OUR

Love STORY

Oh, the story of us is like something straight out of a rom-com!

Our love story began in our sophomore year of university, right in the heart of Saskatoon. Picture this: a crowded bar, two young hearts, and a serendipitous meeting. Graydon was on his engineering journey, and Reece was diving into the world of nursing and kinesiology.

Fast forward five incredible years of adventures, late-night study sessions, and countless laughs, and here we are! We’re not just partners in love but proud parents of the most adorable fur baby, Sophie. She’s the four-legged love of our lives, and we’ve already dreamt about expanding our fur family in the future.

And, oh, this past summer was pure magic. On a warm July evening, with the lake as our backdrop and the sun setting in all its glory, Graydon got down on one knee and asked that beautiful question. It was a moment of pure bliss, and of course, I said yes!

Cheers to love, laughter, and a future filled with more furry friends!

IN LOVING MEMORY As we gather to celebrate this day of love and commitment, our hearts remember with fondness the deep love of Reece’s granddad, Oliver and grandmother Helen, whose spirits have touched us all. While they couldn’t be here with us physically, their wisdom, laughter and we shared continue to inspire and surround us.
