Bhreagh + Ian | Our Love Story
Tell us how you first met? B:We first met at the Doryman Pub in Cheticamp. Ian was the fiddler at the Doryman that afternoon. I had never heard him play before and fell in love with his music immediately. I: I first saw her at the Doryman when I was playing. I kept asking my guitar player “Who is that redhead?”. B: I thought I kept catching him looking at me but wasn’t sure if it was me or someone else. After the music, I bought his cd. He was so shy. I: I was scared to death to talk to her but glad I did.
Two weeks after Celtic Colours, Ian was returning to Calgary and I had to go to a conference. He took me to a celtic concert out there and we’ve been talking every day since.
When did you know he/she was the one? B: I’m a science-y person and didn’t necessarily believe in ‘love at first sight’ but was surprised to find that ‘love at first listen’ does exist. I came home from the Doryman and told my Mom, “I’m telling you right now, I’m going to marry him” I: I just knew.
Tell us about the proposal. B:I had a suspicion that it might be coming, but had no idea when. I like to be in control of things and kept hinting at possible ideas, horseback riding, sunset, picnic, beach, etc. I knew I had made the right choice in choosing my future husband when he picked a place that exceeded all of my expectations. He knows how much I look up to my grandparent’s marriage and how important to me they are. I have told him that, Harriett and Robert (my grandparents) are the most amazing example of true love. He proposed to me on Christmas Eve in their driveway after an awesome evening with them. Perfection.
Tell us the one thing you love most about each other. B: Truthfully, everything. But, most I would have to say, how honest and simple he makes my life. I: see above.
Share with us something silly or quirky the other person does. B: Ian writes ‘IMD’ on about everything he owns
Besides getting married, what’s the one thing you are looking forward to on your wedding day? Wearing my dress, my flower crown, and seeing my handsome guy in a kilt. I: Having everyone who is close to us there to celebrate with us, and seeing her walking down the aisle in her dress.
What’s your favorite trend for weddings right now? B: Country, rustic, simple, meaningful
What inspired your décor or theme? B: Our favorite things: Scottish heritage, country-living, Cape Breton
Are there any special details for your wedding day that are sentimental and if so why? B: I tried to make every detail special and meaningful to us. Some of my favorites are, my MacDougall tartan belt, walking down the aisle to Ian’s music, our claddagh themed wedding favors.
What’s one thing you wish you would have known earlier in regards to planning? B: Can’t think of anything. I would advise future brides to do lots of research and look at a lot of photos to find their favorite themes.
