Our Wedding

If you're here, you have a special place in our hearts, and we are so excited to share our day with you! Over 11 years ago, at only 16 and 17 years old, we started dating. We were young, naive, and neither of us knew the love we would have for each other. After we both graduated high school, Tyson went into culinary school and started to work downtown Vancouver at Coast restaurant, and Jenna went to school to become a legal assistant and got a job at a firm in Richmond. We both actually ended up at Vancouver Community College at the same time for a semester. We both worked hard at our jobs up until covid hit and we both lost them. We had to then make a hard decision to move out of the lower mainland and up to the Okanagan. Fast forward a few years, we found out that we were expecting our baby girl, Emmy. We then made a decision that Armstrong was going to be our home. It was where we wanted to raise our family. About 9 months after having Emmy, we bought our first home! We have now been in this home for over 3 years. We've had so many good memories with friends and family here. When Emmy was close to turning 2, we started discussing about growing our little family. Our little boy, Kayce, was then born in June of last year. Emmy is now turning 4 in September and Kayce will be ONE on June 13th, we can barely believe it. They are our entire world. At the beginning of this year, we looked at each other and felt like this was definitely the year for us, and we were right! We decided to start our own business roasting coffee, as well as plan our wedding - boy, has it been busy! (while also taking care of our two littles). We feel so beyond blessed and wouldn't change anything. Like any relationship, through the ups and downs, we always committed ourselves to each other and we always knew we wanted to be together. We've done a lot of growing and learning over the last 11 years together and feel that it is finally the right time to say I do. We honestly couldn't be happier.

Our Story

Photos

Kailey has the special role as maid of honor for a reason - she has been in Jenna's life for over 11 years and is Tyson's cousin.  She ALWAYS brightens up a room with her smile, is always looking for a good time and always there when you need her.

Kailey King

Bella is Jenna's sister! They met not even 3 years ago but are as close as sisters could get.  She's only 5.1, but has so much love to give with her firecracker personality. She lives across the world but it's still at the top of Jenna and Tyson's list to have her move back to Canada. What a great wedding gift that would be!

Bella Marconato

Matt and Tyson became close friends when they worked at the Keg together. Restaurant work isn't always easy with those late nights, but Matt was always there to make those times better. Matt is always the life of the party but don't mess with him or he may have you handcuffed. #ConstableMatt

Matt Kirk

Tyson and Tyson...Barker and Harker...if your names are that close and you aren't friends, there is something seriously wrong with you.  Tyson is one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet. If you're a lover of sports, this is the guy to talk to!

Griffin and Tyson met at the cidery when Tyson first moved to Armstrong.  They immediately hit it off and he was Tyson's first buddy he met in his new town.  Griffin is one of the sassiest but most caring guys you will ever meet!

Things to Do

Registry

We ask that you dress in cocktail attire - it strikes a balance between formal and casual. As the wedding is located on a farm, we don't want our guests showing up in a flannel and jeans, so please come in your best cocktail attire. We recommend you come prepared with sweaters/jackets as the temperature will cool off in the evening. Also, if you are a gal planning to wear heels, we recommend wearing a thicker block heel or wedges as most of the day will be on grass.
