Kevin and Emma came all the way from Montreal to say their I-Dos – which were probably the longest we’ve ever heard! Unlike more traditional ceremonies, Kevin and Emma were able to say everything they wanted to each other. Even though we couldn’t exactly keep up with their fast-paced exchange (in French!) the depth of their love was beautiful to witness. We were so honoured to be their witnesses, and so impressed with all the little details Emma included:
Rocky Racoon was the ring bearer, Kevin’s boutonierre was made of a selection of his favourite comic books; even their signing pen was a memento of past travels. Clifton hill turned out to be a microcosm of many of their favourite things too… bright colours and flashing disco lights, dinosaurs, and candy hearts! What an amazing day!

I saw the best lovers of my generation smitten by love, smiling excited married,
dancing themselves through the painted afternoon streets looking for a coffee fix,
happy-headed well-wishers glowing for the recent heavenly connection twix the starry-eyed duo in the ballet of affection,
who sprouts and leaves sparkling and sat up drinking in the supernatural dark roast
of hot-water cups floating across the tops of counters contemplating eternity,
who bared their souls to each other under the banner and saw chubby cupids hiding on flat top roofs illuminated,
who passed through threatre and brick and sun with radiant eyes beseiging Hamilton and stop-light miracle among the scholars of Brandy,
who were recessed from the annex for friends and blood singing a warmly ode on the air of a home,
who embraced in roofless rooms in veils, hiding their kissing in screens and listening to hearbeats at the wall,
who got congratulated for the public kisses returning through and through with a squarefold in pocket white,
who ate rosemary chops in Winona Vines or drank wine in Paradise, life, or middled their torsos at the end of the night,
with dreams, with speech, with hugging tears, alcohol, and roast and endless laughs,
incomparable open streets of endless cloud and lightning in the heart leaping towards
and illuminating motionless moments in blue streams of sparks with watery notions of humour in pirate hats between,
In icing consumption of playful squeeze of a goodbye mirage in forevers, embrace,
Amanda & Mike, Amanda and Mike.

Finding true love is an achievement. But that being said, it does not mean that you can simply rest once you find it. This is particularly true for Kathryn & Curtis, who travelled for over two days to get to the right place to make it official. After a long journey together from Moosonee, we joined them and their family for their special day at Inn on the Twenty. There was so much excitement for these two–just about everyone there had a camera in their hands; and Kathryn & Curtis couldn’t keep their hands off each other! We had such a great time as they giggled and kissed their way through the celebration. They even sealed it with two first kisses! :) When you have a love like theirs, it doesn’t matter how long the journey is. The longer the better.

Love never grows old
like vintage wine
It acquires a taste,
richness and smoothness
that dances on the stage
of a connoisseur’s
discerning tongue
to lift the joy of his heart.
