Jacob made the move from Toronto to Ottawa to pursue his education, excited for a fresh chapter in a new city. Meanwhile, Alexandra was also living in Ottawa, enjoying life and open to the possibilities of meeting someone special. As fate would have it, their paths crossed on Bumble, the dating app where women make the first move.

True to the app’s spirit, it was Alexandra who took the leap and sent the first message. That one message sparked a connection that grew stronger with every conversation, date, and shared laugh. From late-night chats to weekend adventures exploring the city, their bond deepened naturally and meaningfully.

A year later, surrounded by love and countless memories, they got engaged — a beautiful milestone marking the beginning of their next adventure together.
