Lougheed House Evening Wedding [Lisa & Skylar]
Lisa and Skylar had a romantic and festive Lougheed House evening wedding in Calgary. The Christmas decor of the Lougheed House matched their red colour scheme and Lisa’s gorgeous red wedding dress. With the historic site already being decorated for the holidays, no extra decorating was needed for their wedding!
The wedding festivities began just after dusk with their ceremony. Their 14 year relationship in no way diminished their passion for each other, judging by their reactions! Skylar started loudly sobbing when he saw Lisa walk down the aisle, which resulted in her sobbing, and I almost joined them it was so intense! The crying soon turned to laughter as Lisa’s brother David performed the hilarious first part of the ceremony. Not only was it the funniest wedding ceremony I have ever attended, but it definitely hit a record for the most swearing during a ceremony!
After a quick toast to their guests, we explored the house with Lisa and Skylar for their photos. Luckily the weather was just warm enough to get a few photos with the beautiful exterior of the historic house.
We finished off the evening with their over the top family speeches which had everyone in tears of laughter, followed by some equally hilarious dance moves for the first dances. Lisa, Skylar, and their families fully embrace their humour and wackiness and it made for such a joyful wedding!
Congratulations, Lisa and Skylar!

Although Lisa’s brother performed the first part of the ceremony, he could not legally marry them. They immediately went to a smaller room with their witnesses to meet with their proper marriage commissioner and make the union legal!
Lisa’s dad demonstrated all of the things the wedding party made him carry in his suit pockets, including the garter Lisa forgot to put on!
Lisa’s sister described how she didn’t like the maid part of “maid of honour” and changed her own title to “commander in chief.”
Lisa made this amazing four tiered cake herself! The middle blue portion tells their love story, and the bears at the bottom were the cake topper at her brother’s wedding.
