Heather & Tyler Stewart, with their bridal party, on their New Year's eve wedding.
Cou'I from previous page
commented.
"I've been to so many wed-
dings with ministers who are
very good at what they do and
have the ceremony memorized,
but I can almost recite it word
for word by now. I wanted
something more personal."
Mason was included in near-
ly every aspect of the ceremo-
ny, saying "I do" to his own
vow, receiving a ring to repre-
sent Heather and Tyler's love
for him and signing the reg-
istry.
"The only thing he really
didn't do was the first kiss,"
Heather laughed. "Afterwards
I asked him what his favourite
part was and he said 'the
ring.M
To ensure all guests could
attend, the day's events were
held solely at the wheel chair
accessible community centre.
"Being wintertime, we want-
ed to keep everything in the
same place so no one had to
drive," she explained.
"Surprisingly, there wasn't a
lot of stress worrying about
the weather, because all of the
main people were in town."
Photos were taken at two
outdoor locations near Blyth.
Heather, Tyler and members
of the wedding party also
donned their skates and sticks
for a few on -ice photos at the
arena.
The groom's pas-
sion for hockey was
also highlighted by
tablecards featuring
eight National
Hockey League
teams.
Instead of the
bride and groom
kissing when guests
tapped their wine
glasses, the emcee
asked guests to make
a- donation to the
annual Super Cities Walk for
Multiple Sclerosis.
"I thought we'd raise $40-
$50 in toonies and loonies, but
I couldn't even believe it when
we raised $500. My mom was
crying," said Heather, who
participates in the walk each
year for her mother.
Pleased with the day's
events, she encouraged other
brides to step outside the box
when planning their weddings.

"We could have gone about it
completely different, really
focusing on New Year's with
party hats and favours, but we
didn't," Heather explained.
"It didn't even seem like
New Year's, but we got a lot of
positive feedback from guests
about it being completely dif-
ferent than any other wedding
they've been to."
Mission accomplished.
