Going to the Chapel





Matt's cousin Erin and her now husband Jordan got married last Saturday in Vancouver. It was a rare McCall occasion to visit distant relatives like Matt's uncle Brian from Montreal and his sister Carolyn who is living in Fort McMurphy with her boyfriend Dean. Matt and Jennifer enjoyed a 24 hour date while Jasmine stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Brandle in Victoria. The wedding was an elaborate affair at Morgan Creek Golf Club complete with a chocolate fountain for dessert, a Catholic ceremony, and gorgeous orchids everywhere.

Pictures posted here include one of the three McCall men: Doug, Neil (Matt's dad) and Brian. Jennifer and her sister-in-law Lisa are also pictured.

We just returned from an 8 day trip to Victoria during which we celebrated both Jasmine's (2nd)and Jennifer's (29th...errr, 32nd) birthdays. We packed an unbelievable number of activities into that short trip including a Great Big Sea concert (thanks Nicky and Scott for the B-day gift), Matt's cousin Erin's wedding in Vancouver (thanks mom and dad "B" for the grandkid sitting), 3 mornings at the beach with Jasmine, a trip to Nanaimo to visit Jennifer's cousin Alina, Metchosin days fall fair, dinner out for Korean food, 2 BBQs, and much more. It was a wonderful, though exhausting visit and we are now trying hard to adjust to the cool PG fall weather. I'll be pulling out my winter clothing from under the stairs pretty quick!
