We first laid eyes upon each other on our first day of high school, in our very first class - Grade 9 English. But it would be 8 more years, in our 4th year at Brock University, until we began dating. After our friend groups merged throughout university, we eventually went from close friends to a couple - and the rest is history. In the 9+ years since, we have added 2 cats (Dexter and Arya) and recently a Texas Heeler puppy (Fletcher) to our family. We purchased a home together in Port Colborne in 2017 and renovated it with the help of friends and family. We work together each day at Nauta Home Designs and collaborated together on Emily's woodworking business, Forest Avenue Fixtures, for the 3 years it was in operation. We enjoy hiking and recently took an amazing trip to Alberta and BC during which we hiked about 100KM up various mountains together. We have been all over Ontario, Out East, through various parts of NY and Pen States, and also to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State where we got engaged on Rialto Beach in 2019! We love National Parks and some of the next ones on our list are Pacific Rim on Vancouver Island, Zion in Utah, and Yellowstone. We are looking forward to our next adventure which will be much more relaxed; our Honeymoon in Mexico following the wedding. We also enjoy cooking together, trying new restaurants, or simply relaxing and enjoying movies or TV. We are so excited to finally be getting married after the difficult times that everyone has faced due to covid-19. We sincerely hope that the third time is the charm and look forward to seeing everyone!
