In December 2022, we got a very unexpected surprise....We found out that we are going to have another baby!! (due September 2023)! We were very excited to continue the celebrations and plan for a more forgiving dress however, we had a health obstacle that would prevent Kendra from travelling before the 27 week mark.... SOOO, we had to make the difficult decision to postpone the wedding. As an aside, Kendra is much happier knowing she can enjoy in the Italian libations once again
It was a wintery December evening and Kendra & Andrew had both just received their third COVID boosters at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Andrew had a surprise in mind, as well as a certain something burning a hole in his pocket. On the walk home, he suggested they pass by City Hall to see the big lit up tree. "Are you crazy? It's way too cold," was the response. Undeterred, and knowing Kendra's deep love for civic spaces, he pivoted to suggest David Pecaut Square, which, being the shortest route to the streetcar, was deemed acceptable. He took to one knee by the reflecting pool at the eternal flame. "But we just got our boosters," was the initial response, quickly followed by a "Yes". Afterwards, they celebrated with sushi. It was perfect
The pandemic changed many plans for Kendra & Andrew. They wanted to celebrate internationally but, faced with uncertainty around when the timing would be right, they decided to share an intimate ceremony with immediate family. They knew not everyone would be able to make the international voyage. They never got the chance to celebrate with you and with all the paperwork out of the way, that can start right away! They cannot wait.
Yes! Kendra will be officially changing her name! I mean, who doesn't want to have a chant... Bark Bark Bark Bark
Your presence is gift enough! However, if you would like to gift us with something else, we would love any support on building our home! We are looking to renovate our home so we can fit our growing family and any support with that would be so amazing. xo The Barkmans
