Wedding pictures

Wedding rehearsal Thanks to everyone for helping set up!


THE BIG DAY - James & Jason getting ready


Jason - my handsome Baby getting ready Groom & Bestman


Me getting ready to go out. Before I walked down to meet my groom, I asked my family to say one last prayer for me. I felt quite emotional, but was trying my best to hold it back so that my face wasn't all red.


My nephew, Josiah getting people to sign the guest sheet


Matthias & Hanna... so cute!


Then I invited Mom & Dad de Leeuw to also pray together with me that all would go well


Josiah escorting Grandpa deLeeuw to his seat. I love this picture!


Rebecca DeMan escorting Jason's parents to their seats


James & Mandy - My Bestman & Maid of Honor


This was so absolutely cute & funny! Hanna & Jenica were supposed to walk up just before me spreading purple rose petals on the path and they poured them all at the very beginning. Everyone was laughing. They were all over the grass.. that's what adds character!


The wedding ceremony


Jason reading his personal vows to me


You may kiss the bride


Going up the path to sign the official papers Another hilarious happening.. we went to go sign the marriage license and it wasn't there. They forgot to bring it up so we were really shocked it wasn't up there.


Finally it's legal!




I was so excited I asked Jason to run back to the house...we are MARRIED!!


We went to the front of the house while Pastor dismissed everyone

A close up


Pastor giving us very special words


Just kissing...




On our way to take pictures... everyone looked soo good!

Honeymoon Pictures - Victoria, BC

We went on walk around the downtown Victoria on a "Ghost Walk Tour", here is our guide.. he looks creepy!!
The Empress Hotel.. VERY HAUNTED
Another very haunted place.. the Parliment buildingsThe happening spot, by the water. There was a very laid back culture here.. many artists & musicians.

The bird is stuck!!
A beautiful walk just going outside of downtown, where you can see the water planes take off & land

Victoria sunset

We were looking for ghosts as it got darker.. but there was none... this is the Empress Hotel at night

We went to an underground water show.. it was pretty kewl, the guy went down there with all of his equipment on and was showing us and explaining the differant water creatures.

Jason was touching the starfish.. grossness!!
