Some Very Yummy Lemonade

So Grick and I have busily been making lemonade out of the lemons that some random arsonist handed us. All of your kind words, good vibes and hard work all coalesced into an awesome new venue - La Terrazza Restaurant in Yaletown!

I was surprised that they were able to fit our wedding size. When we were first looking at venues months ago, La Terrazza was on the list but we obtained some incorrect information as to it's capacity so we never checked it out. Goes to show....always ask and go to the source! It's a gorgeous and unique place with some truly excellent food. We are both very excited and keep joking that this fire may have been the best thing that could have happened :) We are now able to cut some things that we didn't really want and are able to condense everything into one day! So the new wedding schedule will be as follows:

• Sikh Wedding - June 11th morning
• Tea Ceremony - June 11th afternoon
• Reception - June 11th evening

You will all have the whole weekend to recover so make sure you are raring to go!

Ciao :)
