Brittany and Ethan grew up within five minutes of each other, but their paths didn’t cross until 2012 when they met at a mutual friend’s birthday party in Waterloo, Ontario. At the time, they were both in their first year of studies at Wilfrid Laurier University.

The bride’s parents’ backyard was the perfect setting for a tented ceremony led by Rabbi Adam Cutler. The couple used kiddush cups that had belonged to their late grandparents as a special tribute. Although the ceremony was traditionally Jewish, the couple personalized it in their own way. “We held hands almost the entire time and faced each other which isn’t traditional but was super special,” shares Brittany.
In only one hour (talk about an epic flip!), the ceremony tent was completely transformed into a dreamy reception space by the team at
