How we got here

Our story

We met as classmates, neither of us expecting that the walk home would turn into the start of our whole story.

Very quickly, the highlight of the week became the hours after class—the long walks, the effortless conversations, and that quiet feeling of never wanting the afternoon to end.

Somewhere in those endless walks, a close friendship turned into a deep and beautiful love.

Classmates first, then something far better — and best friends the whole way through.

A year into this partnership, building a home and a life together has felt completely natural. We keep discovering, over and over, that everything in our world simply fits better when we’re side by side.

On October 17, we’re gathering our favourite people in Toronto to celebrate the easiest choice we’ve ever made.

We love you all, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter together.
