Back in 2014, Josh was on his way back in from lunch break while Sammi was coming down the staircase at Holy Cross Secondary School. They locked eyes and immediately Sammi got giggly and blushy and Josh was a smooth talking, kind man. Sammi knew then that one day that would be the man she was going to marry. The connection they had was strong. Years past and they had grown up immensely learning powerful life lessons from their surroundings. They officially started dating in 2020 and the rest is a beautiful history…

Josh & Sammi had gone away on a week vacation to Cancún Mexico. After many adventures in Canada like Montreal, Toronto, Niagara Falls, an 11 day trip across the East Coast and many many more, the two decided it was time to go on a real vacation down south.
They spent the week in Mexico walking down to the strip to local businesses, taking a ferry over to the island and exploring the entire thing (Isla Mujeres) and going Scuba Diving even though Sammi had never been so Josh acted as Sammi’s rock throughout the entire experience.
On their last night of their beautiful trip Josh had suggested a walk down to the beach, he spoke about doing a walk at sunrise or sunset the entire week like his mother and him used to do when he was a kid but it was always cloudy, until that evening. They both dressed up and wore purple (Sammi’s Grandma who is no longer with us favourite colour) to go to dinner, they both hadn’t planned it, it just worked out perfectly. They walked along the beach with the palm trees swaying, the smell of the fresh ocean air and the sunset was beyond glowing with gorgeous rays of yellow, orange and pink reflected off the Caribbean ocean. They spoke to each other about how grateful they were to have each other and how perfect their lives were together and how they both knew they had found the person they both wanted to be with the rest of their lives while holding hands walking down the beach. Josh suggested to Sammi to pick a place to walk too, Sammi chose a rocky cliff overlooking the wonderful view (little did she know he had already chose that spot as well). They walked up together and Sammi enjoying taking pictures of the sunset, large sea birds and the ocean waves was distracted, Josh saw this as the perfect opportunity, he got down on one knee and waited for her to turn around, a few seconds later she turned and was beyond excited. He kept his question short and simple but most importantly beautiful. “Sammi McRae, I love you so much, I want to be with you the rest of our lives, will you marry me?”. Sammi barely let him finish speaking before she shouted “yes, yes, of course I will!”. The people on the beach screamed out of excited for them and they both cried hugging and kissing each other knowing they just made the best decision they had ever made.

Once we are married we would love the opportunity to have a honey moon as we absolutely love travel and experiencing new things.

In lieu of gifts, a small contribution towards our honeymoon fund would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your support!
