Patrick and Jackie met accidentally, at a mutual friends birthday in New York City. Patrick was drawn to Jackie’s childish excitement, confidence, and laughter. Jackie loved that Patrick was goofy, caring, and knew what he wanted. Match made in heaven (nyc) ❤️
We experienced all the excitement of New York together including, but not limited to: Food, Natural History Museum, park days, more food, The Brooklyn Mirage, constant commuting between burrows, subway delays, and the occasional housebroken mouse. Throw in a couple trips to Mexico, Montreal, Martha’s Vineyard, Cartagena, Madison/NYC vists (begining of long distance), and we were golden ✨
After a blissfully unaware and painfully expensive trip to Atlantis, Bahamas we learned of the pandemic. What was meant to be a 3 week trip to Madison after NYC shut down turned into a consecutive 7 months of studio (400 sqft) cohabitation. Not generally recommended, but turned out ok since we still decided to get married 😅. We also packed our things and moved up North.
We made Vancouver our home. After learning of the massive supply chain issues we, barely, furnished our apartment (larger than 400 sqft), ate the freshest seafood, started a weekly market tradition, accumulated more kitchen appliances than necessary, developed a love of Lake Louise, watched every Seinfeld episode, and took a trip to Sri Lanka and Maldives. We’re also making it official-official 💍
