Groomsmen!

STEPHEN

I'm Stephen, I live in Winnipeg where I'm currently in my last year of a bachelor of science degree in physical geography at the University of Winnipeg. I also work part-time as a "travel councilor" for Travel Manitoba's Explore Manitoba Centre at the Forks and I am a demonstrator/marker for an Intro to Earth Science lab. Somehow I met Jordan at university through friends of friends of my girlfriend, Christine. We gradually became friends and band mates. Jordan and I formed We Eat Meat together in 2006 (or was it 05? no I think it was 06) then Chris joined us and invited us to join his band, Not Animals. So, the three of us play in (at least) two bands together, and It's pretty much the best. um, I think that pretty much covers the basics.

ANTHONY

I'm Anthony, I'm an RCMP officer, and I've been posted in a small towncalled Chetwynd for the past 3 1/2 years. My wife's name is Alaina. We were married in 2008. We like to play cribbage, and Alaina wins roughly 59% ofthe games. I became friends with Jordan in 2004 when he moved to Winnipeg and I moved back. He was related to my favourite local family outside my own (the
Perrys) so it was a no-brainer move, and I only very slightly had to barge the scene that he, my little sister and a bunch of other people their age had going on. I value Jordan's friendship because I think he's just a really smart guy. Jordan was the MC at my wedding.

JOSHUA

I'm not much for bio's, Jordan pretty much said it all. I currently live in Victoria with my partner Christine. I pretty much eat, sleep, breath, and dream about skiing and the mountains. When I can't get out I drive those around me crazy by constantly watching ski movies and moping about complaining.

CHRISTOPHER

I've lived in Winnipeg my whole life and had never left Canada until I was about 22. Jordan convinced me to get the heck out of here, so we went to Minneapolis where I had one of the best days of my life (we got to see The Blow and SO much art). I've been making music since high school and have been drawing since before I was in kindergarten. I currently hold down a graphic design job and rock out on the side.

Saint Margaret's Anglican Church

Our ceremony will be held at Saint Margaret's Anglican Church. Saint Margaret's has been a welcoming community to us for several years, and has been a wonderful place for us to grow and join in community. Following are some images of the beautiful building.

Jeanette Showing at Gallery 803- Opening November 29th

Jeanette is showing her (amazing) art at Gallery 803 this winter - just in time for wedding guests from out of town to see her art!

Jeanette will be showing from her latest series that uses imagery from the ancient Lake Agassiz. Lake Agassiz was this huge glacier that used to cover practically all of Manitoba and North Dakota. It slowly melted and left us with big old Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg. Check out more info on the history and geography of Lake Agassiz at the wikipedia page.

Jeanette has etched, screen-printed, hand drawn and gilded to create the new work.

Gallery 803 is at 803 Erin Street, and there is an opening reception from 2PM-6PM on Sunday, November 29th. The show will be up through January.

Clint Enns will also be showing video work at the gallery.

Gifts

We are really honoured that some of our guests might want to give gifts to us to celebrate our marriage and help us start our life together. Thanks!

Registry

We're registered at the Hudson's Bay Company. Click the link to the left, and you can view our registry online, as well as make purchases online. To find our registry, just search for one of our names - Jeanette Johns or Jordan Crosthwaite.

You can also get information about it in-store, at any Bay location.

We are also registered for a few things at Ten Thousand Villages. The process for navigating this registry is much the same as The Bay.

Other Ideas

Please don't feel limited to the registry, though. We are open to your creative gift giving, in whatever form it takes!

Here are some things that might give you some direction if you're looking into how we could use some help:

RONA - Our tool selection is pretty measly. A gift card to RONA could ease us into handy-man and handy-woman marital bliss.

Mountain Equipment Co-op - You might not think that Jeanette and I are out-doorsy, but life in Winnipeg is just so harsh we need all the survival equipment we can get. Gift cards form MEC will keep us outfitted for the near-apocalyptic winters in Winnipeg.

McNally Robinson Booksellers - There's always books!

Colours Art and Framing - Jeanette is an artist!

We also love to collect vinyl records, handmade ceramics, gin, and cute little 'best wishes' cards autographed by you!
