How We Met

They say "Third times the charm" for a reason, and that was just the case with us. Our first encounter was in 2021 when we met on the website Hinge (not sponsored). After a month of talking and getting to know each other, conversation petered out as Brad's father passed away. Four months later we found each other in the same place, still looking for love on Hinge. Conversation was much like the first time, but never amounted to anything as timing wasn't right for either of them. Fast forward to December of 2022, Brad had just won 2 tickets to a Jets game and was trying to figure out how to come to terms with messaging Jasmine on Instagram in hopes of scoring a date. Finding himself short of words, he gave the tickets away.

January of 2023, Jasmine was on vacation in Mexico for a friends wedding and on a hunch, downloaded the dreadful app once again. Within hours, Brad had sent her a "rose" and Jasmine accepted with a reply; "The only reason I keep coming back to this app is to constantly match with you". It's safe to say Brad wasn't taking this time lightly when he boldly asked Jasmine to go on their first date the night of Valentine' s Day. Needless to say, we weren't taking any fourth chances and have been falling more and more in love ever since.

The Proposal

We went to Banff on a ski trip in February 2024 with some of Brad's family. While on the slopes the second day, on the last run, Brad tells Jane (Brads sister in-law) to record him going down a double black diamond while her and Jasmine wait at the bottom. After Brad comes down the run, we were all sitting on the side of the mountain resting when he stands up and asks Jasmine to stand up too. Reluctant to do so, Brad grabs Jasmine's hand and as he pulls her up, drops to one knee and proposes to her. In complete shock, Jasmine's only word for the next 30 seconds was "What???". Everything was Perfect.
