Luke and Cierra’s love story began way back in 2010. Their paths first crossed in the hallways of Kitsilano secondary. Luke, smitten by Cierra's charm, mustered the courage to ask her out on a date. Twice. Even though she met his heart each time with a big fat NO, he refused to give up for good, and put a pin in the fantasy. Despite the initial setbacks, they remained good friends, sharing laughs and creating memories together.

As time passed, Cierra began to see Luke in a new light. His unconditional kindness and unique charm quickly enthralled her. Since Cierra knew that she had casually led Luke into the dreaded “Friend zone” back when they met, it was now her time to muster some courage. And lucky for US (people at the wedding), he met her with a big fat YES.

Their high school romance blossomed into a beautiful first love, as they navigated the ups and downs of adolescence together. Be it from watching criminal minds with a crate full of kittens, to escorting each other through the riots of 2011.

However, as they matured, they came to the realization that they were still young and had much to explore before committing to a serious relationship. With a heavy heart, Luke made the difficult decision to end their romantic entanglement… never forget…

Despite their romantic detour, Serendipity had other plans. Cierra and Luke remained good friends, bumping into each other often. Even as they globe-trotted separately, fate kept playing its little game of hide-and-seek with their hearts. Each time they crossed paths the thought was in their minds, but the time was never right.

Fast forward to Halloween night in 2019 - the spookiest time of the year and apparently the perfect setting for romantic reunions. Cierra and Luke found themselves locking lips once again, as if the ghosts of relationships past were giving them a nudge... A booo-tiful reunion!

And just like that, Luke decided to make it official, sweeping Cierra off her feet the very next day. They both knew this was the last first date they'd ever have, both texting friends they were going to get married.

A love story that proves sometimes all it takes is a little persistence, a lot of time, and a dash of Halloween magic to find your happily ever after.
