Jeff & Robyn’s Manitoba Wedding

Jeff & Robyn (Shlachetka) Blatz
Married August 2, 2008 in Wabowden

Boy Meets Girl – Robyn and Jeff met in 2004 in Steinbach.  “I was junior flight school,” says Robyn who is a pilot with Perimeter Aviation.  “Jeff is a carpenter.  I was attracted to farm boys and I guess he had a thing for woman pilots.”

On Bended Knee – Jeff popped the question on Robyn’s birthday ( May 5 , 2007).  He came to her house, went down and one knee and proffered THE QUESTION and the ring.

Kiss The Bride – Robyn and Jeff were married outside her parents’ place by the lake.  She wore a six-layer, poofy wedding dress and he and his groomsmen wore black tuxedos.   “Everything went smoothly for us,” Robyn says.  “That was out of character.  After the ceremony, we went out in a canoe for the pictures.”

Fabulous Details - The dinner was held at the arena in Wabowden with catering provided by a local caterer.  Instead of a wedding cake, the couple had a huge dessert table highlighted by a chocolate fountain.  After dinner, everyone took a dip in the lake.

Their Time Away – “That was the best part,” says Robyn of their honeymoon.  “We jumped into our ‘92 Mustang LX and drove out west camping along the way.  We went as far as Kelowna.  We stopped for horse back riding in Jasper and dropped into the West Edmonton Mall.  We had no idea where we would end up each day.”  The last stop on their honeymoon trip was a Motley Crue concert in Winnipeg.
