Our Wedding

You read that right. While swiping away on Bumble, Skyler was casually scrolling when Rachael joined the activity and Will’s profile popped up. What made it extra memorable? Skyler thinking, “Oh, he’s cute,” and Rachael stating, “hey, that’s my brother.” Without hesitation, she swiped right. IT WAS A MATCH! The very first message from Skyler? A cheeky, “I’m sitting next to your sister right now.” From that moment, the conversation—and the story—began.

Chapter 1: “That’s my brother.”

Their first date was anything but ordinary. Skyler showed up armed with a bucket of popcorn chicken—generously shared—before they headed into Stratford Cinema to watch Endgame. During the most emotional scene, Will couldn’t hold back the tears, making Skyler burst out laughing. But the night didn’t end there. When Skyler started feeling too ill to drive, Will quickly donned his nursing hat and took care of her, proving that beneath the laughs was someone genuinely kind and caring. What started as a movie date turned into a 24-hour adventure, capped off with breakfast at Features the next morning—a perfect glimpse into the generous heart of the man Skyler was falling for.

Chapter 2: Superheroes and Tummy Aches

After the 24-hour first date that neither of them wanted to end, things were quickly moving from “this is fun” to “this could be something real.” On May 4, 2019, Will made it official and asked Skyler to be his girlfriend—and of course, she said yes. Not long after, it was time for Will to meet Skyler’s family. Some might find that nerve-wracking, but not Will. From the get-go, he fit right in, winning everyone over with his easy charm, willingness to lend a hand, and impressive Mr. Fix-It skills. Whether it was tackling a task around the house or jumping in to help without being asked, Will quickly proved he wasn’t just dating Skyler—he was becoming part of the family.

Chapter 3: The Fix-It Man and the Fourth of May

Just a few months into their relationship, Skyler packed her bags for a big adventure—her final year of university was starting with a semester abroad in Norway. From a tearful goodbye at the airport to adjusting to a new time zone, the next four months would test their brand-new relationship in a big way. But distance didn’t dull the connection. With regular FaceTime calls and shared life updates from across the ocean, Will and Skyler grew even closer—even while being thousands of miles apart. In fact, by the time Skyler returned to Canada, they had officially spent more time apart than together. Their long-distance chapter ended on a high note when Will flew to Norway to help Skyler wrap up her exchange—and, of course, sneak in some travel memories. Together, they explored the streets of Oslo and took a spontaneous trip to Krakow, Poland, proving that love really can go the distance.

Chapter 4: Miles Apart, Closer Than Ever

As the world shut down in early 2020, Skyler and Will faced yet another unexpected challenge—navigating a global pandemic. But instead of pulling them apart, lockdowns brought them closer together. With Skyler’s best friend Tyler joining the mix, the trio moved in together, creating a home full of laughter, and the occasional group existential crisis. But the real star of this chapter? Remy—a scruffy, lovable mutt who quickly became the heart of their home. From the moment he trotted through the door, he brought joy, chaos, and more personality than anyone thought possible from an unassuming looking puppy. Whether he was curled up on the couch or enthusiastically “helping” with walks, Remy became the best addition to Skyler and Will’s relationship. What started as a time of uncertainty turned into a season of growth, patience, and deepened love—helped along by one very good boy and a very understanding roommate.

Chapter 5: Lockdowns, a Mutt, and a Third Wheel (Just Kidding, Tyler)

The next few years brought plenty of change—two more moves, job transitions for both Skyler and Will, and a rotating door of roommates... and animals. Tyler, the honorary third wheel of the relationship, eventually moved out (we miss you, Ty), making way for Skyler’s sister Michaela and her furry crew: Thor the sassy Pomeranian, and cats Ralph and Van. Somehow, amidst the flurry of fur and family, Skyler and Will kept things running smoothly. And because two dogs and three cats wasn’t quite enough, Skyler and Will agreed to babysit a foster dog “just for the night.” Naturally, they fell in love immediately and adopted her on the spot. Cricket—another lovable mutt—joined the family as if she’d been there all along. Not long after, as if summoned by fate (or maybe just the smell of kibble), a stray kitten wandered into their yard. They named him Crab and Cheese Wonton—Won for short—and yes, he stayed too. Obviously. Through all the transitions, their home was full of love, laughter, career changes, shared responsibilities, and just a few strategically placed lint rollers. But most of all, it was full of heart—two people building a life, a family (furry and otherwise), and a future together.

Chapter 6: Room to Grow (and Nowhere Near Enough Pet Hair Rollers)

What better place to pop the question than Boston Pizza? Will had planned a special dinner, and from start to finish, the service was absolutely amazing. But as anyone who knows Skyler can guess, tummy issues had other plans. Nearing the end of the meal, Skyler started feeling uncomfortable—complaining about her stomach and getting overheated. Meanwhile, Will was quietly wrestling with nerves, trying to find the perfect moment to ask the big question. Skyler, determined not to ruin the evening, said she didn’t want dessert, but encouraged Will to order some if he wanted. Will got dessert, paid the bill, and just when Skyler felt her second wave of discomfort coming on, Will knew it was now or never. In the midst of the chaos, he took a knee and asked Skyler to marry him. Skyler was completely caught off guard—so much so that she wasn’t even mad about her stomach acting up. And with a big “Yes!” and a chorus of cheers from the staff who’d been watching the whole thing unfold, a new chapter officially began.
