Keith & Lani’s Winnipeg Wedding

Keith & Lani (Jones) Ivany
Married November 1, 2008
Breezy Bend Country Club
Winnipeg, Manitoba

Boy Meets Girl - Keith and Lani met in 2006 in Brandon where Lani (who’s now a human resource worker) was working as a bartender to pay her way through university. Keith is in the Canadian military and is based at camp Shilo. “When he came into my bar, I thought that he was the best looking guy I had ever seen,” Lani says. “We got to know each other and started dating a few weeks later.”

On Bended Knee – Keith proposed to Lani on May 10, 2007, at their home in Shilo. “He had it planned. I was home sick that day. He set the alarm on our new cell phone and when I picked up the phone, he asked me to marry him. It was a nice surprise.”

Kiss The Bride – Keith and Lani chose Breezy Bend for the ceremony because they had known other couples who married there and because Lani’s parents live nearby. The bride was piped down the aisle by a string quartet. The couple had 80 guests. “Having our families and close friends at our wedding made it awesome,” Lani says. “I loved it.”

Fabulous Details – Keith and Lani’s wedding dinner at the golf club consisted of roasted red pepper bisque soup, roast chicken, spring salad and chocolate ganache. “We didn’t have a wedding cake,” Lani says. “Neither of us likes cake.”

Their Time Away – Since Keith had recently returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan, he was tired of traveling. The newlyweds drove out to a resort for a week to enjoy the spa treatment and relax. “It was perfect,” Lani says.
