Wedding Venue: In Banff …in a What?!?

When I was thinking about where to have my wedding, I thought that if my guy and I could go somewhere remote, just the two of us, it would be perfect. Not meant to be, though. Our families wouldn’t have it; they wanted to be there with us, celebrating our blessed union. Whatever. I was digging my heels in on the “somewhere remote” aspect, I’ll tell you that. After a gazillion hours of research, it seemed that Banff, Alberta was the place, with their “unusual and beautiful wedding venues.”

I couldn’t decide whether it would be a Hoodoo wedding (Hoodoos “are strange formations, some resembling mushrooms, that have a certain mystique about them. They are pillars of limestone that were formed by water and wind erosion over thousands of years, and they provide a unique backdrop for wedding ceremonies”), or at the Bear and Bison: A Canadian Country Inn where, over the last two years, they’ve “hosted over two hundred weddings, many of which have been elopements,” or if we’d go for the exciting “Hummer Wedding.” Mind OUT of the gutter, please! The Hummer (the vehicle, people!) takes you to one of “these remote settings” which “are only accessible by a 4 x 4 Hummer” according to Banff Hummer Backcountry Tours. Perfect, right? Right! [Fast forward one week.] Due to circumstances well out of my control, we’re going to get married near Atlanta. Georgia. In July. I bet my hair wouldn’t frizz in Banff. Oh well. Maybe on our first anniversary, we’ll renew our vows in a Hummer. One can dream…
