Phil's little sister Nicola met Nina in 2013 and they became roommates a few weeks later. Nina and Nicola were extremely close and this is how Nina met Phil.

Phil and Nina were friends for many years before dating. Things turned into more while Nina was living in Saskatoon and came to visit Nicola. Phil ended up tagging along for the week. They didn't start officially dating until Nina had gone back to Saskatoon, and they spent the first year of their relationship long distance!

We're not the type for big romantic dates, and our engagement was the same. We were sitting at home eating takeout talking about the future, and Phil said "should we just get married?" And the next day we went to pick out an engagement ring together!
