Once upon a time, in August 2021, Adriana and Michael matched on a dating app (Hinge). It was love at first swipe! While the two hit it off, Michael was living in the U.S.A. for work at the time, so he did not set up a date with Adriana quite yet...

Fast forward to December 2021. Michael was now living back in Toronto full-time. Adriana was on the couch watching Netflix on a Friday night, when she received a new message from Michael on Hinge: "How's my favourite lawyer doing?", he asked. Before long, Michael had made a reservation for them at COC (Coffee Oysters Champagne) the following Tuesday night.

On the big night of their first date, Michael asked the waitress for a “champagne tour", so the pair headed downstairs to check out the bar’s exclusive speakeasy. Michael and Adriana spent the night sipping on "mystery" champagne and exchanging their life stories. They couldn't believe how much they had in common, and how easy their chemistry and conversation was. Little did they know, that was the beginning of their love story.

Fast forward to September 9, 2023. By this time, Michael and Adriana had moved in together. They had travelled together to Turks and Caicos (beach vibes!), Indiana U.S.A. (Notre Dame Football game - Fighting Irish!), and Banff, Alberta (believe it or not they can hike!). This time, they were in Santorini, Greece enjoying the adventure of a lifetime. At sunset at a winery overlooking the Santorini caldera, Michael got down on one knee, and asked Adriana to be his wife. It was the easiest yes of her life!

Fast forward to now - Michael and Adriana cannot wait to celebrate their love with you on their wedding day at Queen's Landing in Niagara-on-the-Lake. We couldn't imagine our special day without you!
