Since I work from home, I get to spend all day with Bradley. Lucky me! I set up a webcam so Kim can keep an eye on Bradley and not miss him so much while she’s out of the house during the day. Stay tuned for all sorts of puppy hijinks. You never know when a special guest will make an appearance.

Kim and I are very excited to introduce Bradley. He is a 9 week old 3/4 wheaten and 1/4 schnauzer. There may be some Irish in there too.

After much deliberation about his name, we realized the street he was born on had a name that would be great. Even better than Axl, Lars, Dimebag, Ozzy, Slash, Mustaine or even Lamb of Dog… so I am told.

Bradley just had the most exciting day of his life. We drove to pick him up from the Muskoka region where he was bred. Today he discovered grass, life in the big city, the exuberance of a 3 year old and humped his first leg.

This was more than enough to tire out any pup. And so, now we sleep…

While Kim and I were away in Hawaii, our friends Jamie and Rosie of Photocaptiva were busily working on the countless photos they took of our rehearsal and wedding day. Much to our delight, they were finished before we returned. You can see the results in the above slideshow.

Kim and I are blown away by how well Jamie and Rosie captured this time in our lives. We had a really good feeling about how the wedding photos would turn out after our engagement session with them, but this is above and beyond all of our expectations. I doubt you would believe me if I told you that ours was their first wedding shoot.

We would like to send out a big thank you to Jamie and Rosie for their hard work and the care that they poured into these photographs.

As well as making a video of Kim dancing with our flower girl, Karylton, Jon also caught many great moments in stills. All this on top of being a groomsman. Many thanks to Jon.

A big thanks to our groomsman, Jon, for capturing one of Kim’s favourite moments of the evening.

Kim and I are still basking in the afterglow of the amazing day we had yesterday. We are writing this while waiting for our flight to Hawaii at Pearson. We will be spending the next week honeymooning there.

Thank you so much to everyone who took part in our wedding. You all made it a day we could never forget.

This site will now become our family blog. You can expect to see lots of puppy pictures here soon.

We look forward to returning and hearing about how Karylton and Sebastian’s breakfast date went this morning!

Tomorrow is the big day, but as you can imagine the excitement has been ramping up for some weeks now. I’m writing this during a pocket of time that I imagine is the calm before the storm.

Don’t let anyone tell you it’s stressful or difficult to plan a wedding. This was a piece of cake. Seriously.

Speaking of storms, there is the possibility of rain tomorrow. Not to worry though. Although we’re planning to have the ceremony outside we have a contingency plan that will let us have it inside the reception hall. All the bases are covered.

Right now Kim and her bridal party are out at the spa and then going to lunch. I’m hanging out with my sister’s boyfriend, Mike, and wrapping up some last bits of work.

Kim and I will be heading out to Ajax this afternoon to check into the hotel and bring some stuff out for the wedding.

We will be gathering with the wedding party tonight at Deer Creek for the rehearsal and dinner.

And then comes the big day…

Last Friday my dad and best man got a bunch of my family and friends together to celebrate my bachelorhood/freedom/what have you.

We started at the Jason George. Then we went to the Upfront to show them how karaoke is done. Then there was a Chinese restaurant. I don’t remember much from that point on.

Thanks to everyone for coming out. And thanks to my dad and Jamie for taking pictures.

Great times, they were.

The wedding is all planned out, so Kim and I have been working on what happens after that. The first order of business is getting a puppy.

We drove up to Gravenhurst on the weekend to meet a breeder and pick out this little guy. He’s a wheaten-schnauzer mix born near the beginning of April.

We also got to hang out with his birth-mom for a bit. She was as friendly as they come.

We’re bringing him home at the end of May, after the wedding and honeymoon.
