WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS
Kerri and Jimmy loved the unique charm of The Briars. With the
beautiful grounds, delicious wedding menu options and all-
inclusive packages, the choice of the venue was an "easy one",
especially since they had enjoyed her sister's wedding there.
The duo planned their wedding with help from family and
everyone was excited to see how the day unfolded. The Fall
wedding day brought showers, but luckily the clouds parted just
long enough for great wedding photographs, including timeless
photos on the dock extending into Lake Simcoe.
Although the ceremony had been planned for the front lawn of
the Manor House, where Kerri's sister's wedding had taken place
months before, inclement weather necessitated a move inside to
the Admiralty Room. Kerri walked down an aisle lined with lit
lanterns to the gentle strains of Anne's Theme by H. Hardy from
Anne of Green Gables, played by a violin and cello duo. The bride
and her attendants carried white roses and calla lily bouquets.
The Summer House reception featured a candy table with a
selection that included yogurt pretzels, caramel corn and
coconut mallows; bags encouraged guests to take goodies home.
Rave reviews from guests were earned by a dinner menu that
ended with a baked apple and almond tart with oatmeal crisp
and Tahitian vanilla ice cream and strawberries.
Kerri smiles, "we will always look back fondly on our
charming wedding celebrations, a day of celebration and lifetime
commitment to each other".
