BEAUTY PICK
I barely wore mascara because I knew I would be an emotional mess. H O N EYMO O N
We went to Tulum, Mexico, which was perfect because I want to be buried with chips and salsa. I love Mexican food almost as much as my now husband.
We’re extremely connected to the beach—it’s our holy place. As a nod to how we met, our cocktail hour was carnival themed: games everywhere, Fruit Roll-Ups, corn dogs, artists and someone on stilts.

A hot tub—we really want to landscape our backyard.
W E D D I N G M U S T - H AV E S
A live band, a buffet of fattening food and our own vows.

HOW WE MET
Alan and I met 10 years ago through the varsity basketball program at University of Western Ontario. Three years later, I asked him out (he’ll tell you otherwise, but trust me).

We wanted something that lasted more than a few hours and felt super intimate. We rented a property for 30 people and invited who would have been in our wedding party, plus our parents. Everything matched the chill, vacation-y vibe.

Kick-ass outfits for us both, personalized vows—when else would we cry and promise to unload the dishwasher in exchange for folding the laundry?—and a throwback playlist.

HOW WE MET
William and I met in a rehearsal in Los Angeles for The Carnival dance show about eight years ago. He was Mr. Cool and thought he could sweet-talk me with his charisma—and he did. After a month, I was saying, “I love you.”
