Our story began with a swipe, but it quickly became so much more than that. From the start, there was an ease to being together that made every next step feel natural. What began as dates and weekend adventures soon became a trip to Mexico, a move from Toronto to Hamilton, and a shared life built on creativity, curiosity, and a love of experiencing the world together.
Over the years, we've filled our lives with the things we love most: art, travel, good food, meaningful conversations, and a few ambitious projects. The biggest of those was buying and renovating a vintage RV, which became home for a three-month road trip across North America with our French Bulldog, Saint. Along the way, we got engaged in White Sands, New Mexico, a moment that felt perfectly reflective of the life we've built together: adventurous, intentional, and a little unconventional.
Since then, life hasn't stood still. We've spent the last few years growing together through milestones, challenges, celebrations, and loss, learning that the strongest parts of our relationship are often built in the everyday moments. As we've built a home, pursued our goals, and supported one another through life's changes, we've become even more certain about the future we're creating together.
Now, three years after getting engaged, we're finally gathering our favourite people to celebrate this next chapter. And after everything that's brought us here, it feels exactly like the right time.
