Our Wedding

Our lives have been one epic journey, full of thrilling escapades and unexpected twists. It all started 16 years ago when we crossed paths on a wild adventure, teaching ESL in Taiwan in our adventurous 20s. That experience left an indelible mark on our souls. Fast forward to our return to Canada after four exhilarating years, and we found ourselves facing a new adventure: being 30 and feeling a tad behind our friends in the career and lifestyle race. But boy, did we find our groove! Living it up in Toronto during our fabulous 30s, we were the kings and queens of good times. But life had another surprise in store for us—an adventure we never saw coming. Parenthood crashed into our lives, sweeping us away from the city lights and into the realm of adulting. Homeownership, PTA meetings, and endless hours of cartoons became our new reality. Yet, through it all, our hearts yearned for that place where our love story first sparked, where the world opened up before us, and the wonder of life was palpable. Then COVID-19 hit, and we couldn't help but wonder: Is this the perfect time to embark on our next adventure? Do we still have untold tales waiting to be written? Is it time to bid farewell to our Toronto chapter and set sail towards new horizons? The rest, my friends, is history in the making. We're still deep in the throes of this incredible adventure, eagerly anticipating whatever comes next, with hearts bursting with anticipation and spirits ready to conquer the world.
