Anyone who knows Juan or Emma will know that they bring passion and commitment to everything that they do, and this is no exception when it comes to their relationship. After 5 years full of love and growth as a couple, they are so excited to enjoy all the adventures that life will bring their way as husband and wife!

Emma first met Juan in November of 2017, on the UVic campus, when Juan was walking a friend back to her dorm. It was the first snowfall of the year, and Emma was at the door of her dorm building looking out as snow fell from the sky. All of a sudden the door opened, and Juan and Emma locked eyes for the first time.

It didn't take long for Emma and Juan to become close friends. Over the next two years they attempted to deny the pull they felt towards each other. Until eventually, on the final day of spring term, 2019, they decided to start dating. From that day forward they were inseparable.

For the next few years Emma and Juan fell in love while finishing their degrees, spending every moment together through the COVID pandemic, and beginning their lives as young professionals. It became clear to Emma that not only did she love Juan, but she knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life loving and growing with him. Emma began to broach the subject of marriage with Juan, not realizing that he had already begun ring shopping with her sister Abby.

In December of 2023, Juan and Emma went on a trip to Curacao where Juan grew up, to spend the holidays with his family. Unbeknownst to Emma, Juan had planned a wonderful New Years celebration at his uncle's home with food and fireworks, and something she had never expected. As the sun was setting over the Spanish waters, Juan asked Emma to take some sunset photos on the pier, and when she turned around, he was down on one knee.
