[musical intro] Hi, I'm Donna, and we're in Spruce Bog in
Algonquin Park. It's our last full day on the trip, so possibly the next you'll be seeing
us we'll be at home. Um, yesterday we introduced you to Drew, one of the groomsmen in the party.
We threw him in this video quite early because he lives in Alberta and it'd be one of the
few chances we'll have to see him before the wedding. I wanted to talk to you today about
how we chose our wedding party, our wedding party is pretty much decided. I have two sisters
that I'm quite close to so those were sort of a given. And I'm also one third of a group
of three best friends and I would have to include them as well. I had a really hard
time choosing my maid of honour because I have two sisters that I don't wanna choose
between, and two best friends I don't wanna choose between. So I decided, as well as Paul
in his similar situation, to have two maids of honour and Paul will have two best men.
This is quite a controversial topic I've noticed on the internet, people saying adults that
are getting married should be able to chose, you know, one over the other. but I don't
think that's necessarily true. One of the problems that we ran into, though, is that
you can only have one witness per... bride and groom, so two total, sign your wedding
license, wedding certificate. So, we've done a bit of thinking about it and we've noticed
that also one person only can stand next to you and the next person would have to stand
next to them. So as a compromise we'll have one person standing next to us and the next
person will be the one who signs the marriage certificate. Also, Paul feels very strongly
that both should sign a second. you know, "fake" marriage certificate that will have
all four witnesses' and our signatures on it that we'll keep for ourselves and hang
on the wall. Paul will probably talk to you a bit about the people in his wedding party,
as well as someone I didn't mention is I'm also going to be asking another one of my
friends named Anna to be in my wedding party. But, one of my sisters actually works with
food so I'm going to give her the choice of being a bridesmaid or being the caterer, we'll
talk more about that later. So, that's all I really have to say, we're in the middle
of doing this trail right now. I don't think I mentioned it's day 6, July 26, 2013. Not
sure where we'll be coming to you from tomorrow, but we'll talk to you then. Bye.
Bye vlog.
