OUR HAPPILY EVER
After Party
There won’t be a seating chart, speeches, or signature cocktails—but there will be BBQ, lawn games, dancing, and all the people we love.
We’ll be celebrating on Dave’s family property, surrounded by trees, open sky, and memories already rooted there. It’s the most “us” setting we could imagine—laid-back, joyful, and filled with good food and even better company.

August 1, 2026
Come for the BBQ and dancing, stay for the bonfire—and bring your tent or trailer if you’re in it for the long haul.

Just the basics to help you get ready for a laid-back day of food, music, and memories in the making.

East St. Paul, MB
We’re gathering at Dave’s family home and backyard just outside of the East St. Paul/Birds Hill town.
The exact address and directions will be sent after RSVP.
Look for signs and friendly faces when you arrive!

Keep It Casual
This is a backyard kind of day—wear what makes you feel good.
No suits or heels needed—just your comfiest summer wear, picnic-approved and dance-floor-ready.
Don’t forget to bring something warm for when the stars come out.

BBQ + Sweet Treats
We’re serving up grilled favourites and BBQ classics, and dessert.
Grab a plate, share a table, go back for seconds.
Let us know about any allergies when you RSVP!

Lawn Chair & Backyard Vibes
We’ll have a few extra chairs, but feel free to bring your own.
Blankets, camp chairs, or picnic gear all work perfectly.
Just show up comfy and ready to relax.

Be Weather-Wise
This is an outdoor celebration, so plan accordingly.
Sunscreen, hats, light layers—it’s Manitoba, after all.
We’ll adapt as needed, and make the best of it either way.
RSVP by Invitation
We’re making the guest list, checking it twice—and saving you a plate.
Everyone on our guest list will receive a personal RSVP link—it’s how we’re keeping things simple and intentional. Your invite includes a personalized form where you can let us know if you’ll be joining the celebration.

Add a Track to the Afterparty Playlist
We’re building our celebration soundtrack together.
Add your favorite songs—ones that make you dance, sing, cry happy tears, or just vibe. We’ll hit play when the food’s hot and the lights go low.
