I promise to maintain my sense of humour

So many urban Toronto love stories transform years later into joyous wedding celebrations. Some have an element of humour mixed into the vows in the wedding service.

The wedding ceremony for Evan and Morgan was a creative, sensitive blend of their roots.  But the heart of the service itself still was their love and their delightful shared sense of humour. Yes, Morgan certainly knew what to expect in Evan’s surprise wedding vow to her. Evan definitely has a quirky, dry sense of humour:

“Morgan, you are my love, my best friend, and my partner in life.

I promise to never take you for granted, to encourage you, and to love you for all the days of my life.

In particular, I promise to:

Help clean the house even if it is clearly not dirty,

Pretend that this is the last time we will let Walter sleep on the bed,

Scratch your back whenever it’s itchy,

Stay on my allocated 50% of the bed,

Drive you to work in the mornings when you really need it,

No longer drive like a mad man.

I love you and can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”

Morgan knew to expect a suprise from Evan in his vows.

The Fermenting Cellar in the Distillery District was an inspiring blank canvas with which they created an exceptionally beautiful wedding day. The dramatic lighting, beautiful colour scheme, stunning ambiance, and the beauty of Morgan in her chic gown, all created a lasting impression. The sophisticated photography of Catherine Farquharson and a carefully created and very personal wedding service was performed by me. These were some of the many distinct elements that blended artistically into Morgan and Evan’s memorable wedding day experience.

Machel Reeves was their talented wedding coordinator who, once again, performed her signature magic. In Toronto, her “Machel” trademark weddings have always been trendsetting, elegant, and innovative. They are copied by many. 

Evan and Morgan’s wedding is still being talked about. Their guests were chuckling as Evan spoke his humorous vows. The photographs say it clearly: it was a visually stunning and extraordinary event!
