Travis & Kara’s Wedding

Travis & Kara (Wiebe) Cooke
Married August 12, 2006
Carmen, Manitoba

Boy Meets Girl – Kara, an art teacher, and Travis, a budding architect, met in the fall of 2001 while both were attending university and started dating early in 2002. “We studied in the same building,” Kara says. “We found we shared an interest in design and had similar values. We had also both traveled in southeast Asia.”

On Bended Knee – Travis proposed at the Palm Room in the Fort Garry Hotel with the live ensemble playing romantic music in the background.

Kiss The Bride – The couple were married in Kara’s parents’ yard near Carman. A pastor from a local Mennonite Church performed the service. About 160 guests were on hand.

Fabulous Details – Kara’s and Travis’ wedding dinner consisted of stuffed chicken, roast potatoes, vegetables and a trifle for dessert. Guests were also served rollkuchen – a traditional Mennonite deep fried dough – and Icelandic prune cake, reflecting the bride’s and groom’s different ethnic backgrounds

Their Time Away – For their honeymoon, Kara and Travis spent two weeks in Brazil. “We had never been to Brazil before,” Kara says. “We followed the coast from Sao Paulo to Rio to Salvador and then went inland to Brasilia where we spent time looking at buildings. Brasilia is a mecca for modern architects.”
