Ten years ago, despite growing up in different provinces, our paths crossed in Kimberley.

Adam having been hired on the Cranbrook wildfire base but never having travelled to the area, quickly fell in love with the access to nature, lack of traffic and solid community.

Hannah having visited Kimberley a number of times over Alberta Family Day weekend, found herself without a place to stay in Calgary as her parents relocated first to an RV and then to Kimberley. What was meant to be a place to stay between university semesters, became one of Hannah's most cherished places.

Introduced by mutual friends, we built a solid, 7 years friendship before Adam got up the nerve to ask Hannah out, in her parents driveway, while she was fresh out of quarantine. Flash forward 6 months later, Adam finally got his wish and we went on our first date!

Shortly after that Hannah returned to Scotland to finish her Masters, despite this we talked every day. When Hannah finished her Masters and returned to Kimberley, we continued to date and fall in love. When a kooky labradoodle came into the picture, the three us moved in together and we found ourselves Kootenay married. We figured why not make it legal and got engaged in Hawaii in March 2023.

Come join us in Kimberley to celebrate and see why this is home!
