Our Story

As kids we grow up hearing fairy tales involving epic quests and romance, where the main characters eventually share a moment that unites them forever and they live happily ever after. What they don’t tell you is that the epic quest can happen when you least expect it; like in a pet store while making minimum wage. For those of you interested in this modern-day love-story, please read on… Demi and John met in summer of 2015, in their final years of university. Despite living on opposite ends of the city, John and Demi’s paths were destined to cross, and one fateful day they did. John heard of an opening at PetSmart and decided to take the job. During his first shift his manager introduced him to some of his new colleagues, one being Demi. Within minutes of meeting, Demi had put John to work getting him to help her move large boxes and stocking shelves in the pet care department, even though he was supposed to be working as a cashier. John and Demi continued to get to know each other and make small talk when they could. Demi would often come help John on cash when things got busy, a clever ruse to get closer to him, and John started to learn about other departments, so Demi eventually trained him in pet care. Their undeniable connection grew stronger and stronger until one night they were both working late, and Demi offered to help John before she had to go catch her bus. Trying to think of a clever way to repay her, John mentioned he would buy her a coffee for all her help. A few days later, he decided to message her to see if he could take her up on that coffee, but slyly convinced Demi to make it a dinner date instead. The two of them met up after work on October 15th, 2015 marking their first date. Fast forward seven years, and many concerts, trips, sorority events and adopting two fur-children (Winston and Oden), Demi and John are excited to FINALLY tie-the-knot in front of friends and family on June 18th, 2022 at Strathmere.

For all the days along the way
