Our Wedding

The year was 2019, and life was normal. Brooke's childhood friend Natalie also knew Peter, who played soccer with her future husband and professional fisherman, decided the two were both funny enough to be able to put up with each other. On August 16th a double date was set up in London and much fun was had over dinner, where Brooke kept her sunglasses on to keep a poker face. Days later a second date took place over an ultra-competitive mini-putt match (where the bride is still proud of her hole-in-one) and the rest is history. Brooke &amp; Peter took a cruise in February of 2020 which gave an understanding that they could live together in close quarters which came in handy in the months that followed. Over the next few years the couple has enjoyed travelling together to the Caribbean, the mountains in Alberta and Colorado, and one quite notable trip up to Alaska (where someone finally asked the question)! When not travelling, the couple spoils their precious cat Skye and visiting Sadie the Lady who unfortunately has too much fur for the groom but is now the emotional support animal (and creator of chaos) for the parents of the bride. They've created a backyard oasis to make never leaving the house a wonderful option. The next chapter in our story begins February 14th and we can't wait to see you there!

Brooke and Samantha have been best friends since childhood, so close their dads even shared teacher, student history. Over the years, they've racked up a lifetime of wild adventures, hilarious mishaps ( mostly Sam's), and Brooke playing the role of emergency responder. Brooke's always been there with a laugh and a plan. Now as co-maid of honour, Sam's bringing the same energy.

Brooke met Shelby on the first day of college by asking if the seat next to her was taken. Shelby said no, and Brooke true to her quiet observer nature, promptly decided not to speak to her. Fast forward to now they've shared countless hilarious car rides, questionable decisions, and a friendship that proves even silent beginnings can lead to loud laughter and memories.

Brooke and Natalie go way back, childhood besties turned teenage life coaches ( well Brooke was the coach Nat was the student). Mostly in the art of surviving high school. They've weathered health scares, awkward phases, and more laughs attacks than they can count.
