Every ring begins with a story-and ours began with a long road trip and an unexpected spark. We met at Tongai's university in 2016 through Edwig our mutual friend-just a moment, a quick hello. We stayed in touch over the years, our paths gently weaving in and out of each other's lives. By 2022, miles apart-Rue in Toronto, Tongai in Winnipeg - we began to talk more, and a closeness began to grow. In 2023, fate nudged both of us to Calgary.When Rue decided to make the move, Tongai flew across the country, met her in Toronto, and together they drove 37 hours straight to Calgary. Somewhere on the highway, with shared playlists, late-night gas stops, and the blur of city lights, friendship turned into something more. Sometimes, you just know. A love story that started with a leap of faith (and a 37-hour drive!)-proof that when you feel it in your gut, it's worth taking the chance. Now, that story is sealed in stone.
