Our Wedding

Kyle and Darlene met on Bumble.&nbsp;Sometimes you must be stung to find your honey – Kyle, of course. Met during lockdown, while all the signs in the world were telling us to stay home in our own bubble, we created our own.&nbsp;After meeting on a dating site, the conversation flowed, and we realized we had more things in common.&nbsp;Kyle had just moved to Innisfil and Darlene was living in Newmarket.&nbsp;With the lockdown in place, going out on dates to your typical movies or restaurant was not an option.&nbsp;Instead, we had to create a small ‘bubble’ and hung out in the backyard with Scott and Rita.&nbsp;Going on dates with your partner’s parents was a little unorthodox, but it honestly couldn’t have been better.&nbsp;They got home made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and BBQ dinners, with unlimited Crown Royal.&nbsp;This was the best lockdown ever.&nbsp;&nbsp;When the world was meant to shut down, we beat the odds and knew it was just the beginning of amazing memories just waiting for us.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; About the proposal: this was not your traditional ‘ask her dad for approval’.&nbsp;If you know Karl, you know.&nbsp;Kyle also couldn’t ask Darlene’s mom, or the secret would be out even if she tried to be discreet.&nbsp;Instead, the approval from the siblings was all he needed.&nbsp; During our trip to Cuba in 2024, Kyle had planned a proposal to also include Logan.&nbsp;The entire flight, airport inspections, check in, up to the proposal had to be detailed and strategic.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just hours after landing in Cuba, they all just so happened to want to see the beach.&nbsp;Darlene, being in her own world, did not catch any clues or signs. The moment happened - Kyle attempted to do a speech on one knee but stumbled from nervousness and excitement.&nbsp;We all know, Kyle is not one to be speechless.&nbsp;Of course, after the ‘yes’, there was a big relief (for Kyle), and he had his moment of speeches throughout the rest of the vacation. Fast forward, they could not be happier – their families love each other, Kyle and his future brothers-in-laws bicker like they’ve known each other forever. Darlene absolutely adores his nephews, Dylan, Brandon, and Mason.&nbsp;Our dogs bonded, added a cat into the mix, and moved in together.&nbsp;The beautiful chaos has just begun, and they are excited to celebrate with their close friends and family.&nbsp;This will be one celebration to remember... or not, but at least there will be photos to follow to piece together this fabulous day!
