Sarah and Christian.

When Christian Met Sarah...

Sarah and Christian met while sharing a ride through a snow storm on Christmas Eve, 2000. Their mutual friend, Karla Faulconbridge (Sarah's maid of honour!), had rented a car to go home for the holidays. She invited Christian and Sarah to share the ride with her to Ottawa, passing through Perth along the way.

The storm of Christmas Eve, 2000.

That Christmas Eve, a major snow storm hit Eastern Ontario and the normally 4.5 hour drive, turned into a 7 hour ordeal under treacherous driving conditions. The long drive, however, afforded Christian the opportunity to get to know Karla's best friend, Sarah.

Sarah patiently put up with Christian's desperate attempts to impress her with his knowledge of genealogy and beer, while trying her best to finish her Harry Potter book.

Three weeks later, they had their first date.

Almost exactly four years to the day of their meeting, Christian proposed to Sarah and became the happiest man alive when she said yes.

Update on life and pics from the honeymoon!



Hello everyone!
It's been a while since we last posted. We were enjoying our newlyweds time together!
We wanted to share a couple of our fabulous honeymoon photos that we took while we were over in Greece. Since it's now the middle of winter and the snow has finally arrived here - we thought it would be a great time to reminisce about our meditteraen times - complete with sun, great
Greek food, swimming and fun.

Enjoy the pics!

- Sarah & Christian

Wedding Photos!!


Hi everyone!

We just recieved some proofs of our wedding photos online. It was fabulous to see them! I think they look nice despite the fact that it was pouring rain during most of them.
:)

If you're curious you can check them out online at http://www.vanessajones.smugmug.com/gallery/1653429

We're working on getting some of our honeymoon pictures up soon. We've been so busy since we got back that we haven't had a chance yet to get them developed. Sarah is taking them in today so we should have some to post in a few days.



We're busy working on all our thank you cards! Please don't think we've forgotten about you! We're so thankfull to everyone and will send our cards out this week! We hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

In memoriam - Lilyan Gertrude Fenn

Lilyan Fenn - 1910 - 2006
Sadly on Monday, July 10, 2006 at Soldiers' Memorial Hospital, Orillia in her 96th year, Lilyan Fenn passed away.

Lilyan was Sarah's great aunt and attended our wedding in June. Despite the nasty rain and cold, Lilyan was full of grace and charm the entire evening. At 95 years old, Lilyan was our oldest guest - although you would never guess it because of her boundless energy and enthusiasm.

Lilyan was the beloved wife of the late James A. Fenn, mother of Katherine and husband Ron Huffman of Orillia. She was also the dear grandmother of Ronalee and John Clark, Nancy and John Evans, and Sarah and Sandy Fryfogel; great grandmother of Brett and Brandon Clark, Adam and Sheila Evans, and James, Helen and Sebastian Fryfogel.

Lilyan was laid to rest on Friday, July 14th beside her husband in St. James Cemetery, Orillia.

She will be greatly missed.

Requiescat in pacem.

We're Back!

Hi Everyone!

We're finally home after our wonderful honeymoon. We arrived back in Ottawa on Saturday night after travelling for almost 24 hours straight, and the next day we drove back to Toronto. We were a bit jet lagged but it was nice to be home and see our cat, Annie.

Our time in Rhodes after Athens was much more peaceful. We spent the last part of our honeymoon lying on sun drenched beaches and wandering through medieval towns. It was the perfect end to our Greek adventure.

Thank you to everyone again, for coming to our wedding. We promise to be in touch soon and post pictures from both the wedding and honeymoon!

Cheers,
Christian and Sarah
