Who says timing is everything? Alex and Fheirn matched on Hinge just days before Alex left for a two-week army deployment in Saskatchewan. While most would call it bad luck, Alex saw it as a challenge. As soon as he got back, he was determined to meet Fheirn, and after two weeks of what can only be described as world-class convincing, she finally agreed to a walk through Stanley Park in Vancouver—a spot that’s still one of their favorite places to this day! Alex showed up after a long day at work, but any trace of tiredness vanished the moment Fheirn started talking—which, if you know her, is pretty much her default setting. Before they knew it, the sun had set, and hours had flown by without either of them noticing. What started as a simple meet-up turned into something neither of them could ignore—it just felt right. That first meeting was only the beginning of something special. Not long after, fate (or a very minor “flood” that Alex still believes Fheirn had a hand in) brought them together under one roof, where their lives became a whirlwind of fun, shared adventures, laughter, and a bit of chaos—thanks to Roxy. On December 9, 2023, Alex thoughtfully brought Fheirn to their favorite camping spot at Lillooet Lake, the place where so many of their memories had been made. There, he dropped to one knee. After a moment of disbelief and a few “Are you serious?” questions, she said yes—and just like that, the beginning of forever was set in motion.
