Mrs. Knitting's Picture
Mrs. Knitting, Toronto Age and Occupation: 24, Student Recruitment Assistant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Neuroscience PhD Candidate Engagement Date: October 2009 Wedding Date: December 2010 Venue: University of Toronto Faculty Club About Me: I'm a pearl wearing, etiquette book reading Toronto girl who loves cooking and baking, museums, charm bracelets, and collecting books on Jackie Kennedy (a lot). I've been known to spend Sunday mornings at the antique market, Wednesday evenings at sister sushi dinners, and any bit of spare time reading. After six and a half years of many late night walks, watching DVDs together in bed, travelling to places like New York, and Tobermory, doing Sudokus together on the couch, lots of Indian food, the occasional yoga class, moving in together and so much more, Mr. Knitting and I are planning a cozy Christmasy (it's a word!), vintage wedding in Toronto complete with many DIY projects (eek!) and lots of help from our amazing group of family and friends.
About Mrs. Knitting

As we put the finishing touches on all of the wedding details, the guests began to arrive.

My flower girls added some last minute desserts to our beautiful table:

My beautiful grandmother hung out with my dad:

The guests began to sign our guest poster:

Then they mingled and enjoyed some apple cider:

A few guests were not familiar with the idea of displaying a dessert table as one would a wedding cake (What do you mean everyone doesn’t obsessively read wedding blogs?) and began eating from our dessert table. This resulted in the staff covering most of the table in foil. This makes the wedding blogger in me cringe, but I guess it’s better than all the dessert being gone before the ceremony! If you’re displaying a dessert table make sure either your guests know not to eat from it beforehand, or have someone (subtly!) guard the table to avoid this problem.

Eventually, it was time for the guests to move upstairs for the ceremony.

Mr. Knitting, his groomspeople, and my aunt (our pianist) got into position:

Oh, and this would be my parents who apparently didn’t connect the fact that if they’re about to walk me down the aisle, they probably shouldn’t be in their seats!

Haha oops! I sent my MOH to go get them and they scampered backstage to wait with us. Now we were ready to walk down the aisle.

Were having all our dessert set up beforehand too. Were roping it off with fancy “red carpet” ropes bc it will get attacked otherwise!

i love that your parents were waiting in their seats. that’s definitely too funny. and i love the cider too! we’re having a december wedding, so we’ll be serving guests hot chocolate and apple cider instead of a “cocktail hour” at our reception :)
