June 8,
1991. Guild Inn Scarborough. Christina Carr and Martin Hunger got
married in an outdoor ceremony using the Guild's Amphitheatre. As
wonderful as it was they ultimately wanted something a little
different. They swore they'd have it.
June 9,
2001. Ten years later, they (with the help of friends) got what they
wanted. They renewed their vows in a Medieval style ceremony and
spent the day surrounded by joy and merriment.
Part
One: Flashback
June 8, 1991. The Guild
Inn's Amphitheatre was the centre for many of our photos.
As it
soon became again on June 9, 2001.
The day
was already turning out to be beautiful and was favouring our
plans.
The day started well. One
of Martin's co-workers (Scott) traded vehicles with us as his had air-conditioning
and ours was pre-packed the night before with necessities for the event.
The first mishap of the
day was me getting into Scott's slightly taller Cherokee (Our Rodeo is shorter).
I sat back on the clipped up train of the dress and snapped the hook that
was holding it in place. We had to pick up some brass safety pins and pin
the train up.
This
didn't last long as the pins pull on the fabric and I was concerned
about any damage that may ensue so after the first few pics we took
out the pins and I spent the day carrying the train. Oh well. I
didn't mind too much.
OH! I
want to take this moment to make a special thank you to Andrew
Bergstrom who spent 16 hours cutting my 'circlet' for my head by
hand. He was going to run it through a lazer cutter at his work but
when the machine failed him he kept his promise to me by cutting it
by hand. You are amazing Andrew!!!
