My dearest best friend, Mare is no longer a Miss, but has become a Mrs. She's officially adopted the last name McGoran as she married a good man on Saturday.I flew to Kelowna on Friday the 15th to spend a week with Mare and Jeremy and hopefully help calm some of the stress and take care of some of the tasks that needed taking care of leading up to their wedding. While I was there, Mare's brother Sean and his wife Karin came to stay with them too and brought their little baby girl, Quinn (Quinn, you're a two-blog girl now!!). They were so much fun to spend time with and I felt like I already knew them just by what Mare had told me.
It was a busy week and I'm afraid I didn't do much to keep Mare's stress level low, I just hope I didn't add to it. We had a fantastic time at the Bridal Shower, and the Stagette was a riot.
When the wedding arrived, we had a great morning getting ready as Leanne did all our hair. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful at Linden Gardens and I was so happy to have Kleenex tucked into the strap of my dress to dab at my eyes as they recited their vows.
The reception at Pine Hills was a great time and the hall looked fantastic (as it should after we all spent Friday afternoon decorating!)
I feel like there's more to say, but I still can't process it all. So I'll post some pictures instead.

Spa day in Summerland to help ease away some of the stress leading up to the day~
The BBQ on Friday night before the wedding. Mare was all dolled up in her fabulous pink dress, and Quinn was completely adorable in her stripy red and white sundress!~

Brad drove up on Thursday to come and help out in anyway he could (and was a HUGE help decorating on Friday). This is us at Pine Hills where the reception was held~
Mr. and Mrs McGoran deeply in love for their first dance~
The bridesmaids rocked it out~
I'm so honoured to have been a part of the wedding, and I can't describe how touched I am still to have been her Maid of Honour.
