BRANDI & COLIN
July 14, 2007

Welcome to our web site!!

Information will be added as it becomes available.

Sincerely,
Colin and Brandi

Our Story

We both met the summer of 2004 at The Great Northern Casino in Grande Prairie, Alberta.  After an instant connection and a whirlwind romance we bought our first home together in the spring of 2005.  Shortly thereafter we were pleased to announce that we were expecting a new addition to the family! (Tyler Frederick Burns was born on January 23, 2006).

In October 2005 Colin planned an elaborate proposal on the Columbian Ice Fields in Banff, Alberta.  His efforts consisted of a private helicopter tour, a riverside picnic, complete with proposal and a three night stay at the gorgeous Banff Springs Hotel!

Two homes, a dog, and many firsts later; we are happy to announce that our wedding will take place on July 14, 2007 at St. Ann’s Academy Garden in Victoria, B.C.  We both look forward to seeing you there!
