It feels like our story begins with the little bubbles on a screen, the thrill of waiting for a reply, and the curiosity of what might come next.

But in truth, our story started long before that. It’s about timing, a larger plan, and learning to recognize what’s right in front of us.

Fourteen years ago, we both found ourselves in the same circle of friends, our lives running parallel but rarely intersecting. Occasionally, our paths would cross—fleeting moments where we noticed each other, but the significance of those moments was unclear at the time.

In late 2018 and early 2019, we each experienced something similar in our lives. During this time, we began to connect more often, sharing experiences and offering each other support. What started as sporadic conversations grew into a genuine friendship, built on mutual care and understanding. As we spent more time together, we discovered shared values, dreams, and goals, along with an effortless joy in each other’s company.

Late nights turned into early mornings over tea at Tim Hortons, Symposium, or Coffee Culture. Those conversations, filled with laughter and vulnerability, became the foundation of something deeper. One unforgettable night, we both found ourselves in London after plans with friends fell through. At 2 a.m. in a Tim Hortons parking lot, Grant asked Amy if she wanted to be “inside the circle” with him. Amy’s answer was simple: she already was. That night ended with our first kiss, watched by a group of off-duty officers on their coffee break. From that moment, our journey together began, guided by the belief that timing and fate were leading us toward each other when the moment was right.

Within a few months of dating, life tested us in ways we didn’t expect. We moved in together, Grant said goodbye to his Nana, we welcomed a puppy into our home, and soon after, the world changed with a global pandemic. Through every challenge, we’ve learned that we’re stronger together. We’ve found joy in the big adventures—road trips, new experiences, and unforgettable memories—as well as in the quieter moments of daily life.

Ours is a partnership of encouragement, laughter, and unconditional support. We believe in helping each other grow into the best versions of ourselves. Now, as we step into this next chapter, we’re filled with gratitude for the journey that brought us here. We can’t wait to celebrate this special moment with all of you and continue writing our story together.
