Who doesn’t love warm chocolate chip cookies with an icy glass of milk, hardy macaroni and cheese, sweet peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and yummy grilled cheese with tomato soup? Did I get your taste buds going yet? These maybe some of your favourites but you don’t necessarily see them on your “menu du jour” for the big day. Don’t count them out just yet…

I understand the appeal of having a wedding outdoors – who wouldn’t want the natural beauty of nature to be the backdrop of their special day? Because I got married in October (in a chilly, unpredictable city like Montreal) an outdoor ‘do was a major “don’t” in my mind.

Not because owning a Chanel tweed suit is the ultimate sign of “making it” or because the brand is synonymous with class and refinement. But because Miss Coco was the ultimate rule-breaker. You see, I have a little soft spot for breaking rules. I broke quite a few of them as a teenager in school, and I still try to break a few here and there when I can. Mainly, I like to get away from the “this is how it’s always done” when it comes to weddings.
