This is the beautiful couple that Kyle and I and many friends and family from all over celebrated this past labor-day weekend at the Sherwood Golf and Country Club in Chester, Nova Scotia. The weekend was filled with love, golf, amazing weather and a lot of reminiscing about good ole time back in Antigonish. Their names are Kim and James but they affectionately call each other Kimbo and Jimbo and just couldn't be any cuter!
Kim and James started dating in third year while Kim, myself and 3 other lovely ladies were living together. They've been in sweet sweet love from day one and this weekend was so reflective of their love and their personalities it was incredible! Their wedding parties, close family and significant others all showed up on Friday night for the rehersal and dinner and were set to stay in adorable cottages for the weekend. The rehersal dinner was BBQ style and was so relaxed and fun!
This hot mama and current Vancouver resident was the other woman in the dreamteam I mentioned earlier. We were both a tad nervous about MCing of the festivities for the evening but everything went very smoothly and we think everyone had a blast!
At the cocktail hour we got the chance to snag a photo of all the X-ladies we graduated with. Most of us ladies lived in Chillis (a University residence) together in first and second year and ALL of these ladies lived in three houses that were about 30 seconds apart from each other.
It was so fantastic to get together with everyone from St.F.X. and it really got me thinking that we all really need to make more of an effort to keep in touch and visit one another. It seems to be so easy to get caught up with what's happening with you that all of a sudden so much time has past and you've lost touch with so many old friends.
The great thing about having been so close to all these people and loving them so much is that it really takes about 30 seconds before it's as if no time has passed and we all pick up right where we left off!
These two beauties are Heather and Beaton and are the other two ladies who lived with Kimbo, Erica and I! Heather and I also lived in the 9 x 9 dorm rooms together for two years!
Caught the bouquet!
What was even greater about this weekend was that it was the first time my X girls really got to spend a solid amount of time with Kyle and it couldn't have went better! He got a HUGE thumbs up and he and all the boyfriends got along super well. The fact that the weekend was on a golf course that gave them all free access to the course was a huge help in having all the guys bond throughout the weekend I'd say.
All in all it was a perfect weekend and I couldn't be happier for The "Imbo's" and the amazing adventure they have ahead of them! In January they are moving to the Cayman Island's for the next two years to work and save and live in a tropical paradise!
Now the weekend before the wedding many of the girls headed to Montreal for Kim's Bachelorette so I'll finish up with a few shots from that weekend!
