How we met

First comes school, then comes marriage

We were both living in the same apartment building while I was in pharmacy school and he was in law school. My roommate at the time (no names... Pearl Martis) was talking so loud that I decided to go study in the "media room" of our building. James was in the media room binge watching suits (..not much has changed) and I noticed him frequently peering over. We still argue about who actually made the "first move" but the rest is history.... I knew we'd be bumping into each other again.

The Proposal

Sept 5 2018

We took a trip to Mont Tremblant in Quebec for Labor Day weekend. On our last night he had planned a fancy dinner at a fondue restaurant called La Savoie. Me, being the nosey person I am decided to check all his pockets to make sure he wasn't hiding anything. (I don't do to well with surprises..) Him however, being the smart person he is knew to not have the ring in his pocket and had hid it in his sock. Towards the end of dinner he got on one knee in the middle of the restaurant and proposed! I said YES! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Canada !
