Shawn and Renee ~ 11/22/2012

Shawn and Renée’s anniversary was on April 09, 2011, Shawn had planned to take Renée out and he had the evening all planned as a surprise. At 6pm Shawn pulled up in a limo and met Renée at the door with 11 red roses. While Renée laughed excitedly saying, “Oh my God Shawn, you didn’t have to get a limo to pick me up! I thought you were picking me up in your car, your car would have been just fine.” Shawn laughed under his breath nervously. Renée and Shawn got into the limo and started on their drive. Shawn poured wine for the two of them and took a swig. He then got down on one knee and presented Renée with a single rose with ribbon binding a ring to it. Renée was shocked and surprised, she grabbed Shawn and hugged him as a few tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. And of course she said “YES!!!” Shawn then fumbled with the ribbon to try and get it off and put the ring on Renée`s finger. The evening continued with a ride around Regina and a romantic dinner for two at Lakeshore Steak House, ending with a romantic sunset drive around Wascana Lake.

Incredible Engagement Stories - Nicole & Weir

She got something a little better than Pajamas…

Nicole & Weir ~ 7/28/12

Nicole’s fiancé proposed to her on Christmas Eve 2010. She had known from the very beginning that Weir was the one that she wanted to grow, learn and explore life with. While celebrating the holiday season with his family he had informed her that everyone opens a Christmas gift on Christmas Eve and that the presents are usually pajamas. Nicole had joined the entire family in the living room and go figure she had to open the first gift as Weir was already sitting down with a wrapped box in his hands. She remembers saying to him that she didn’t want to go first because everyone was starring and it was super awkward (he told her to suck it up.) Nicole began to open the box, and noticed it was a Wii console but the box was empty, so she thought that he was surprising her with the Wii and had set it up at home. As she was smiling and chatting about it being such a great surprise he was getting down on one knee saying “You are the bacon to my eggs, the peanut butter to my jelly and the baseball to my glove, I can’t wait to spend to rest of our lives together and for you to be the mother to my children, the happiness to my day and the adventure to our lives…will you do me the honour of becoming my wife, will you marry me?” It was breath taking, and not only was she surprised but his family as well as no one knew he was going to propose!

It’s that time of the year again! On September 19, 2010, Bridal Conference: Fall’s Boutique Bridal Show will take place at the Edmonton Expo Centre. This is a must- attend event for engaged couples, their friends, and their families.

Couples will have the opportunity to win over $90 000 in prizes and gifts, and meet with wedding industry experts to get the resources and knowledge they need to plan their big day. Plus, ladies looking for the perfect dress will be inspired by the latest styles showcased during two professionally choreographed fashion shows.

To top it all off, tickets include free bonuses, and the chance to win great prizes like a brand new, XC60 Volvo, which will be given away to a lucky bride during the show, or a trip to Paris. There are many other prizes to be won as well. Every bride receives a free wedding planner at the door, and the chance to enter to win a fantasy honeymoon and over $90,000 in prizes and gifts!

At the Bridal Conference, brides will also be able to get their hands on some of the most fashionable wedding dresses at a discounted price during the bridal gown sale.

So get your tickets soon as they are only $20.00 (includes GST) which also includes a FREE Wedding Planner that is valued at $14.95 at the door. Come and meet with some of today’s most knowledgeable, up-to-date and unique wedding experts.

We’ve been doing this for years, so here are a few tips to prepare for the big event:
1. Bring a large bag to store all the information you will be collecting.
2. Print off a sheet of labels with your contact information for all the wonderful prize draws you will be entering - name, complete mailing address, phone, email & wedding date.
3. Make sure to wear comfy shoes.
4. Bring your ID along in case you win a prize.
5. Bring a notebook and a pen (or your trusty mobile) to mark down vendors or ideas you really like.
6. Bring your cheque-book in case you want to book something at the show and need to put a deposit down. Some of the best deals around are through vendors at the show!
7. Get seats for the fashion show early – seats fill up fast.
8. Sign up for all the giveaways and draws you can. Just because you already have a limo booked doesn’t mean you can’t use what they have chosen to give as a door prize!
9. Bring swatches of material of your wedding colours. This will help a lot of vendors make appropriate suggestions as to what they can do for you.
10. Don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions - our guests of wedding professionals are there to help you!
