How We Met

Swipe to Forever. Third Time’s the Charm

We actually matched three times on Facebook Dating! The first two times, one of us deleted the app. But fate clearly had other plans the third time, everything just clicked. From our first conversation, it felt effortless, like talking to someone we’d known forever. Our first date was filled with laughter, stories, and that unmistakable spark that told us this was something special. Looking back, it’s funny how the universe kept giving us chances to find each other. Now, we’re getting married, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you. Here’s to the best adventure yet!

The Proposal

March 4th, 2025

On our second anniversary, we thought we were simply going to St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica to pray and spend quiet time together and maybe take a photo at a portrait studio afterward. After the Holy Eucharist, Joseph turned to me and said, “Let’s make God the centre of our relationship… In the presence of the Lord, I’m ready to spend the rest of my life with you.” In that peaceful, sacred moment, we said yes, not just to each other, but to a life rooted in faith, love, and grace. Simple, sacred, and perfect. We wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. 💍🤍
