They were surrounded by family, friends, and complete strangers 91裸聊视频� and for their big day, the Akermans wouldn91裸聊视频檛 have it any other way.
On Saturday, Dec. 30, the Historic O91裸聊视频橩eefe Ranch was transformed into a magical wedding venue for Diane and Corey Akerman, who won an all expenses paid wedding at the ranch little over a month ago.
It was a pre-New Year91裸聊视频檚 Eve celebration, and Okanagan wedding specialist Dee Cristante, who created the wedding contest in partnership with O91裸聊视频橩eefe, put together a full itinerary of wedding activities that culminated in a mock New Year91裸聊视频檚 Eve countdown to midnight.
The shotgun wedding extravaganza kicked off with, well, a shotgun. Westwold91裸聊视频檚 Joe Danger popped outside the venue and let loose a blast from his shotgun, signalling the beginning of the special night.
Moments later, Corey got his first glimpse of his bride in her wedding dress as she was led into the venue.
91裸聊视频淚 knew she was going to be beautiful, she always is, but that was just beyond anything I could ever have imagined, just how beautiful she looked,91裸聊视频� Corey said after the knot had been tied.
After the grand entrance, the ceremony, the vows and some matrimonial tears, Corey and Diane were now the Akermans.
Three years ago when the couple got engaged, their future wedding seemed out of sight, and the couple said the wedding contest presented the chance to have their dream wedding come true.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 just been so exciting and we91裸聊视频檙e so glad everybody could show up to see us tonight, and we appreciate everything,91裸聊视频� said Diane. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e so excited that we were given this opportunity, because it91裸聊视频檚 definitely more than we ever dreamed of.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淲ith us not having the finish line in sight and then have it presented as an option for us, this is beyond anything we could have ever done ourselves,91裸聊视频� Corey added.
Not having the stress of having to plan a wedding was an added bonus for the couple, and on this point, Corey sympathized with his sister, who he said still has a year to go until her big day.
91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e looking forward to my sister91裸聊视频檚 wedding next year,91裸聊视频� he said, beaming.
The Akermans didn91裸聊视频檛 know everyone who showed up to their wedding 91裸聊视频� that was part of the fun. The only catch to the shotgun wedding contest was that the chosen couple had to get married in front of a live audience of people who purchased tickets to be a part of the big day, and the Akermans embraced all who attended with open arms.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 been a dream come true,91裸聊视频� Diane said.
After the ceremony, the night was filled with dancing, music, champagne, pizza, wedding cake, cupcakes for the guests, and dreams of 2024, the first year the Akermans will embark on as husband and wife.
