Our Wedding

It’s a classic millennial tale… Kimberly and Greg met on the ol' dating apps. After eons of swiping, they landed on each other and a match was made. Greg asked Kimberly out to a local Italian restaurant, but what he didn’t know at the time was that it happened to be her favourite restaurant in the city. Off to a great start, they went on their first date. They immediately hit it off, and even though Kimberly was so nervous that she barely touched her pasta, they both agreed it was truly the best date they’ve ever been on. Neither of them wanted the evening to end, so they wandered over to Cold Garden brewery for a drink. On the walk over, Greg reached for Kimberly’s hand — a small gesture that made her feel butterflies but also completely at ease. They shared many stories and belly laughs, and by the end of the night, they both knew they absolutely wanted to see each other again. For their second date, Greg suggested they return to that same brewery — this time to paint Easter eggs. He knew how much Kimberly loved art, and it meant so much that he remembered. Kimberly and Greg have held onto those cherished painted eggs to this day, and have since created so many more beautiful, quirky, and meaningful memories together.

How We Met

Over the last year and a half, Kimberly and Greg have gotten to know each other in all their forms. Greg’s accepted Kimber’s love affair with all things pink and Kimber has powered through watching Lord of the Rings, Twin Peaks, and a few other all-time faves. When Kimberly sold her condo after about half a year of dating, she moved in with Greg into his basement rental where they lived for several months until they ditched the bachelor pad and moved into a townhouse together (much to Kimberly’s relief). With both Kimberly and Greg being so family oriented, it was no surprise that they fit into each other's families seamlessly, and the same can be said for their friend groups. Many adventures have been had, including countless road trips, weddings of family and friends, and convincing Kimberly to go camping (reluctant at first, but now she’s a fan!)

How It’s Going

Our Story

K&G Photos

Jen is my sister-in-law and has been a part of my life since 2017, when she and my brother Connor first got together. They tied the knot in July 2023, but by then she already felt like family for ages. Born and raised in Vernon, BC, Jen now lives in Penticton, where she works as a family doctor (yes, she’s a smart cookie!). She leads an incredibly active lifestyle including road biking, downhill and cross country skiing, volleyball, and dominates every board game we play. I honestly don’t know how she juggles it all, but she does it flawlessly. Jen is humble, genuine, and truly one of the kindest people I know. I’m so lucky to have her as the sister (and dear friend) I always hoped for—and honoured to have her standing beside me as my maid of honour.

Angie and I met several years ago during Stampede through a mutual friend group, and we instantly clicked! Originally from South Africa, she moved to Ontario at a young age before eventually making Calgary her home. There’s truly no one I’d rather play dress-up with, go on spontaneous adventures, or indulge in the filthiest junk food alongside. Angie is one of the kindest, most caring, supportive, and hilarious people I know. She's full of energy, always up for anything, and brings so much joy to anyone who’s lucky enough to know her. I'm so lucky to call her one of my best friends—and even luckier to have her by my side as a bridesmaid on our special day!

Angie Mruk

Lou and I met several years ago through mutual friends, and she’s become such a cherished part of my life ever since. Originally from Argentina, she moved to Winnipeg with her family before eventually settling in Calgary, where she’s called home for many years. Lou is one of the most creative and talented people I know—always diving into new crafts and hobbies. She’s also “mom” to the sweetest pup, Arnold, who brings so much joy on our dog walk outings together (and lets me pretend I have a dog for a little while). More than anything, Lou is one of the most selfless, kind-hearted, and supportive humans I’ve ever met. I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side on our wedding day.

Lou Morand

Keaton has been my best friend since I moved to Calgary when I was seven years old. Him and Mike (see below) knocked on my door the day after my family moved into our house and we went for a bike ride. Twenty four years later I still haven’t managed to get rid of him. Although we’re not a one minute walk away from each other anymore, Keaton’s a “till death do us part” kind of friend. While I could say we’re bound by all of our mutual interests like music and comedy, the reality is we just grew up down the street from each other and always had each other’s backs. Keaton is a real life Samwise Gamgee – the best friend you could ask for. 

Keaton Burke

Mike is my other best friend I met the same time as Keaton (see above), although Mike was about a full two minute walk from my house – unless I cut through Keaton’s backyard. Although separated by an additional minute and by a one year age gap, me Mike and Keaton were a neighborhood trio for many years. Mike has always had a deep love for music – I’ve often thought he says more with his guitar than with his words. Certainly the focal points of the friendship have been music, laughter, and learning to break the rules together. He’s lived in California, Panorama, England, Nelson, and now Comox. He’s also getting married three weeks after me, where I’ll be one of his groomsmen as well. 

Mike Kazimer

My best friend Chris I haven’t known quite as long as the other two – I met him two weeks after moving to Calgary. Additionally, he lived on the other side of the neighborhood, which was a full 5 minute drive. On top of that, Chris moved away to St. Louis when we were in High School. And then he moved back, and then back to St. Louis, and then to Chicago, and then to California, and then to New York. Through it all, we’ve managed to still spend a week or so together every couple of years, giving me an excuse to do long road trips through the US to see my friend. Perhaps the most lively and personable person I’ve met, we’ve had some wild times together and seeing him after a few years always feels like home.
