Our Wedding

Craig and Tegan first met back in 2008 when they were neighbors, but life took them down different paths. It wasn’t until 11 years later that they reconnected through Facebook. Craig reached out and invited Tegan on a date—thoughtfully planning a trip to the Space Centre, knowing how much she loves everything about space. From that day forward, they were inseparable—talking and texting constantly, and falling asleep on FaceTime together every night.After a few more unforgettable dates, they knew they couldn’t be apart. Within weeks, they made the exciting decision to move in together, with Craig already making plans to create a loving home for Tegan’s children. A few months later, during a sunny getaway in Majorca, Craig got down on one knee and proposed. Exactly one year after their first date, they welcomed their first child together. And now, they’re ready to begin the next chapter of their beautiful journey—together forever.
