Dasha and Andrew’s love story began on a Halloween night during high school, when they met through a mutual friend while trick-or-treating. Despite attending different schools, they felt an instant connection: Andrew was dressed as a cowboy and Dasha as a bunny. This chance encounter laid the foundation for their future. Over the years, from high school sweethearts to a married couple, their journey is a testament to the beautiful union of two cultures—Italian from Andrew’s side and Ukrainian from Dasha’s—melded into one Canadian life centered around a mutual love for pasta!
Dasha wore a wedding gown with detachable sleeves by Pronovias. Makeup for the bride and bridal party was expertly applied by Dasha’s best friend Leeanne Grossi and her close friend Dana Lucy Pay.

The newlywed’s Sweetheart Table was positioned under a romantic flower-adorned gazebo designed by WILD THEORY FLORAL AND EVENT DESIGN.
Dasha’s love for cake inspired the custom ‘Funfetti’ flavor. A gelato cart was also added so guests could have ‘cake and ice cream.’ A Ukrainian Korovai, (wedding bread) was also served to symbolize the Ukrainian community’s blessings upon the wedding. Over 40 Ukrainian dancers wearing traditional costumes performed two exciting shows during dinner. “They included the couple and their parents into the dances. It was so well done!” shares event planner Tracey McAteer. A live band also performed all evening, from the moment the doors opened. The couple and their guests also enjoyed a late-night Southern comfort food station and a photo booth station.
