Our Wedding

Adam and Amanda met in the early days of high school 21 years ago. Having recently moved from England to Canada shortly before they met, Adam made a distinct impression on Amanda as the new English kid who wasn't afraid to break the early teen , cool-kid status quo by actually bringing a present to her birthday party that summer. Through high school, their friendship proved to growstronger as they saw each other through all the of teenage ups and downs: the high-spirit abandon of social events, the stresses of misunderstood teachers, peers and exams, and thefiguring out of what was supposed to come next. After graduation Amanda moved out to Kelowna, BC, to try on a new scene. Also looking for a fresh start, it didn’t take Adam long to follow her out west as one of her closest friends. They didn’t stay ‘just friends’ for very long.&nbsp; After 5 years in Kelowna, Adam and Amanda moved back to Ontario in 2012 where they have since continued to grow an incredibly loving and supportive partnership. In June 2019 they welcomed their son Kyle into the world as the first member of their growing family, to be joined by their daughter Ainsley in January 2021. Adam and Amanda have dedicated themselves to the love and parenting of these two wonderful (and boisterous) young beings, and even through the most challenging of times, proved to be unwavering and deeply devoted supports for each other.&nbsp; Adam and Amanda have been set on spending the rest of their lives together for years though Adam’s proposal on October 16 of last year was ultimately experienced by Amanda as the very happiest of surprises with the greatest tears of joy.&nbsp; We so look forward to celebrating our love story and the beginning of the next chapter with you!&nbsp;
