Our Wedding

Like so many modern love stories, ours began… on Hinge. It was the middle of the pandemic, and meeting someone from the internet felt equal parts exciting and terrifying. Especially for Alex, who had never met anyone from a dating site before. But from the very first messages, something felt different. Conversation was easy, natural, and full of laughter, even through a phone screen.Our “first date” wasn’t in a coffee shop or restaurant, it was over FaceTime, with matching Paper Plane cocktails in hand. (Yes, we made the same drink so it would feel like we were together.)When it came time for our first in-person date, Ryan took charge. He picked Alex up and, without revealing the destination drove her straight to Porchetta &amp; Co., because he remembered she’d mentioned wanting to try it. We sat in the car, eating incredible sandwiches, sipping beer, and laughing over the fact that Alex had to pay for dinner through Uber Eats because she was the only one with the app. True romance.From there, the dates kept getting better, but the one that sealed the deal was the night Ryan showed up at 10:30 p.m., after Alex’s closing shift at Shoppers, with a cooler bag full of fresh ingredients. He cooked the most delicious pasta she’d ever had, right there in her kitchen. That’s when she knew: this guy was something special.Food quickly became one of our love languages, whether we’re cooking together, trying new spots, or just talking about our next meal, it’s always been “our thing.”Fast forward to the proposal: Ryan planned a weekend getaway to the charming little town of Paris, Ontario, during their Christmas market (because he knows Alex’s deep love for all things Christmas). After strolling the main street and stopping at a cozy brewery, we found ourselves under a gazebo by the water. Snow was falling, the moment was perfect… and Ryan got down on one knee. Alex’s first words were, “No, no, no, no!” quickly followed by a very big “YES!”And the rest? Well, it’s the story we’re still writing, together.
