Our story began on February 13th, 2022...

Adam's version:

It all started during a pandemic of all things. We met online and after many reschedules we finally set the date. I'm the smart man that decided our first date should be the day before Valentine's Day. But the date was set, Coffee Culture at 2 pm. I'll never forget watching this cute girl try to open multiple doors before finally finding the right one, it was Haley, I knew it was Haley and couldn't stop smiling. We talked for hours and hours until we realized she had to go to work. I've never been able to talk to anyone so easily and effortlessly before, we connected so well. We went on date after date, laughing, smiling and enjoying every moment together. I knew pretty early on she was the one, but falling in love was gradual, effortless, and quick all at the same time.

We traveled together, managing not to fight after two red-eye flights and foreign languages, so I knew we would stand the test of time. Since that first day we've been there for each other through all the ups and downs, and it's only made my love grow stronger. So strong, that I proposed way earlier than expected because I couldn't wait any longer. I had it all planned out, praying the weather would cooperate and it did. We went for a picnic at a park that held a special meaning to us and the rest is history...

Haley's version:

Adam and I met on the dating app, Bumble. We were keen on seeing each other in person, but at the time, COVID was running rampant and our date had to be pushed back until regulations were lifted. Our first date was at a cafe called Coffee Culture. This date will forever hold a special place in my heart, and not only because it was our first date spot, but because of what happened before our date began; when I tried to open not one, not two, but three doors before I found the correct entrance to the cafe. All the while, Adam watched from inside the all glass cafe, amused by my attempts to find the correct door. However, my fumbling of the doors worked as the perfect ice-breaker!

From that day on, Adam and I quickly became inseparable and we enjoyed many milestones and experiences together such as career changes, graduation, and day trips. During our time together, we also bonded over our shared humour, our similar values, and more.

On May 4th, 2024 at Presqu'ile Provincial Park, Adam got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. He successfully surprised me by proposing at our first picnic spot where we had visited 2 years prior. It was a dream come true and a moment I will never forget and cherish forever and always.
