Be warned this is a long post!!...Since last week Jade and me have moved on again and we're now back in lively Downtown Vancouver. We left Victoria on friday morning and headed by coach, 2 hours a bit further up the coast on Vancouver Island to a small town called Nanaimo, now when i say small it was actually tiny and had very little to do. But as one of the main ferry points was not too far away we decided to stay a couple of nights. We ended up at the Hosteling International place, which i think was the only hostel there and pretty much just chilled out and thought we would try and get ourselves some veiwings for appartments for when we got back to main Vancouver. The Hostel itself was really nice (a ... read more

I can't believe we've actually done it!! Final preparations were made on Monday of packing bags and saying our goodbyes to family and friends, and then began a long sleepless night (i think we only slept around an hour at the most just from the excitement of leaving!) before the taxi came to pick us up at around 5am on Tuesday morning. The flight itself was ok, we flew with Air Transat, a non stop flight so in the end the flight took around 9 1/5 hours, long i know! but we got to Vancouver eventually at around 11:30 am and then began the longest wait I've ever had going through border control.

Dear Diary, Today I married Ann L., the most wonderful, amazing, fantastic, incredible, uncanny and mightiest woman in the world. Here are some of the early photos from our wedding day photo shoot and from friends. I'll update when the professional photos arrive. The boys started the morning at our house in Burnaby and then proceeded to Ann's sister’s house in Vancouver. We had to demonstrate my worthiness by performing balancing acts, eating strange food, singing and bribing the guardians of the house to be allowed to pick up my bride. We had a giant pizza lunch supplied as one of our wedding gift from Ada. We all piled into cars with the photographer and videographer (Alex) and headed around town for wedding photos - Gastown, Coal Harbour and Stanley Park. Keeran lent Ann and I ... read more
