I am still in the scouting phase of ideas and good finds. Without having a venue decided on, it leaves a bit of a blank slate on what this wedding with look like. Without a budget, we can't decide on venue. Without a venue, I can't guarantee that they will have the 12 ft tall ceilings required my crafted/ upcycled exhaust-pipe memory wall (Kidding, but you get the idea).
Here's what we know: we want an alternative cool space. Fras and I aren't religious, so what other spaces act as pillars of a community? Immediately, I would love to get married in an art gallery. I just have a personal belief that all huge life events should take have spectacular art works bear witness. Lucky for me, Fras might have been listening if I have said it before, and proposed in the European gallery of the AGO. My engagement was witnessed by Rodin and Matisse - you know, no big deal.
The AGO is a very expensive possibility, so we need to find alternatives. There is an old de-sancified church in Waterloo that we love (and mum might be satisfied that technically is is a church). An old train station perhaps? I think the common theme here is old. Old and pillars in the community.
However, this weekend I think I found our contingency plan. I saw the movie The Vow and immediately recognized my gallery in the wedding scene. This might be how Fraser and I end up doing it, but minus all of mushy parts because I'm sure our vows will go like this:
Me: "So you still want to do this?"
Fras: "Sure, why not?"
Me: "Good 'nuff, me too"
With that said, if you plan on attending our wedding, I suggest running shoes and practicing evasive maneuvers. Parkour to you, sir!
