Our wedding ceremony was at Minoru Chapel in Richmond. The minor problem we had that day was the fact that some of us were in kind of a rush to get to Richmond from Burnaby after the tea ceremony with the groom's family and relatives. We had 40 mins. to accomplish this task; however, only some of us made it on time because others took the Willingdon route and Willingdon was under construction part way. Knowing this, P. and I tried to stall time and actually waited in the car for them for an extra 10 mins but only some made it during this time.
I'm sure it was disappointing for some since they missed the first 5 minutes or so when the entire ceremony was less than 20. Unfortunately for us, one of our groomsmen S. who was also our videoman was also late and missed recording my dad and me walking down the aisle. Nonetheless, he was very apologetic and it really wasn't a big deal for us because I know we'll probably watch it a few times and then hardly ever touch it again. Plus, we've got nearly second to second shots. Otherwise, everything was perfect--even the weather was nice & cool for pictures!
I must admit that the entire ceremony was very fast and I could barely remember what I said for the vows but it was very calm and pleasant. The most embarrassing part was P's knuckles grew when he was nervous and I had a difficult time pushing the wedding band through! But I was successful at the end.
For $15 we were able to purchase some bubble blowing devices for our guests to use as we walked out of the chapel at the end. Some may feel this is a bit pricey for a one time 10 seconds use but we thought it really added to the happy atmosphere and was well worth the price. Our younger relatives had extra fun with them...
After all the relatives and friends had taken their photos with us and gone for lunch, our photographer was very hardworking and keen to suggest that we take a few newly wed shots in the inviting vine area nearby. My 10 seconds of beauty shots in the vine/bush below turned into a swollen sacrifice because I was bitten 3 times on my left arm and back and all 3 bites swelled in redness all night during our banquet. I felt as if I was poisoned because my left arm was numb all day.

Somehow when you were swearing you don't seem to look at the priest (or u know, that guy). Is that done on purpose?
you mean when we were saying the vows? we should be looking at each other, not the priest...actually we might've even just looked at the photographer the whole time!
