Our Wedding

It all started back in 2013 at Menno Simons Christian School. Annah was in grade 5, Liam in grade 6 — her brother’s good friend. She thought he was tall, shy, and cute; he thought she was outgoing… maybe even a little crazy.By junior high, Annah’s crush was impossible to hide. On a school trip to Quebec, she followed Liam around like a puppy — teasing him, pestering him, and doing all the little things that count as “flirting” when you’re twelve. What Annah didn’t know at the time was that Liam had a crush on her, too. The two of them were even in school plays together — and once, Annah was so distracted by watching Liam walk offstage that she completely missed her cue. Their crushes carried on all through junior high, but once Liam left Menno, they gradually lost touch — until the summer Annah graduated grade 9, when their paths crossed again and they started talking.That November in 2017, Liam got dressed up, went to Annah’s dad, and asked for his blessing to date her. Not long after, Annah went to watch Liam play in a volleyball game at his school. Afterwards, the two went out for ice cream, where Liam officially asked her to be his girlfriend. Their first date was a Flames game — Annah was so nervous she couldn’t even bring herself to take a picture with him. They started their relationship young, growing together through high school and countless adventures — from Mexico mission trips (always separated in the vans for being “the couple”) to everyday moments that made them laugh until their stomachs hurt. And later, as they were writing this story together, Liam confessed that after that very first date, he actually said out loud to himself that he was going to marry Annah someday.After three and a half years, life pulled them in different directions — Annah dove into nursing, while Liam traveled the world and built his career as a golf pro. For four years, they weren’t together, but they never fully stopped thinking about one another.Then, in January 2024, everything shifted. Annah all of the sudden couldn’t get Liam out of her head. She and Jo spent countless nights after youth talking about him, wondering what it all meant. At the same time, half a world away in Australia, Liam realized on his trip that Annah was the one for him. He called her out of the blue, asked her out, and the spark was instant. By September, they were officially together again and both knew without a doubt — this was it.After almost a year of dating, In August 2025, Liam planned the perfect proposal at Christina Lake. What Annah thought was a family birthday dinner turned into the biggest surprise of her life. After dinner, they went to the beach “for family photos.” When the others slipped away (actually hiding in the bushes), Liam read Annah a heartfelt letter as the sun set, pulled out a ring, and asked her to marry him. She said yes, of course — and was surprised yet again when Liam’s family had driven out to the lake to celebrate with them. In that moment, Liam’s words from years earlier came full circle: from their very first date, he had known he was going to marry Annah.Now, they’re most excited simply to do life together: travel, adventure, and soak up every little moment side by side.

Our Story

Photos

Jonny and Liam go way back to grade one at John Costello, where they first bonded over hockey. After a few years apart at different schools, they reconnected in grade ten at Bishop Carroll — and it felt like no time had passed. Loyal, the life of every party, and always someone you can count on, Jonny has been one of Liam’s closest friends ever since… and maybe a future cousin-in-law if he ever proposes to Liam’s cousin Grace.

Jonny Buck

Though technically Annah’s second cousin, they’ve always felt more like sisters. Growing up, they spent so much time together that she and Annah practically share one brain. Even now, despite the distance between Edmonton and Calgary, they make the drive as often as they can just to see each other. Brooke is warm, genuine, beautiful, and easy to love. And Annah couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without her by her side. 

Brooke Rowswell

The oldest of the Vos brothers, Jonah has always been both a role model and one of Liam’s closest friends. Even though they haven’t lived in the same city for more than a few months over the past decade, they’ve stayed close through lots of phone calls, visits, and adventures over the years.

Jonah Vos

Though there’s a bit of an age gap, being cousins hasn’t stopped them from becoming close friends — sharing laughs, memories, and their current adventure?

Her energy and humor make every visit unforgettable, and Annah is so glad to have her here to celebrate this special day.

Isabel Vos

Isaiah Berstad

Annah's new sister-in-law from Manitoba, she somehow managed to become the bride’s friend first… then sneakily became family through her brother.

She brings the laughs, the energy, and the kind of friendship that feels effortless. 

Jayce Wiebe

Matt and Liam have been inseparable since meeting at John Costello. They went to the same schools, played on the same teams, and even travelled the world together.

Matt Pearce

An amazing friend from nursing-school who’s always been there for Annah. Whether it’s a late-night cramming session or just a much needed movie night.

Tegan Koyich

Annah’s younger brother Ben has felt like family day one. He’s been a great friend and brother through every stage of life. Ben has a kind heart, is always down for anything, and if you’re lucky enough to know him well, you get to see his incredible sense of humour. Liam will deny it, but rumour has it that one of his biggest reasons for marrying Annah was to gain three incredible brothers — Isaiah, Ben, and Eli.

Ben Berstad

Another friend from nursing school and one of Annah’s closest people, she’s the bride's ride or die, whether they’re studying, going out, or just trying to survive another clinical.

Annah’s youngest brother — and Liam’s self-proclaimed favourite Berstad — Eli is full of humour, heart, and quick wit.
