Same people, same party - just a new country!

We met at one of THE MOST romantic locations on the campus of UBCO - the EME building (engineering, management and education). All jokes aside, it was an introduction from a mutual friend and a broken ankle that soon led to the term "Hot Teacher". Once Jared learned of his new nickname, he knew he was a shoe in, and as the saying goes...the rest is history.

It was just how Kass had planned it, KIDDING! For once in her life she didn't take control of this one (although she might have tried). As Kass and I were planning on spending Christmas in Kelowna with my family, we had arranged to have an early Christmas with her family. This gave me a great, available opportunity to plan a perfect weekend (she typically has me booked months in advance). On (early) Christmas morning as Kass read her card and deciphered a handful of riddles, she discovered the following day that her and I would take a dog sledding tour through the mountains near Canmore. With some organization between myself and the company, very sweaty palms and some very deep breaths, I was ready for the BIG moment. At the halfway rest over, I suggested to Kass that we have a look at the dog's tags, and as we made our way to the lead dogs Zeus and Storm I managed to utter a few 'beautiful' words. Kass finally reached the tags and after some reluctance to check (she already knew their names) she read "Marry Me?" and turned around to see me on one knee. If you haven't had the opportunity to see the moment captured by our tour guide, please see my facebook.

If you previously accessed our site, you'd know we explained why we were making it official in Utah and why it was important to us. Now we have to try to write something about MILLET ALBERTA?? All jokes aside, we wanted to celebrate all together in a unique location that was local. After Kass contacted about 100+ venues, we went to see the White Wood Barn and fell in love. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
