Our Wedding

Brian and Amanda first met at Ranchman's Cookhouse and Dancehall, Calgary's Iconic western bar. While Amanda and her friend Susi were waiting in line for a drink, Brian approached Amanda and said, "You have the most beautiful eyes," then turned to Susi and said, "Yours are nice too," but then went back to Amanda about her eyes. Susi asked if this actually worked, and apparently, it did that night. While leaving some parts out of the night, this is the night the nickname "Boots" started for Amanda. Thanks, Jared. Since the meeting, we have travelled to many places and look forward to each adventure every year. During our trip in 2022 to Croatia, Brian proposed in Zadar (not expected), which was a nice end to our time in Croatia after this trip was postponed in 2020. We are looking forward to all the new experiences and adventures to come our way

Our Story

Obviously, I have known Mindy since, well…she was born. Mindy is
my youngest sister and the mother to my beautiful nieces. If you think I’m
crazy…you might wait to see us together (JK). Home base is Belleville, ON.

Clarinda and I met in the Tourism and Travel program at Loyalist
College. We have been friends ever since and still love to travel together when we can. We even spent time living in New Brunswick together definitely shot glass checkers were involved back then. Home base is Calgary, AB.

Renata and I met while working at Walt Disney World in 2006. After the
the program we reconnected, and it’s been magic ever since. “DJ. Snake – Turn down what” is just one of our memories that we still laugh about today. I don’t think she will ever lose the video so that we can watch and reminisce throughout the
years…and Watershed – the Hill was slippery by the way ;) Home base is Kelowna,
BC.

Renata

Sheridan and I also met working at Walt Disney World in
2006…well, we started the program in December 2005. Hmmm…little tidbit – we went on a Backstreet Boys cruise together – Clayton did not join us but said we could go ourselves. Home base is Airdrie, AB.

Sheridan

Amy and I met working in the travel services department for Suncor in
2012. We have had many amazing nights growing our friendship and sharing the love of country music…. plus, wine, blue pants, and a washing machine (just one of our stories). Home base is Calgary, AB.

Cristina and I met while working in Kananaskis in 2009. We had
many nights walking through the bush in -40 to go to woody’s in open-toe heels
and short BEBE dresses. Most recently I was honoured that Cristina and Pete asked me to be the godmother of their precious baby boy Jacob. Home base is
Cochrane, AB.

Cristina

Susi and I also met while working in Kananaskis in 2009. Susi & Claudia
(BM) were my roommates when I arrived. We also bonded over sharing the same birthday. Remember that trip to Saskatoon…. Home base is Calgary, AB.

Susi

Not shocking now but Claudia and I worked in Kananaskis and
became roommates. Claudia also loves to travel, and we had a blast in Cuba (both times).   Many fun memories.  Home base is Calgary, AB.

Claudia

Shaun and I met on December 3 1987. If you don't know him this is my brother and one of my best friends (I only have 4 more I promise)

Shaun 

Like Steve ill keep this short and sweet. Im pretty sure he wouldn't allow me to marry Amanda if we hadn't bonded over shwarma.

Steve

Haroon is a super genuine person who will always call me out on my BS the number of times he has told me to get better fitting pants far surpasses my own mother.

Haroon

Ian and i became friends through Amanda.  He likes the Toronto Maple Leafs which is why I think we get along. Hes always rooting for the underdog (which looking at 
Amanda we all know is me)

Chris and i met while working at Mcdonalds at the young age of 16, chris quickly became a great friend and someone I can confide in. His proverbial slips of the tongue only make him that more charismatic.
