Our Wedding

Our Story/Notre Histoire

Our story starts in the spring of 2011. You always hear some people say they fell in love at first sight. Well we couldn't even remember each other's names the first few times we met! Eventually we started to get it right and everything just "clicked". Friendship throughout the warm summer and cool fall eventually turned into love by the time snow started hitting the ground and the rest is history! Throughout the years we had many adventures and memorable times together. Then three years later, we took a big leap forward in our relationship and bought our first house together in August 2014. A year later we added to our little family by bringing home our furry little man (dog) Zorro. We finally had everything we could ask for, all that was missing was for David to put a ring on it! So in August of 2016, we travelled to Spain to visit where David had spent his summers growing up. It was such a wonderful trip in an amazing part of the world! On the last day of our trip, we went up to the top of the castle in Monforte de Lemos and David finally got the courage to get down on one knee and propose. We loved our trip so much that we decided to have our wedding in the same place the engagement took place, Spain! We have since been impatiently waiting for our big day to arrive. We are thrilled to be having our wedding in Spain and hope you will be able to join us for our celebration! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notre histoire a débuté au printemps 2011. Malgré que vous entendez plusieurs gens dirent qu'ils ont eu le coup de foudre dès leur première rencontre, ce n'était pas le cas pour nous. Nous avions même du mal à se souvenir des noms de chacun! Mais avec le temps et le changement de saisons, notre amitié s'est développée et rendu le temps de la première neige de cette année-là, c'était l'amour! Au courant des années suivantes, nous avons eu plusieurs aventures et moments mémorables ensemble. Enfin, trois ans plus tard, nous avons franchi une grande étape dans notre relation avec l'achat de notre première maison! Peu après, nous avons rajouté un membre à notre famille lorsque nous avons rapporté notre petite boule de poils (chien) Zorro à la maison! Finalement, nous avions tout ce dont nous voulions, il ne manquait que la bague. En août 2016, nous avons voyagé en Espagne afin de visiter l'endroit où David a passé ses étés lors de sa jeunesse. C'était un superbe voyage dans un endroit magnifique! Lors du dernier jour du voyage, nous avons visité le château à Monforte de Lemos. Rendu au sommet du château, David a eu le courage de se mettre à genou afin de demander en mariage Christine. Nous avons tellement aimé notre voyage, que nous avons décidé de se marier dans ce merveilleux endroit! Depuis, nous attendons impatiemment le grand jour. Nous sommes ravis d'avoir nos noces en Espagne et nous espérons que vous serez des nôtres lors du grand jour!
