34 real weddings
/
from his wife-to-be – the accompanying note, he says,
"calmed my nerves, and after that I was really ready to
marry this beautiful girl."
Žat afternoon, guests gathered on the lawn of
Burnaby's picturesque Hart House restaurant to
witness the couple's vows – and see their beloved
Boston Terrier, Lloyd, serve as ring bearer. As
Chelsea took to the aisle on her dad's arm, Isaac
couldn't hold back his tears.
"My "rst thought was, 'Wow,' because she looked
absolutely stunning," he says. "My second thought was,
'Don't lock your knees out,' as I didn't want to faint!"
After a sweet ceremony was performed by a lei-
adorned o©ciant – in honour of Chelsea's Hawaiian
heritage – the newlyweds kicked o' their elegant
tented reception with a joyful dip and kiss on their
way back up the aisle.
"Že sta' at Hart House did a great job setting
things up," says Chelsea, pointing to special touches
like rented crystal chandeliers, matching "Mr." and
"Mrs." chair backers, custom-made drink tickets, a
slow-mo video booth stocked with props and cake
toppers depicting Chelsea and Isaac (and Lloyd, of
course) that made the event uniquely their own.
"Žere were so many details that made the
wedding amazing. Chelsea spent a whole year
planning, and it was awesome seeing it all come
together," agrees Isaac. "It was the best day of my
life and I wouldn't change a thing about it."

Chelsea and Isaac came across the Hart House
Restaurant online and it proved to be their ideal venue,
with a wide-open lawn for their sunlit outdoor ceremony
and an expansive tent for their evening reception.
