There’s a company in town that does riverboat cruises. And you can book their boat for private functions. So today I have put a deposit on their boat for our wedding next summer.

Ian and I, both being kind of ridiculous Canadian patriots (if by Canadian Patriots you mean someone who loves Canadian Beer and the Tragically Hip) have decided we want a Canadian themed wedding.

You know, if we’re having a Canadian wedding on the water, you should really dress like a voyageur, I told him. Like this.

No, no, he told me. With plaid. Like this.

And the more I think about it, the more I think that there probably wouldn’t be anything more Canadianly romantic than a log-driver themed wedding. Totes swooning.
