During a period of immense social isolation, 2021, the irony is not lost on us that we both met our forever person. At a small CrossFit gym, we both noticed one another, and in true millennial fashion, Jordan messaged Madeline on Instagram. Conversations led to dates, dates led to a relationship, a relationship led to creating a home, as it goes.

Both having seemingly opposite upbringings, Jordan growing up in St. Jacobs and Madeline in Toronto, it would be difficult to initially see the commonalities shared between us; however, through our time together we’ve discovered our love and enjoyment of exercise, fishing trips, wine, games of all kind, competition, trail walks, coffee shops, crosswords, and our dearest pets Phoebe and Chester. We even discovered, growing up we would request the same homemade birthday cake every year!

With all of our similarities it is important to have balance. Jordan can say he does go to the mall for more than he used to, while Madeline can say she has been to enough Big Wreck concerts for a lifetime! We love each other’s differences, idiosyncrasies, things that make each other who we fully are.

Cultivating our love over the last few years has been an experience filled with tremendous happiness, gratitude, and growth for us both . We cannot wait to celebrate our love for each other with those closest to us.
