“A perfect Ottawa backdrop”
No, that image is not a green screen image – it was taken by Ottawa photographer Barbara Cameron, one of our personal favorites here at WR! She shot Chrystine and Dan’s wedding, on August 11th, 2012.
Chrystine and Dan are definitely a match made in Scrabble heaven… having met 5 years ago, after he literally showed up on her doorstep with a mutual friend, who, introduced them to each other as “Dan, this is my single friend Chrystine and Chrystine this is my single friend Dan.” They friended each other on Facebook and continued to play Scrabble together online for weeks before Dan mustered up the courage to ask Chrystine out. And for this reason, they used Scrabble tiles for table numbers at their wedding. How cute!
They created their wedding registry with us since they had many guests travelling afar for he wedding. Dan is from Nova Scotia while Chrystine is from Ottawa, and together they currently reside in Toronto. It is to be noted that they are NOT Leafs fans, however – which is why they added Ottawa Senators tickets to their wedding registry. What a great idea, and this gift sold out quick.
Though they live in Toronto, Chrystine made it clear that they are NOT Toronto Maple Leafs fans.
“We fell in love with the museum unique space and architecture.”
They added other things such as kayak rentals for when they spent time in Iceland on their honeymoon, as well as a bike rack for their car, and a membership to their favorite winery!
“We both adore travel, being adventurous, cooking and eating great food and drinking great wine”

“We were looking for something unique that fit our personalities and yet was more personal…Wedding Republic allowed the convenience of giving money but with the personal touch of knowing just how we wanted to use it. Our guests loved it! They felt like there were contributing to this great life we were going to have as husband and wife… I think it was also a great way for our friends and family to get to know us a little better as a couple.”
Congratulations, Chrystine and Dan!
