Our Story

Photos

Anne made the mistake of getting close to Melyssa early in her time in Fort McMurray - and now she is stuck with her for life

Anne Barbour

Melyssa fell in love with Ana's giant heart and snowman fighting skills in grade school - and there wasn't a chance she would let her go

Ana Robb

Lisa met Melyssa in her Fording River days, as usual brightening the lives of everyone around her. They sealed their fate together by wearing onsies, making bracelets and attending concerts

Lisa Varga

Melyssa and Abbi have a love at first sight story! Melyssa continues to force Abbi to rock climb so that she can "watch out for her" from below

Abbi Perreault 

Though Melyssa's highest maintenance bridesmaid, Jade is no diva but is foolishly quick to agree to insane plans that get them into trouble

Jade Philpott

Cher is just loud enough herself to be able to handle Melyssa's insanity - and is just crazy enough to enjoy it

Cher Richards

Though he is the bane of Melyssas existence, he is the love of Tylers life. The husband's met in a star-crossed lovers story, in which they bonded after finding out they unknowingly shared the same woman

Harley Wright

Poor Cory is the ultimate sacrifice - Melyssa's back-up, forced to doing all the things that Tyler doesn't want to (get your mind out of the gutter, we mean anything that involves going outside). He isn't sure how he signed up for the role, but the couple is grateful he is stuck

Cory Jardine

Set back from the start of life as Tyler's little brother, Trevor has come to realize that it can always get worse... when your big brother falls victum to a crazy lady

Trevor Parsons

Poor Logan is Melyssa's baby brother. Yes, pray for him

Logan Head

Corey is Tyler's cousin, and part of the Trevor and Corey duo. Both seem to aspire to be as much of a gamer nerd as Tyler

Corey Belanger

Dan is a good friend of Tyler's, and has been for a surprisingly long time considering how quickly he is willing to burn down an entire village out of spite. Be cautious when the games come out

Dan Scheers

Prepare&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;roast!&nbsp;Zac&nbsp;considers&nbsp;Melyssa&nbsp;his&nbsp;nemesis,&nbsp;and&nbsp;is&nbsp;so&nbsp;excited&nbsp;to&nbsp;use&nbsp;the&nbsp;microphone&nbsp;to&nbsp;say&nbsp;horrible&nbsp;things&nbsp;about&nbsp;her&nbsp;all&nbsp;night.&nbsp;It's&nbsp;fine,&nbsp;because&nbsp;Melyssa&nbsp;and&nbsp;Anne&nbsp;will&nbsp;always&nbsp;go&nbsp;to&nbsp;Rimby&nbsp;and&nbsp;do&nbsp;a&nbsp;hostile&nbsp;take&nbsp;over&nbsp;of&nbsp;his&nbsp;house
