He married us too, and everyone was in tears... with laughter... good thing I had cry packs!! ;)</P><P>I'm so glad your day went well, and I'm eagerly awaiting some more photos!!!</P><P>P.S. the cake looks great - can't go wrong with Dufflet's cakes, they always taste amazing. Too bad about the flowers, but getting the flavours right is more important, IMO.Sun, 07 May 2006 16:10:50 GMTGermanyhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic32579-11-1.aspxHi everyone,<P>just got back from our honeymoon and I still have to sort through some of the pictures that were taken by my friends so I can post some for CB...</P><P>but here are my vendor reviews:</P><P>Venue- Canoe Restaurant - 9.5/10 fabulous venue (we were unlucky and there was fog almost the entire night- so there were no views of Toronto Island, the CN tower etc from the 54th floor :crying:) overall great staff (we had some issues) and amazing food!!! worth the money!!</P><P>Officiant- Dr. Cerwyn Davies- 10 ++/10 - <A href="mailto:norwyn@rogers.com">norwyn@rogers.com</A> (416)267-1967 - he's so great!!

For flowers- I only had 4 bouquets (mine, my MOH, and two FGs). Here's a picture of my bouquet - even better than I imagined!! </P><P><IMG height=480 src="http://www.msnusers.com/_Secure/0egAAAIIlUwwrnSKxcVtGua0MhqDvs8oQbALh9wutY1c8omaYQNjhf6s9PUkAEAlUUX5sFpY3ZbYpl4SvHWU8kWcQn1QHJcCaUHyAEbA28cl8DyZtEQl3B1iL8kl2FjQmHHFYHYZIN95stMCyQCAPO2tapNwdM*pexE2mzyFSQ61gsNx8V5qwww/angela%20and%20mike's%20wedding%20April22,06%20024.jpg?dc=4675569790999410663" width=640 align=center border=0><A href="tn_click_pic(24, 640, 480)" name=Photo24></A></P><P>Cake - Dufflet Pastries - 9.5/10 - <A href="http://www.dufflet.com/">www.dufflet.com</A> (416)484-9080 mmmmmm..... very delicious (also many compliments from our guest) and it looked great- I had ordered for the flowers to be just at the top but somehow they ended up "cascading" down- still okay but not what I orderred.</P><P>here's a picture:it was more white in real life... not so yellow - we had a lot of leftovers, but most the guests were eager to take some home!!</P><P><A href=" ImageOption('exif');"><IMG id=thePhoto height=450 src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid205/p9f5038a5c78ab1ec7fe2545ebdbd48d4/ef1c7305.jpg" width=338 border=0></A></P><P>Dress- Bridal Fashion Fraire -http://www.fraire.net/bff/ - 8/10 - good staff, didn't have to do any alterations so I can't comment on the fitting process. reasonable prices. good selection</P><P>Veil - The Bride's Project - <A href="http://www.thebridesproject.com/">www.thebridesproject.com</A> - 10/10 - very nice, excellent prices for veils and other things...
