In the months leading up to Rob and Ursula’s wedding, we had experienced a very rainy, very cold, not-at-all-summery summer. As we planned Rob and Ursula’s big day at their newly-built log home on Gambier Island, which was to feature an outdoor ceremony as well as dinner al fresco, I made many attempts to convince them that we needed a rain plan. Each time I brought this up, Rob would recite what had become his mantra:
“It’s not going to rain on my wedding day.”
As luck would have it, he was right. August 6 was one of the hottest, sunniest days of the summer. Ursula and Rob’s guests came from all over the world to watch them tie the knot against the backdrop of an absolutely stunning panoramic view of Howe Sound. Here are a few highlights of their day, captured by the lovely folks at bOB HOmer photography:
A venue this stunning is not easy to come by… or to get to! This wedding presented many challenges from a logistical standpoint, and I have nothing but gratitude to express for everyone who helped make it such a success:
