We met in a tree! More specifically, at a BBQ in the park – held by our friend Brad in June 2006.
The photo below is one of our favourites, taken shortly after meeting!
A little about us…
Chris was born in July of 1986. He is passionate about all forms of electronic entertainment.
Becky was born in January of 1989. She is passionate about all forms of cooking.
Together (with the help of our family and friends) we’ve been working hard to build a house and plan a wedding at the same time.
The Proposal…
This is kind of a funny story. Chris asked Danny (Becky’s dad) for permission to marry his daughter in the summer of 2013 – while fishing at the cottage. Chris spent a long while, researching the ring he wanted to buy. Come November, he had found the one, and purchased it online. He was going to propose on Christmas. All had gone according to plan, until one day (Tuesday, Nov. 26th) Becky found a large purchase had been made to her paypal account. Afraid it was fraudulent activity, she told Chris about it (on gmail chat – while at work). Chris then realized the transaction had not gone through on his account, instead it had gone through on Becky’s. Chris panicked and asked her to marry him right then and there – ONLINE!
As I’m sure you’ve guessed, she said yes!
We started dating in September 2006. Unsure of the actual date, we chose Sept. 11th to be our anniversary date (since it was easy to remember).
We wanted to keep our wedding date as close to our original anniversary date as possible, leaving us with a wedding date of Sept. the 12th!
In hopes of inviting all of our family and friends,
we chose to have the wedding on our property to keep things as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
