Meghan and Evan first locked eyes during the Friday night game of the 2016 Cross Borders Curling Bonspiel on the Labour Day Long Weekend. As fate had it, Evan and Meghan’s team played each other in the Saturday morning game. Meghan remembers making Evan laugh and took it as a good sign. They later sat together, and the teams socialized over a post-game beverage and watched the Jays game. As they headed downstairs, Meghan asked Evan if he wanted to go and watch a Jays game sometime. To which Evan replied, “Yea, I think they’ll have it on the TVs at the club tomorrow!”. Completely over his head!

The bonspiel continued the next day, and Evan and his family team won the A-Event! Meghan thought it would be kind to repay the gesture of buying drinks for the winning team, but as they came upstairs and Meghan was trying to pay her tab, a shot of whisky arrived in front of her. Not one to be rude and turn it down, she took it like a champ. However, that meant she was staying put. Several drinks later, it was time to go downtown for dinner. Evan and Meghan walked on their own and couldn’t stop talking. They hit it off right away! It didn’t take long for either of them to realize how they complimented each other and had the same outlook and vision for what they wanted their lives to become.

In September 2018, Evan moved down to the south to move in with Meghan and Daphne. Even though Evan is allergic to cats, Meghan likes to remind him that the cat came first; let’s be honest, Daphne and Evan are thick as thieves and adore each other (with the help of daily Reactine). Evan, Meghan, and Daphne lived happily ever after.

Meghan and Evan were on their way to Kelowna to stay with Meghan’s Mom before continuing to Kamloops to watch the Scotties (Women’s Canadian Curling Championships). Upon finding an ETA for Kathy, they noticed a different route that went around the other side of Lake Okanagan instead of through Vernon and Kelowna. They figured why not be adventurous and try it out. They were so happy they did; the views were spectacular. About halfway down the road, they saw a perfect pull-off and decided to get out and take a picture of the view. This occurrence was nothing unusual and therefore didn’t alarm Meghan. However, when Evan asked if she wanted her coat, thinking they weren’t planning on staying very long, the thought popped into her head and out just as fast. She thought it would have been a beautiful spot for a proposal, but it was not even possible, so she told herself to enjoy the view and stop thinking about it. So she did. Evan, however, had a different thought. After taking photos and having a nice moment together, he changed their lives forever! The answer to the question: “Yes, a million times, Yes!!”
