Like many modern love stories, ours began with a swipe... and a stellar Bumble profile.

It was the summer of 2020, where we were both scrolling through dating profiles, hoping to find a good match- or at least someone who knew the difference between "there", "their", and "they're". But this wasn't just any match; it was THE match. After some witty banter, we quickly realized our shared love for Harry Potter, and Brian asked Courtney on a date.

Our first date was at the Forks where Courtney arrived early and Brian was fashionably late. The conversation flowed, the jokes were solid, and we spent the evening laughing together. Brian ended the date by complimenting Courtney on how cute she was and promised another date soon.

We quickly went from "Are we dating?" to "COVID restrictions are back, will you be my designated household visitor?". We've traveled to new places and shared some of our favorite moments, like putting a lock on the love lock statue in Vancouver. and snorkeling in Turks and Caicos.

We eventually moved into our first house and became first time homeowners! We learned so much about yard work, furnace maintenance, and became experts on building IKEA furniture (ask us about the 6 bookcases we built in an evening). It was during these moments that we truly learned the beauty of experiencing life side by side.

After countless cherished memories, Brian knew it was time to take the next step. He’d been holding onto a ring for what felt like forever, waiting for the perfect moment. On July 3, 2023, he surprised Courtney at the Wishing Well Garden at Clear Lake. When he dropped to one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?", Courtney was completely stunned. The moment was filled with love, smiles, and, of course, excited screams from Courtney.

Which brings us to now. Ready to throw the biggest party of our lives with all of our favourite people together in one room. We can't wait to see you all there as we say "I do" and embark on our next adventure together.

With love,

Courtney and Brian
