Like a perfectly timed tee shot, our paths crossed through a mutual friend who happened to play on both our hockey teams. We met on a blind golf date where Melissa was a bit over par from the night before, and Travis showed up in shorts that were, well, maybe a bit too snug for a full backswing (Melissa approved, of course). But despite the rough start, we found ourselves in the same fairway, trading terrible dad jokes and lining up for a shot at something special.

Our second date was a little less above par – a canoe trip at Big Lake. We quickly discovered we had more in common than just a slap shot and a questionable sense of humour. From craft beers to music, sports to puns, we realized we might just be each other's perfect match.

As our story continues to play out, we’re excited to keep adding birdies, avoiding the hazards, and, most importantly, laughing at each other’s corny jokes for a lifetime.

Here’s to the long drive ahead. Fore-ever starts here. 💙🏒⛳
