ON BENDED KNEE – Jason asked Michelle to marry him one evening a few years ago. “We had a nice long engagement,” says Michelle. “We were engaged for about two years and then decided it was time to get married.”
KISS THE BRIDE – The ceremony was held at St. Augustine Church, and a reception followed at the Riverview Curling Club. Approximately 180 guests celebrated the day with Michelle and Jason. Dinner included turkey and mashed potatoes, and the wedding cake was two-tiered with vanilla frosting and chocolate filling.
THEIR TIME AWAY – Shortly after their wedding, the couple left on a work-related trip to London, England. After their work was done, they stayed in London a little longer to enjoy some time together.

WORDS OF WISDOM – “Marriage takes work for everyone,” says Michelle. “You just need to keep in mind that you married this person for a reason. After reminding yourselves of the reasons you got married, you can work through all the hurdles.” As for wedding planning, Michelle encourages planning in a shorter amount of time. “We planned our wedding in only three months. We avoided dragging the planning out for a year like many of my friends had done, and we still had the most perfect day,” she said.
