We had the island alone for the eveningrecalls the bride. Furthermore, It made it magic, it was a moment cut off from the rest of the world in a grandiose environment.

The two lovebirds met in secondary school and met at university, where their love flowered more. Consequently, Ten years after the start of their relationship, Vincent Cousineau-d’Aoust made his great request.

However, due to the pandemic, they had to review the organization of the ceremony.

What do we do, do we refer to several years or do we do it completely differently?questioned Laurence Brossard-Charbonneau. In addition, We said to ourselves “Let’s try something else!”

An intimate marriage

Rather than making a complete ceremony with countless guests. the couple rather opted for a eludationan intimate and discreet marriage that challenges codes. For the bride, the choice was obvious.

The raw nature side. the immense panoramas released and the view of the river […] There is this feeling of freedom say “yes i want it” that drives us as soon as we set foot on the North Shore.

The sheepfolds, Natashquan, or even what Josée Grondin affectionately calls the Whippets beachin Franquelin, are all popular destinations for ceremonies of this kind, she said.

A welcome trend
