a relaxed, natural vibe? A lake wedding has it all! 🌲✨⁠ ⁠ 🏞 Pro Tip:⁠ ✔️ Scout the location early and think about logistics! Is there enough parking? Restrooms? What is the terrain like for elderly guests? A little planning goes a long way.⁠ ⁠ ✔️ Use the lake’s natural beauty—minimal décor lets your surroundings shine. 🌿⁠ ⁠ ✔️ Wind-proof everything! From your hairdo to the candles, keep the breeze in mind. 💨⁠ ⁠ At Amanda Douglas Events, we’re pros at making outdoor weddings feel effortless and elegant. ⁠ ⁠ Let’s talk about your vision!

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.” – Unknown⁠ ⁠ ⁠ If it wasn’t already exceptionally clear, we love dogs. We love all animals, but dogs are definitely the highest on the pecking order.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ If you can, have your pets involved in your wedding,⁠ - I always say do it.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ I don’t know about you, but my two little noodles are part of the family. They’re not an extension; they are literally part of the family. If I can, I take them everywhere I go.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ If you don’t love (or at least like) them, something's up.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ What about you? Do you always do a vibe check when your dog doesn’t like someone?⁠ ⁠ P.S. I’ve got lots of tips on how to incorporate your animals at your wedding, so if you’re still looking for the right Planning Team to help you bring it all together, let’s have a chat!
