My Wedding Day with Alison Curtis: 'We had a house together so I asked Anton to marry me'

My family scenario was that my parents had passed when I was a teenager, so I have a lot of aunts and uncles that had significant roles in my life, so I was trying to get them involved
My Wedding Day with Alison Curtis: 'We had a house together so I asked Anton to marry me'

I asked Anton to marry me in February of 2007 and then I said let’s set the date for September. 

We got married on September 9, 2007, in Canada, in a place called The Old Mill, which is just outside of Toronto. We decided to do it in Canada because my family is really big and Anton’s family is really small, so it made sense to do it that way.

We had the ceremony in a chapel in the Old Mill, but it wasn’t religious ceremony. The celebrant was a minister, but it was a civil wedding. My family scenario was that my parents had passed when I was a teenager, so I have a lot of aunts and uncles that had significant roles in my life, so I was trying to get them involved — my uncle walked me down the aisle and my aunt made a speech.
