La Transfiguration du Seigneur – Saint Augustin Church in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures was the setting for the Sept. 17, 2022, wedding of Myriam Paquin and Alexandre Gallant.

The bride is the daughter of Marie Coyea and Raynald Paquin of Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, and the groom is the son of Marielle Gagnon of Saint-Pamphile and André Gallant of Quebec City.

Christopher Coyea, cousin of the bride, and Alex Fleuriau Chateau sang in duet, and were accompanied by Eric Vachon on the organ, violinists Pierre Bégin and France Marcotte and cellist Emmanuel Bégin.

Readers were Hélène Florence Paquin, matron of honour and sister of the bride, and Pier-Antoine Tremblay-Gagnon, cousin of the groom. The bridesmaids included Alisson Morneau, Cindy Ouellet, Gaëlle Paquet and Christine Bergeron.
