Our Wedding

Our story began all the way back in high school, in 2006. We ran in the same circles, shared many of the same friends, and spent a lot of time together in those early years. Just after high school Kristina moved to Vancouver for a few years. But fate has a way of bringing people back together. When she returned home to Edmonton in 2014, we reconnected and went out for a “just-for-old-times’ sake” date — and that date changed everything. From that moment on, it felt like the start of something we both knew was meant to be. In 2016, we moved into our first apartment together, and soon after, our little family grew with the addition of our first puppy, Bailey. Countless camping trips and cozy nights in with our energetic pup later, we decided to trade apartment life for a duplex with a large yard — a proper playground for Bailey. Life, as it sometimes does, led us down separate paths in 2018. It was a difficult chapter, but it gave us the space to grow — and during that time, Darin welcomed our second dog, Cooper, into the family. After a year apart, we realized something very simple and very true: our love had never left. We found our way back to each other, and picked up right where we left off — stronger, wiser, and more certain than ever. In 2021, we bought our first home together, bringing Bailey and Cooper along to make it complete. We were lucky enough to move very close to our best friends, which made it all the more special. Then in August 2024, on a trip to Los Angeles, Darin got down on one knee on a beach at Crystal Cove State Park and asked the question that would start our next chapter.Now, here we are — ready to say “I do.” Through all the years, changes, challenges, and growth, one thing has always remained: our love. We both believe the best things in life are worth waiting for — and we couldn’t be more excited to spend forever together.

Danielle Kemp - Maid of Honour Kristina and Danielle have been best friends for 24 years and counting!&nbsp;They first met in grade 7 when Danielle offered to help Kristina with the lock on her locker, and they have been inseparable since.&nbsp; Even though at the start of their 20's Kristina moved to Vancouver and Danielle moved to Calgary, the friendship has remained strong.&nbsp;Through the awkward teenage years, to the party bar days, relationships and breakups, weddings and kids, the friendship has never dwindled.&nbsp; They have grown up together and been there for each other for all of life's biggest moments.&nbsp;They are more like sisters and there is no one else who could stand beside her on this special day.&nbsp;

Alex Dollman - Best Man The boys met at&nbsp;one of Darin’s’ infamous house parties in late 2007 . Over the years, the friendship deepened—sharing holidays, laughter, and everyday moments. Being neighbors at the duplex only brought them closer, and when COVID hit, they made the best of it: creating fence gates between yards, driveway beers, and garage hang outs became their new normal. They camped, traveled, parasailed, golfed, and tackled just about any project they could find—especially if it involved power tools or working outdoors. No matter the task or the season, they showed up for each other. Through sports, projects, and pandemic days, this friendship grew steady and strong—rooted in fun, loyalty, and a whole lot of time spent side by side.
