Wedding Ceremony & Reception

Our Wedding

Amelia and Blair met the old-fashioned way. No apps or swipes, just a chance encounter at a university party in September 2017. Soon after that first meeting, they ran into each other again at a classic Ottawa establishment, Lieutenant's Pump, when their friend groups went for a night out on the town. With some liquid courage and his undeniable charisma, Blair directly asked Amelia, “You wanna go on a date?”&nbsp; Not long after, they became inseparable. Within a few months, Amelia had unofficially moved into the infamous Haig Drive house, quietly claiming a drawer in the dresser. But she didn’t come empty handed and often brought takeout after every weekend shift, and before long, weekends with Blair (and his roommates Nico and Riley) became her favourite part of the week. Almost eight years later, not much has changed. They’ve been partners through multiple jobs, a few degrees, a pandemic, buying a condo together, and many other unpredictable life moments that they’re grateful they had each other for.&nbsp; Now, they invite you to join them on the shores of St. Margaret’s Bay for a seaside ceremony that feels true to who they are.

Accommodations

Less than a 10-minute drive from Oceanstone Resort, Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse (aka Peggy's Point Lighthouse) is one of Nova Scotia’s most well-known lighthouses and is considered to be the most photographed lighthouse in Canada. Located in the quaint fishing village of Peggy’s Cove along the South Shore, Peggy’s Point Lighthouse was built in 1915. On Blair's first trip to Nova Scotia, Amelia's family took him to Peggy's Cove and he was disappointed to see that there were many people there...I guess he thought it would look like the Microsoft Office screensaver from 2005. As it is a popular tourist destination, there WILL be people there! Please please please DO NOT go on the wet, dark rocks and do not swim. We cannot emphasize this enough. Rogue waves (unpredictable, rough waves) commonly splash up over the rocks, even on calm, sunny days. The safest way to enjoy the view is to make sure you are ALWAYS walking on dry, white rocks. We want everyone to stay safe while enjoying Amelia's beautiful home province!
