Wedding details

FROM THE BRIDE:

"Craig and I got engaged on Christmas Day in 2015—just weeks after I'd moved from South Africa to join him in a small town in Canada. We spent that Christmas in Banff, and honestly, the engagement felt like the easiest "yes" of my life, even though everything else about that season felt uncertain and new. We had just uprooted our entire lives. New country. New town. New everything. So when it came to planning a wedding, we made the practical choice: a small, intimate ceremony. We told ourselves we'd have the "big celebration" later—maybe in a year or two, once we'd settled in. But life happened. One year became five. Five became eight. And somewhere along the way, I quietly let go of the idea that we'd ever have the wedding I'd dreamed of. It felt like the moment had passed, like we'd missed our window. And then one day we just looked at each other and said, What if we still do the big wedding?
It snowballed into a 3-day destination wedding in Tuscany, Italy, with 30 of our favourite people.

We didn't want a single-day event—we wanted an experience. Three days gave us space to actually connect with our guests, have meaningful conversations, and savor every moment without the rushed timeline of a traditional wedding.
Each day had its own vibe: welcome dinner, ceremony day, and a final day pool party and barbecue —we didn't want to leave.'
