Wedding Stories
Words from our couples
It was love at first sight! Nick and I met in a cafeteria at Fanshawe College, in 2013. We had been enrolled in the same program, and ended up sitting together in the cafeteria, after our professor didn’t show up for the first class. If our professor had showed up as planned, I don’t know that I would have had an excuse to sit next to the cute guy.
During my time as a former professional hockey player, I had introduced my teammate, Kevin, to his Fiance. Roles reversed when I became single, and Kevin then recommended that I talk to this girl Jenna, who he had gone to high school with. The cool thing to do at the time was to slide into her DM’s, with a slick line of “Hey”.
Kyle and I met at one of his Hockey Games, eleven years ago. At the time, he was playing for the London Knights and I attended one of his games with a friend. He had been suspended, so he was sitting on the sidelines, a few rows in front of me. We connected on good old Facebook shortly after, and the rest is history!
Wes proposed on a trip to South Carolina, during a round of golf. We were just finishing and going to take a picture on the final hole, when he got down on one knee. I thought he had tripped, and I told him to get up for the picture. It wasn’t until I realized that he was holding a ring, when I laughed hysterically in shock. I don’t remember anything he said, but, of course I said “Yes!”.
We actually met on an online dating app (Tinder) in 2013. I thought John was good looking (obviously), and we ended up having a lot in common. Originally, I didn’t want to go – it was a blind date, and it would be the first time I had ever done anything like that. Thank goodness my best friend convinced me to go!
When people ask me how I met my husband, I usually start with, “It’s a really romantic story…”, and then it quickly ends by telling them that we met and got engaged at a trailer park. Mike and I grew up together, spending each summer at a campground that both of our families camped at. High school summer love grew into more, and because we spent so much of our time at the park together, it was the perfect place for him to propose.
Kevin proposed to me while I was attending a yoga class in downtown Toronto, hosted by a well known yoga instructor. It was an important weekend for me, as the instructor was one of my biggest mentors. I had just gotten up to teach my portion of the class, and next thing I know, Kevin walked in! This was VERY WELL played by him, as not much gets past me. I had absolutely NO idea a proposal was coming and was completely shocked!
