Weddings don't get much more unique than this! Andrea and Christopher, who met in high school when both were cast in the play "Into The Woods", returned to their roots with a rustic celebration in Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park.
The couple prepared for their big day at Algonquin East Gate Motel, where they had their first look (in a phone booth), before proceeding to Shell Gas Bar Diner for a pre-wedding brunch with their two guests. Afterwards, the group of four paddled to their campsite on Galeairy Lake where an intimate ceremony was conducted followed by a no frills bonfire dinner cooked by the bride. In lieu of a bouquet the bride and her maid of honour carried plants and tree branches gathered from the forest and in place of a traditional tiered wedding cake the couple opted for a store-bought McCain Deep 'n Delicious marble cake.
