Stefan and Ti-An

Over ten years in the making, we finally tied the knot in a gorgeous outdoor ceremony at the Kortright Centre in Vaughan, Ontario, surrounded by our friends and family in the forest on June 25, 2016. We met in high school when we were fourteen years old, and our friendship evolved to something more when we were nineteen. The past ten years have flown by, filled with fun, laughter, adventure, tears, and tons of love. The highlight of our relationship was the year we spent living on the beautiful Gold Coast in Australia.

To represent our love of visiting new places and all of the adventures we have been on together, we embraced the travel theme for our wedding day, and honored our destinations through lots of little DIY touches. As an artist, I had a blast being a hands-on bride, making the favors with photos I took on our travels together, designing passport invitations, train ticket place cards, and vintage travel poster easels from the different places we have been to. 

The reception also took place outside in the forest, with the guest tables in a fairylight-lit glass house, and the dancefloor outside under the sea of stars on that warm summer night. We danced the night away, played life-size jenga, and roasted marshmallows for s'mores by a cozy fire. It was beyond magical!

The groom's stylish suit was a handmade original, created by my grandfather, and my dress (my dream dress!) is a stunning Lazaro creation, style 3059. I knew back in 2010 that this was my dress, and I have never felt more beautiful!
