couple even created an ornate, old-school
wedding logo of a crowned heart and keyhole,
using one of Drew's tattoos as inspiration.

dream trip (with elephants and no camping or
backpacking!) that's been long planned and
already booked, of course, by Drew.

bride's grandmothers' amethyst vintage earrings.
Guests enjoyed themselves at Vancouver's
Brix & Mortar during the reception. The couple
planned their wedding themselves.
