How we met

Right swipe, right person, right time

Like many modern love stories, theirs began with a swipe. It was Sophia’s first year of university and Marc’s last when they both happened to swipe right on Tinder — a simple decision that would change everything. Just three weeks after Sophia moved to Edmonton, they met in person for the first time. What was supposed to be a casual meet-up turned into a six-hour conversation. The chemistry was instant and effortless. They connected over a shared sense of humor, similar values, and a deep love for their families. From the start, it just felt easy — like they had known each other forever. Before the night ended, Marc asked if Sophia wanted to see him again the next day. Without hesitation, she said yes. As soon as she got back to her dorm, she called her sister and said, “something about this guy is different.” Since that night, they've spent nearly every day together — growing side by side, supporting each other, and building a life full of love, and laughter. Now, they’re so excited to begin the next chapter — as husband and wife — surrounded by the people they love most.
