Our Story

Fifteen Years in the Making

Every love story is beautiful, but this one is ours — told in a few small chapters.

  1. 2011

    It began with a message

    Long before either of us knew what it would become, a BBM notification lit up a screen — and everything that followed started with hello.

  2. 2012

    The first of everything

    First date, first winter, first time we realized this wasn't like anything before. We've been each other's favourite person ever since.

  3. The Yes

    She said yes

    After more than a decade of choosing each other every day, one question made it official — and one answer made it forever.

  4. 2027

    We say forever

    On a January evening in the city where it all began, surrounded by everyone we love, we'll finally say the words.

And the best chapter is still being written.
