After getting engaged in 2021, this couple knew that the groom’s family’s 100-acre property and restored barn in Collingwood was the perfect location for their wedding
Inside a romantic rustic-chic celebration in a 150-year-old restored barnAlex Bergquist-Terplawy, an inventory manager at Nike Canada, spin instructor and co-founder of vegan seafood company Seed to Surf, and Ryan Klein, president of Sapsucker, a sparkling water company, met at a spin class Alex was teaching in 2017. After a few dates, they decided to go their separate ways. But, after two years of friendship—and persistence on Ryan’s part—they got back together, this time for good.
Neither of us are big romantics, but I was still super nervous. The second we arrived, I got down on one knee, opened the ring box and proposed. To keep it a surprise, I couldn’t bring Alex’s new bike with me to PEC, so I had folded up a piece of paper with a photo of the bike inside the ring box. When I opened the box, Alex ignored the ring, opened the piece of paper and said, “Oh my god, is that a new bike?!” The ring was appreciated shortly afterward—at least that’s what I tell myself.
On the morning of the wedding, we got ready in the farmhouse. Ryan and his groomsmen got ready at one end of the house, and my girlfriends and I got ready at the other end. Even though we were separated, we still got to share the same energy and excitement, which was special. One of my favourite parts of the day was after our first look, when the wedding party and our families gathered in the kitchen and we made Aperol spritzes and hung out before our guests started arriving.
that we found around the edge of the property. My uncle, Garth, officiated our vow exchange, and my aunt foraged every bouquet on the tables. Alex’s dad played traditional Jewish music on his accordion during cocktail hour. We also had an incredible hora in the field outside of the barn.
