Aislinn Stirling and Jordan Crosby were married July 13, 2019 in Somba KSA国际影视传媒檈 Civic Plaza. Mark Crosby, an ordained minister and father of the bride, officiated.
Stirling knew Crosby was the one for her because their relationship flowed. Things were fairly easy. They understood each otherSA国际影视传媒檚 viewpoints and perceptions. They felt at home and were totally comfortable being around each other.
SA国际影视传媒淚 felt like we had a really deep connection and I wanted to keep that, so I pursued him,SA国际影视传媒� said Stirling.
The fact that she and her spouse shared the same workplace didnSA国际影视传媒檛 faze her at all, she said.
The bride is the daughter of Sandra and Bill Stirling, owners of Overlander Sports. The groom had been working at the popular sporting goods store since moving to Yellowknife in 2012.
SA国际影视传媒淢y brother was living here,SA国际影视传媒� said Crosby. SA国际影视传媒淗onestly he just bought me a ticket, so I just said SA国际影视传媒榶eah ISA国际影视传媒檒l come up for a bitSA国际影视传媒� and I thought that Yellowknife was a really cool place. I liked the people and my surroundings. I liked the atmosphere and what I was doing, so I decided I wanted to stay.SA国际影视传媒�
Ms. Stirling made frequent visits to Overlander where the two struck up a friendship. A few years ago, Stirling began working at the family business and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 when their friendship blossomed into romance.
SA国际影视传媒淲hat I initially started to love about Aislinn is that sheSA国际影视传媒檚 very smart and very easy to talk to,SA国际影视传媒� said Crosby. SA国际影视传媒淓ven before we started dating
I would talk to her about the things going on in my life, which I think brought us closer.
SA国际影视传媒淚 always felt really comfortable talking to her about things, exposing myself whether that was emotionally or otherwise. I mean, of course, sheSA国际影视传媒檚 definitely lovely on the eyes as well but more than anything, it was just the comfort I felt with her.SA国际影视传媒�
When husband and wife work next to each other, can they truly keep their home life outside the office? Stirling says itSA国际影视传媒檚 working out so far.
SA国际影视传媒淲e work together every single day but we met working together so weSA国际影视传媒檙e used to it,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淚t wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 a new thing for our relationship.SA国际影视传媒�
They have their different SA国际影视传媒渞ealmsSA国际影视传媒� in the store so theySA国际影视传媒檙e not together side by side all day every day.
They share an office, SA国际影视传媒渂ut my parents have shared an office for about 30 years so I think we can do it too,SA国际影视传媒� she said.
Getting married has not affected their day to day lives, she said, as they were already living together, SA国际影视传媒渂ut I think knowing we have that sacred bond and that commitment to one another, that feels really nice and itSA国际影视传媒檚 also a responsibility,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淪omething I think we both work to maintain to ensure that weSA国际影视传媒檙e going to have a long happy marriage.SA国际影视传媒�
About 150 people attended their wedding. Crosby invited his entire family from Ontario, though not all of them could make the trip north.
It had been a rainy summer so choosing to hold the ceremony outside was a risky move. In case of rain they planned to move the wedding ceremony into the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, but the couple lucked out because July 13 turned out to be one of the nicest days of the year, said Crosby.
SA国际影视传媒淵ellowknife is a really cool place to get married,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淓specially in the summertime. ThereSA国际影视传媒檚 just something about that late-night sun that adds to the party, that makes you want to keep going.SA国际影视传媒�
A number of random people in the park were treated to their nuptials but everyone who was watching from the sidelines was very respectful, he said.
Their reception was held at the Joint Task Force North building and they danced their first song as husband and wife to SA国际影视传媒淚 Want to Love YouSA国际影视传媒� by the German-born singer Lenachka.
A number of talented people helped make their wedding day a joyous one.
Local photographer Angela Gzowski took the photos. They hired Elora Braden SA国际影视传媒� a videographer who is originally from Yellowknife but who now resides in Golden, B.C. SA国际影视传媒� to film their wedding. Let Me Knot provided the flowers, Etandah Organic Day Spa did the brideSA国际影视传媒檚 makeup and their wedding cake was baked by the Fat Fox catering company.
SA国际影视传媒淎nd that was a hit, everybody loved that,SA国际影视传媒� said Stirling.
There were definitely some glitches. The limo sent to transport Stirling to Somba K'e Civic Plaza forgot to pick her up, SA国际影视传媒渟o I was late for my own wedding,SA国际影视传媒� she said.
SA国际影视传媒淚 wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 concerned,SA国际影视传媒� said Crosby.
SA国际影视传媒淗e knew I was coming,SA国际影视传媒� Stirling added.
If Stirling could give one piece of advice to any couple planning their wedding, it would be to take these tiny setbacks in stride.
SA国际影视传媒淵ou can plan all the little details and you want this perfect day but just because things donSA国际影视传媒檛 turn out perfectly or there are things that might go wrong doesnSA国际影视传媒檛 mean that your wedding still wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 wonderful,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淎nd at the end of the day youSA国际影视传媒檙e married, thatSA国际影视传媒檚 what matters.SA国际影视传媒�
