A beautifully styled wedding set at the historic Douglas Lake Ranch.
Their story: Tina Stone grew up on Vancouver Island, a long way from Douglas Lake Ranch. But rodeo and ranch life drew the B.C. girl to the stunning rolling hills, and in 2003, she took a job on the illustrious ranch. Little did she know that\’s where she would find the person she would begin to share her life with 10 years later.
Cameron Jacobs is the son of Stan Jacobs, well-known cow boss of Douglas Lake Ranch. Born in Merritt, British Columbia, and guided by his father, Cameron spent his entire childhood cowboying.
When the two met during the first week of Stone being employed at the ranch, her first reaction was hesitant.
\”I remember thinking, \’Wow, he\’s cute!\’ But being that he was three years younger than me, I held my thoughts to myself. After about a year of being close friends, it wasn\’t too long until he had me convinced that he was worth it!\”
The next eight and a half years took them on some great adventures. They had a stint living in nearby Kelowna; they spent two months in Oklahoma while Cameron attended horseshoeing school; they lived in Alberta, working and making new friends; then ended up back home in Douglas Lake. After that many years and that many miles, Stone knew that Jacobs was what she wanted.
\”Finally, he took me for a picnic lunch at Quilchena Falls and popped the question. Then it all began. I had waited a very long time for this moment, I wasn\’t waiting any longer, so I decided to plan our wedding in four months. He proposed on May 25th and we were married September 14th. There were some crazy times but it all came together . . . and I couldn\’t have asked for a more perfect day.\”
Dress: Bought at Viva Bridal in nearby Kamloops, Tina\’s dress was a beautiful fit and flare with a sweetheart neckline. It was made from a \’romantique\’ colored satin under an ivory lace overlay with a gorgeous matching belt that added a little bling. Perhaps her favorite part was the stunning nine-foot, satin edged vail.
Bridesmaids: Trina\’s ladies wore locally sourced \’rosewood\’ coloured dresses from David\’s Bridal, accented by great boots. Their jewelry was handmade by one of the bridesmaids, adding the perfect personal touch.
Men\’s Attire: Cameron, along with the other guys in the bridal party, sported unwashed Wranglers with ivory shirts and grey vests from Moores Mens Wear. The groom and the best man wore a paisley tie, setting them apart from the others, who wore burgundy. Cameron\’s western inspired jacket was lent to them by a friend for the big day.
Boots: Nothing less than Macie Beans for the bride.
Make-up: Trina enlisted the talents of Sheeradiance Salon, based in Kamloops, for a flawless face.
Cake: The beautiful western-inspired cake was homemade by Courtney Brewer, a young girl was also resides on Douglas Lake Ranch.
Favours: Trina and Cameron\’s favours were little white buckets with a hand written date and names, penned by Trina\’s mother. They were filled with a little candy, and could also be topped off at the candy bar.
Flowers: Only $160 was enough to deck out the wedding with stunning flowers, which included calla lilies and gerbera daisies.
