Alice & Jared’s Wedding: October 17, 2024

All good things in time, right? And at long last, it was the big day for Alice and Jared to make it official. This wasn’t just any wedding—it was a two-day extravaganza. First up, a cozy, heartfelt ceremony with close friends and family, and then, two days later, the grand finale: a full-throttle wedding bash.  We kicked things off in Scarborough with a civil ceremony, followed by some classic family photos in the park. Mother Nature clearly got the memo—it was a dream day. Picture it: golden fall leaves, a sky so blue it could’ve been painted, and sunshine that was just showing off. Oh, and Alice and Jared? They looked like they stepped straight out of a rom-com. Perfection.  Fast forward to Saturday, and the vibe shifted into full-on celebration mode. The venue? Paradise Banquet Hall—a name that delivered on its promise. Before the main event, I whisked Alice and Jared away for a stroll through the garden (because romantic photo ops, obviously) and then snapped some family pics with siblings and parents. Once that was done, it was time to head inside and let the festivities begin.  Here’s where it got interesting—this wasn’t your cookie-cutter wedding. Nope. Alice and Jared threw tradition a curveball with dueling pinball machines. Yes, you read that right. Pinball! Guests were munching on delicious appetizers, some adult beverages and snacks, and embracing the unapologetic “party-ness” of it all. The DJ was on fire (and trust me, I’ve seen my fair share), spinning tunes that kept everyone moving.  There were speeches, there was dancing, there was pinball (of course), and the whole thing went late into the night—one of those unseasonably gorgeous late-October nights that make you stop and soak it all in.  Alice and Jared, you nailed it. Congratulations, and here’s to all the incredible adventures ahead!
