Our Wedding

So High School

May 4, 2015: Where it all began! Thomas moved to Port aux Basques and met Jennifer for the first time! Late 2015: Thomas and Markus (Jennifer's brother) started to hang out. Thomas was often very conveniently at Jennifer's house. "Oh, I'm just here to hang out with Markus." Sure, Thomas. Sure 👀 Meanwhile... Jennifer and Olivia (Thomas' sister) became close too! Who knew they were bonding with their future in-laws? (Yes, Olivia knew about the crush.) February 14, 2016: Thomas asked Jennifer to the school dance! 🕺 Big moment. Super cute. Very middle school. February 16, 2016: Thomas stood Jennifer up to the school dance and went to Tim Hortons instead. Yes, seriously. He ditched her for Timbits. 🍩 Sometime in 2017: The era of awkward hallway encounters, Snapchat streaks, and "accidental" run-ins. October 5, 2017: Thomas confessed to Jennifer that he had a crush on her. Took him long enough. Everyone already knew. October 8, 2017: Jennifer officially became Thomas' girlfriend! 👫 October 19, 2017: The first time Thomas and Jennifer said "I love you!" ❤️ October 29, 2017: Thomas and Jennifer's first kiss! 💋 Somewhere in a small town under a porch light. Very cinematic. April 2019: Thomas and Jennifer's first trip together! To Spain and Portugal on a school trip! 🇪🇸🇵🇹 March 2020: The beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Jennifer would sneak out of her house in the middle of the night just to see Thomas 😷 Rebellious? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely. May 2020: Thomas' high school graduation in the midst of the pandemic 🧑‍🎓 No stage, no crowd, just a cap, gown, and a proud girlfriend. September 2020: Thomas left for college! The beginning of 5 long years of long-distance 🥺 Different provinces. Countless FaceTime's. But zero doubts. June 2021: Jennifer's high school graduation! 👩‍🎓 June 2022: Cruise to the Caribbean with the Sheppard's! 🛳️ Jennifer proving she’s part of the family. October 8, 2022: 5 years together! Half a decade of love, laughter, and growing up side by side. 💕 July 22, 2023: Happy wedding day, Peter and Olivia! (p.s. Jennifer caught the bouquet that day and Thomas caught the hint!) 💐 May 2, 2024: Disney World and Caribbean cruise with the Horwood's ✈️ July 28, 2024: Thomas popped the question &amp; the wedding planning began! 💍
