We first matched on OkCupid in April 2019—thankfully, she saw past my interesting picture choices and swiped right. Who needs the latest dating app when you have a 98% match score! Our first date was at the Aulde Dubliner in Ottawa, where a live band played so loudly we could barely hear each other. But when the vibe is right, words hardly matter. From that point on, everything started to fall into place. One bright spot of the pandemic was that it led us to move in together, and we’ve never looked back! From a six-month trip through Europe to moving to Toronto, each adventure brought us closer and filled our hearts with love and laughter. After five wonderful years together, I proposed, and we couldn’t be more excited for what the future holds!
