Once upon a time when Matt and Lindsay were attending the University of Ottawa, fate would have it that they would be in the same place at the same time. One night at the local watering hole a young stud saw the most beautiful girl and proceeded to use the best pick up line he could think of – which was quite the “pick up” line. He asked if he could pick her up and before she could answer he swept her off her feet (literally) and started to dance the night away. The rest is history.

Over the years Niagara Falls has been one of Matt and Lindsay’s favorite places where they have bonded over their love for wine, cheese and more wine. A few things were certain for this once in a lifetime experience; it was going to happen at night in front of the illuminated falls surrounded by Christmas lights and the only thing Lindsay loves more than sparkling lights…fireworks. But most importantly it had to be a surprise. As you may know, Lindsay is extremely hard to surprise. To avoid any suspicion Brandi was pulled into the mix. She convinced Lindsay that she won a weekend winery tour getaway to Niagara Falls. With an Oscar worthy performance, Brandi cancelled last-minute and Lindsay was left to bring Matt on this adventure. After a day of food and wine pairings at many wineries the weather turned and started to torrential downpour. Matt still insisted that they take a walk down by the falls to watch the fireworks. Surrounded by twinkling lights, they made their own fireworks when Matt got down on one knee and asked Lindsay to marry him.
