The Beginning

Andi and Graydon first crossed paths in their home town, Hinton Alberta in February 2020. Graydon was in town for a hockey tournament when he had his first impression of Andi at his auntie Mels house. “Auntie Mel, Who is that?!” Described Graydon once he locked eyes for the first time. Although, their story did not begin here. Andi had other plans with one of Graydons teammates and Graydon had found himself a different blonde at the bar. Fast forward 6 months, Andi and Graydon crossed paths again and this time everything aligned in their favors... almost. Andi then played hard to get for 3 months but Graydon didnt give up. Finally, August 2020 Andi and Graydon went on their first date. Boston pizza diner followed by a case of Bud Lights, a farmers field and a set of golf clubs. Little did they know, this was
the first of many dates moving forward.

The Middle


Shortly after their first date, Andi moved to Edmonton where she spent the year living downtown and driving 45 mins, everyday, sometimes twice a day to Leduc to see Graydon and visa versa. Once Andis lease was up at the end of 2021, it was a no brainer that it was time to move in with Graydon in Leduc. Shortly after the move, they welcomed home a little labradoodle puppy, Glen. Their hands were full! For the next year, Graydon and Andi continued to do the things they love together, quadding, camping, traveling, visiting with friends and family, snowboarding, hockey games & golfing! A year later, Graydon and Andi welcomed home another puppy, golden retriever, Angus. Our home was full and hearts were complete.

The Engagement

A few months after welcoming Angus, Graydon popped the big question on a weekend trip away to Jasper Alberta. On their way to Jasper, Graydon and Andi stopped to see Big Andy, Andis dad, in which Graydon was hopping to ask for his blessing but, was unsuccessful. Once arrived to jasper, Andi and Graydon went for walks around town playing tourists. Meanwhile, Graydon was freaking out the whole time because he needed to talk to talk Andy. Finally, he used an excuse to excuse himself before heading to the Fairmont for dinner to call Andy and ask for his blessing. It was go time! Waiting for dinner reservations, Andi and Graydon went for a walk by the lake, where the big question was about to be popped and Andi was completely oblivious. Then it happened, they were standing on a dock overlooking the lake and Graydon went down on one knee and asked Andi for her hand in marriage. But, before he could even speak and ask the big question, Andi was jumping up and down like a child screaming YES. She eventually let Graydon have a few words then with full hearts and happy tears, the couple went inside for a celebratory champagne toast.

The Big Day

After the engagement, for the next year and a half, Andi and Graydon started planning their big day. Engagement photos, parties, vendor searching, food tastings and Graydon nodding and agreeing to everything Andi was saying, the big day is on its way! The couple is so grateful and thankful for the love and support of friends and family along the way and cannot wait to celebrate their love with their favorite people.
