Congratulations, from the Queen!
Mr. Dan's grandparents have been married for 60 years. That's 6-0. 60. And they are as much in love today as they were then they got married. They make me smile at the thought of being with Mr. Dan for that long...
So Nanny and Poppa's family had a big to-do this weekend to celebrate their anniversary. They rented out the community centre and had an open house. Complete with wedding decor, arches, diamonds (because your 60th is your diamond anniversary), ceremony arch, photographer and a wedding cake!! Poppa even wore the shoes he got married in.

Date of the deed...
So it's happening - the contract has been signed, the deposit has been paid, the venue has been booked and the date has been set. Sunday September 4, 2011 Dan and I will be getting married!!!
Please feel free to squee for me.
Okay, enough squeeing. Here's some pictures that our coordinator has sent.
This is what the ceremony set-up would be. Obviously not pink...I am not a pink wedding girl BUT the set-up is like this...
Anyways, this would be the basic set up of the tables. We're thinking red table squares and napkins.
The centrepieces are tall square vases. The venue provides floating candles and tea lights so my BFF and I are going to go rock gathering around beaches in the area and use them in the bottom with a single flower, water, a floating candle and maybe tea lights around. Similar to....
But with some rocks in the bottom and probably not so much a wispy flower. I almost picture a Gerber daisy or bright yellow (small) sunflower but I don't know if either of those would work.
Thoughts?

I love that there`s that big chandiler in the center, where our vows will be said. And the arch is lovely, although I don`t know if it`s the venue`s or not. Something to look into...

Happy Canada Day!!!
I know, I know, I'm bad at updating. Leave me alone - I'm a busy lady!
This weekend coming is my parents annual Keji Fest. Now what, you might ask, is Keji Fest. Well, my friends and loyal (or not to loyal) readers, this is an annual party that mom and dad have been throwing for over 30 years. We all head to our farmhouse (located outside of Kijimkijik National Park), get a theme, get some friends, get lots of booze, set up the croquet tournament and head on out! This is an event that is looked forward to all year! It's a blast!!!
This year our theme was Cuban. Everyone brings something along so I decided that I would bring along that wonderful Cuban drink - a mojito. So below is my recipe for a delicious Cuban mojito. They were a hit, so try one for yourself!!

Paige's Cuban Mojitos
What you will need:
- A tall glass
- Ice
- A drink muddler (If you don't have this then the back of an ice cream scoop will work)
- White Rum (preferably Havana Club)
- Limes (lots of limes)
- Powdered white sugar
- Fresh mint
- Club Soda
- Put 1 tsp sugar, some mint and about 1 oz lime in the glass.
- Use the muddler (or ice cream scoop) to crush it all up together. The sugar and lime should be kind of oozy, not too dry.
- Put 1.5 (or more!) oz of white rum in and give it a stir.
- Add ice
- Fill glass the rest of the way with club soda.
- Garnish with a lime
- Consume
- Repeat.
