Our Story

First comes challah, then comes marriage!

We met in late summer 2021. For our first date, Dakota baked fresh challah, and we enjoyed a picnic while watching the sunset in the arboretum. By the end of the evening, we’d decided to meet again the next day—and pretty much every day after that! Since then, we’ve built our relationship on a foundation of love, patience, joy, shared values, and deep respect for one another. Three years later, we’ve moved from Guelph to Kingston and back again, growing our little family with several rescue animals along the way. We’re overjoyed to share this special simcha (joyous occasion) with our family and friends, whose support means the world to us.
