It all began - like many great love stories do - at the gym.

Erik had started to notice Wendy, the out-of-towner who was crushing workouts, always offering a smile and quickly becoming a favourite. After hearing nothing but great things about her, he finally made a move...by commenting a fire emoji on her ring muscle-up video. And just like that, the spark was lit.

The first date (naturally) came after a work out. They shared pizza and tea, and Erik brought Wendy a single flower - calling it strong and resilient, just like her. When Wendy went home to her then-roommate Delaney, it was obvious to Delaney that Wendy had a first date that would be her last.

From there it was snowboarding weekends (Revy made it official - thanks, Meghan), countless shared adventures, and eventually, time with Erik's son, River. River and Wendy hit it off immediately - both lovers of the outdoors, being active, and always having snacks on hand. These days, Erik often finds the two of them on some outdoor mission, typically including mud, mischief and with one of them always asking if River can stay up just a bit later!

Their relationship of an introvert and extrovert is one of balance, communication and understanding. Erik sees Wendy's need for connection and life with all. Wendy sees Erik's need for mindfulness and advanced warning of all plans :)

The proposal? That came after Erik secretly picked out the perfect ring (yes, all by himself). After a visit to the family farm to ask Darryl and Nancy for their blessing, he planned an epic trip to Iceland. There were hikes, waterfalls, fermented shark, and even talk of another trip tattoo (to match their oatmeal tattoos from LA)! On the Day 2, Erik led Wendy on a hike, hit record on his camera and asked the big question. She said yes!

Now, they're getting ready to celebrate with all the friends and family who've supported and loved them along the way. They want the day to feel relaxed, joyful, and full of heart - where everyone feels free to celebrate in their own way.

Thanks for being a part of this chapter. We can't wait to celebrate with you.
