Our story begins by a microwave at the University of Toronto. On a fated August day in 2023, as we warmed up lunch,
Olivia spotted an opportunity to recruit another player for Friday
Soccer. It was the early days of graduate school: Olivia had just started the second year of
her PhD, and James had just begun his Master's.
We quickly became close, grabbing lunch between classes and playing board games with
friends over the weekend. James eventually fell in love and confessed his feelings
over coffee on a Tuesday afternoon in November. After some deliberation, Olivia agreed to go on a date
with James, and from that moment on we were inseparable.
A couple of years later we took a trip to St. John's, Newfoundland. James proposed to Olivia in a clearing surrounded by blueberry bushes, looking over the easternmost point in Canada.
Now we are eagerly looking forward to celebrating our wedding with friends and family.
