The Search is Over

Jan and I spent the weekend searching for our wedding venue. At first we thought Whistler would be perfect but after checking out the sites we both weren't impressed. Marita gave me some great places to check out which led to the weekend long search for the right place. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted I only new it had to be somewhere beautiful. We first checked out the Van Dusen Botanical Garden. (See below)





A true utopia! However, it didn't really seem like "us." While we were there Jan revealed that he needed to be near water which led me to cross off a few other venues.

We went to Stanley Park and were impressed with the Vancouver Rowing Club. It was very scenic and fun and was a good choice. However, we were troubled with the logistics of parking and where to have the wedding ceremony. The next day we drove to Furry Creek in Squamish. It's a golf course that has won many accolades for its amazing views. We both felt more at home with the mountains, lush forest and view of the ocean. I think I actually got goosebumps on the golf cart shuttle to the wedding ceremony site. We both knew it was where we wanted it all to begin! Unfortunately, my camera was being finicky and wasn't working at the time so no sneak pics....sorry!
