We first crossed paths in middle school, but it wasn’t until high school that we truly connected. We bonded over countless hours in the theater department, sharing our passion for plays, musicals, and show choir. Through mutual friends, we found ourselves spending more and more time together. After a few months of on-and-off conversations, we finally decided to take the plunge and be together. A decade later—filled with college adventures and navigating life through a pandemic—we knew it was time to take the next step. In August 2023, after over a year of planning (thanks to COVID), Thomas proposed on the breathtaking Skyline Trail in Cheticamp, Nova Scotia. It was the perfect mountaintop moment to mark the beginning of our forever.
