In the heart of 2020, as the world stood still and uncertainty filled the air, love quietly carried on.

What was once planned as a grand celebration transformed into something far more intimate and powerful—an emotional gathering at the bride’s family home in Lethbridge, Alberta. With only immediate family present, this wedding became a heartfelt reminder that even when the world feels like it’s falling apart, love finds a way to bloom.

This wasn’t just a wedding. It was a moment of hope. A vow made not just between two souls, but in defiance of fear, in honour of connection, and in celebration of what truly matters.
