Wedding Day

Our Wedding

We first met in 2018, and it didn’t take long for us to discover how much we loved exploring the outdoors together. Whether we were cross country skiing, canoeing, camping, or planning our next trip, being outside quickly became our favorite way to grow closer.Our very first romantic getaway set the tone, a frosty drive along the ice road to Fort Chipewyan. Since then, our travels have taken us from Vancouver Island’s coastline to Utah’s deserts, the warmth of Mexico, the mountains of Jasper, and of course to Bathurst.In 2020, as the world slowed down, we took a big step forward and moved in together. Those months at home brought us even closer, and in 2022 we found a place to call our own, our first home, filled with love, laughter, one Kiwi kitty and plenty of gear for our next adventure.Now we can’t wait to start this next chapter and continue exploring the world side by side.
