Pam & Warren’s Long-Awaited

Celebration of Love

July 19, 2025 | Waskatenau Hall |

💕 4 PM ’til the last dance

After knowing each other for nearly 20 years, having 3 kids, and making more hay bales than we can count, we figured it is time to throw a party and finally share a last name.

We’re calling it a wedding.

We’re also calling it an excuse to gather the people we love most for an evening of fun, food, and flowers.

There’s no ceremony, no speeches, no dress code.

Just a casual celebration full of joy, peonies, and probably a little two-steppin’.

What to Expect:

When: Saturday, July 19, 2025
Where: Waskatenau Town Hall (the one where Pam’s parents tied the knot on the same day in 1980 💕)
Time: 4:00 PM until the music winds down and the kids are curled up in someone’s lap

There’ll be:

  • A farm-style grazing feast (come hungry!)

  • Flowers for days (literally. It’s peony season.)

  • Music, mingling, and maybe a few happy tears

  • Dancing encouraged, shoes totally optional

FAQs

(a.k.a. Things Someone Will Definitely Text Us About Anyway)

  • You’re not wrong. It’s about an hour out of town, but it’s a beautiful drive and 100% worth it. Just roll down the windows, cue up some Shania, and treat it like the country road trip you didn’t know you needed. Scroll down for our playlist to get you in the mood

  • Nope! We made it official in our own quiet way.
    There’ll be no vows, no aisle, no “kiss the bride” moment—just a stage for music, a dance floor ready for your best two-step, and the kind of love that’s been growing like wildflowers for nearly two decades.
    We skipped the formality, but trust us: this is the forever and ever, amen kind of party.

  • We’re keeping things relaxed and heartfelt—no printed invites, no stuffy rules. If you got a direct invite from us (a text, a call, a chat over the fence, or a nudge from Gran), you’re absolutely on the list and we can’t wait to see you there.

    The RSVP list has been growing faster than our zucchini patch, so we’re asking folks to keep it simple:
    If you didn’t hear from us personally, the Saturday celebration might not be the best time to drop by.

    It’s not that we’re fancy—it’s just that we’re aiming for an evening that feels like home. A room full of familiar faces, easy laughter, and no surprises (I’m looking at you Tyler S).

    And if you did get an invite, please don’t forget to RSVP!
    It helps us plan food, pie, seating, and the general flow of things. We promise not to assign you a table number or make you sit through speeches—but we do want to make sure there’s a plate and a piece of dessert with your name on it.

    Still want to join in the love fest but didn’t get the call? Come to the Sunday morning brunch—no RSVP needed, no pressure, just coffee, leftovers, and stories from the dance floor. It’s a wide-open welcome, and we’d be delighted to catch up then.

    Thanks for understanding—and for helping us keep this celebration grounded, cozy, and joy-filled. 🌾

  • We’re keeping things relaxed, real, and full of fun. Here’s what to expect:

    Friday, July 18 — Hall Set-Up & Snack-Fuelled Shenanigans
    6:00–9:00 PM | Waskatenau Town Hall
    If you’ve been roped into set-up or just want to kick off the weekend early, join us! We’ll set-up tables and chairs, laugh, eat snacks, and get everything ready for the big day.
    No late-night chaos—we want our crew rested for Saturday!

    Saturday Morning Vibe:
    No schedule, just space. We’ll be getting ready at the farm with a few light tasks, some coffee brewing, and a soft buzz of anticipation.
    If you’re around and want to hang, we’d love the company. If you’re napping until party time, we love that too.

    Saturday, July 19 — The Big Love Celebration
    4:00 PM ’til late | Waskatenau Town Hall

    • 3:30 PM – Doors open

    • 4:15 PM – A simple entrance as a family of five and a few short words

    • 4:30 PM – Grazing, mingling, tattoos & hugs

    • 6:30 PM – Dessert table opens

    • 7:00 PM+ – Music, dancing, and spontaneous joy

    No ceremony. No speeches. Just a whole lotta love.

    Sunday, July 20 — Breakfast & Big Love
    9:00–11:00 AM | Same hall, new coffee
    Drop in for a cozy breakfast and soft landing. PJs welcome.
    No structure, just good people and baked goods.

  • Nope! We have Overnight Camping (Yes, really!)

    We’ve got room on the farm for tents and trailers, stay at the ball diamond campground right in Waskatenau.
    Sleep under the stars or park it in prairie peace.
    Let us know if you’re camping so we can save you a patch!

  • We’ve got you covered. There will be a shuttle bus available to help folks get to where they need to go—whether that’s back to the farm, to a nearby stay, or just somewhere to swap your boots for sandals.
    If you think you’ll need a lift, let us know when you RSVP so we can plan accordingly. No one’s getting left behind (unless they want one more slice of pie).

  • There are a couple small-town motels within a 15–20 minute drive if you’re not into the whole “sleeping with the sound of frogs and laughter” thing. Feel free to message us if you need help finding one.

  • Sunday, July 20 – The Wind-Down

    Casual farm breakfast (think: coffee, buns, bacon, maybe a few leftover desserts if we don’t eat them all)
    Come as you are. Pajamas welcome.
    This isn’t a goodbye brunch—it’s a soft landing with good people and strong coffee.

  • Bold move, but sure. (Bonus points if you bring cinnamon buns.)

A Few Notes

  • Dress Code: Come as you are. Fancy? Casual? Farm-chic? All good.

  • Gifts: Truly, your presence is the present. But if you’d like to toss a few seeds into our travel fund, we’d love to turn those into memories across the pond. This field trip’s going international!

  • Kids: Absolutely. This is a family-friendly, barefoot-welcome kind of party.

  • Registry: Nope. Unless you count the pie table.

  • Photos: We’ll have someone snapping a few candids, but no awkward posed photos. Just the real stuff.
