Our Story

Photos

Christina has known Audrey since she was literally born, as their parents are good friends. Audrey is the big sister Christina never had, and they have countless memories together - particularly from going on vacations to the Gulf Islands with their families. Audrey and Christina love eating way too much together - and once packed four loaves of bread for a weekend trip to Mayne Island... 

Audrey Law

Christina's big little sister. Not only is she taller, but also much more cool and fashionable and sometimes she would give Christina her hand me down clothes. A lot of people will say that either Christina or Kimberly look exactly like their mom, but they also universally agree that they as sisters do not look alike. So who knows how that works!

Jessica and Christina and have friends since the first day of kindergarten, when Jessica ran up to Christina while she was walking to school with her mom and yelled out "Hi I'm Jessica! Let's be friends!"
As they only lived a block away from each other, they spent their childhoods chatting on the phone, playing Final Fantasy and Disney Monopoly, and taking her dog Hugo to the park. 
They have take very different paths since then, but Jessica always makes sure to reach out every once in a while so they catch up. And Christina is so lucky and grateful for that!

Christina and Taylor met Santana through her husband Ben! And they are so glad that they did because Santana is an amazing friend and is great at planning and organizing an awesome time. From Paint Nights to Capture the Flag to camping to One Night Ultimate Werewolf to murder mysteries, Christina and Taylor are so grateful to be part of the fun!  Santana also cooks the most delicious vegan food and is responsible for Christina's insanely huge monthly vegan mac and cheese intake.

Taylor and Christina met Ben through the UBC Science Co-op program. Ben is super cheerful, open to trying new things, crazy fast and athletic, and is always a friendly face. Among many other fun things they've done together, Ben was part of several Dungeons and Dragons campaigns that Taylor DMed (and he always made the wackiest characters!), and he also created a super fun Anti-Bullying League of Legends team that kept the friends connected during the pandemic!

Taylor first met Mike playing soccer in grade-school. Taylor was good at soccer, Mike was great. They reconnected in high school in math class. Mike was good at math, Taylor was great. And thus a lasting friendship was born. They bonded over video games, very long and not very good fantasy books, and subway sandwiches. They moved to Vancouver together and were dorm roommates at UBC where Mike became progressively more nerdy about things like D&D and board games. Mike was the first person he told about dating Christina and getting engaged, and Taylor genuinely forgets if he asked Mike to be his best man or not, it was just an assumed fact.

Michael Gibbard

Taylor first met Olga in graduate school. He was supposed to teach her about chemistry. Instead, she taught him to celebrate Christina, praise everything Christina does, and to go out of his way to make her life fabulous like she deserves. You could, and should, say that Olga was a huge fan of Christina during graduate school and then also got coffee with Taylor. Olga is an amazingly enthusiastic friend, a killer in animal print clothes, and a person who celebrated Taylor and Christina's relationship long before they made it official.

Q + A

UBC is accessible via transit from all over the Lower Mainland, but if you wish to stay overnight at UBC there are plenty of accommodations. Gage Suites is an affordable option that is close to central campus

Christina was introduced to bouldering by her close friend Cliff back in 2021. She slowly managed to convince Taylor to climb with her and now they climb together several times a week! Bouldering has definitely brought Christina and Taylor closer together (even if Taylor sometimes gives unreliable beta).

The Hive Bouldering Gym

Come visit the dog park by Christina and Taylor's place! You are guaranteed to spot many cute little pups playing and chasing (and you might also spot Puppet sitting there watching them).

While there won't be any curling at Hillcrest since it's summertime, you can still do tons of fun things there like going to the gym, the library, or visit the lazy river at the swimming pool!

One of Christina and Taylor's favorite date nights is to play some pool at Commodore Lanes. Christina's pool skills have improved immensely since she started curling. I guess it's the angles.
