Home Date Night Tip #1

Home Date Night Tip #1:

Make It a Theme Night! Choose a theme and center everything you do around it. For example, if you choose an Italian theme, you could eat spaghetti and gelato, then watch a movie like The Italian Job or Life is Beautiful. Some other fun theme ideas: Mexican, Asian, Christmas, Kid’s theme, 1950′s (or any decade), etcetera.

Welcome YH&M New Vancouver Wedding Officiant Jane Halton

I’ve been doing weddings since 2001 and as unique as they have each been, I’ve enjoyed them all. A few fun examples: a beach wedding in California to a fancy wedding at the Sutton Place Hotel to a casual outdoor wedding…in Calgary…in October! Once I remarried a couple after a seven-year divorce and have even rode in a canoe instead of walking down the aisle. I’ve been married since 2005 and we have two young boys to keep us busy.

I love helping couples design their ceremony so that it feels like them. I am a trained coach (janehalton.com) so I know how to ask the good questions to help couples uncover what they really want and why.

What I really want is YOU to have a wedding that is really YOU! I have lots of great ideas and suggestions but in the end I will help you design a ceremony that fits your unique personalities. I’ve been told I have a light and calming presence which is often appreciated by the somewhat nervous and excited couple. 

Testimonial

"Jane is an excellent wedding officiant. We were so happy with the service that she provided. She personalized our ceremony, made us feel at ease, and spoke from the heart. One of the things that I appreciated the most was how she helped us plan the details of the ceremony, and how she took charge at our rehearsal. Throughout all, she was professional yet warm and personable. She was incredibly open to aspects of our ceremony that were "non-traditional", such as my husband's nephews walking down the aisle, his sister escorting him, and my brother walking down the aisle and standing alongside my bridesmaids. She had a beautiful, organized plan for a series of hugs to take place as soon as all of the wedding party had finished walking down the aisle. She had a clear rationale for all of the suggestions that she made, but was also flexible when I had my own ideas. Overall, she inspired a lot of confidence in me, and I am glad she was a part of our ceremony."

Awesome Elopement with Officiant Shawn Miller.

Keep this in mind when planning your wedding.

Big Wedding Vs. Buying a Home

Wedding VS Buying a Home is a real decision that a lot of couples face. This is a guest post by one of our amazing couples. Amy and Matt. Check out what they had to say.

Two years ago I married my best friend and sweetest man I know and bought our first home together all in the same couple of weeks! We decided that purchasing a home was high up on our goal list as was getting married but, having a huge wedding would kill this dream of owning a home together right away.  Being a Mortgage Broker and my husband being a Realtor we knew that we could not afford both at the same time.        

So, we starting looking on how we could do both! Destination wedding was so affordable and allowed us to have our honeymoon built into one trip! So, we started planning this but found that with all the paper work required by the Mexican government it would be easier to have the ceremony here in Canada. Matt did some research on the internet and found Young Hip and Married.

We contacted them and Skyped with our Officiant and knew he was the one to do our little wedding here in Canada right on White Rock beach where we met.  He was so laid back and understood the importance that faith would play a part in our ceremony. So, we had a few special people meet us on the beach for a beautiful and sweet ceremony one year after the day we met! We exchanged vows all around the same time of getting the keys to our new home!

Was such an exciting time and so thank-full to Young Hip and married to be able to make all our dreams come true affordably and smoothly!

Then 6months later we flew to Mexico with our friends and family and I walked down the aisle on the beach to my amazing husband for a beautiful perfect wedding! Dreams do come true.
