Story
His Side
Meet Connor, the spirited Canadian hailing from the Niagara region. Growing up in a small town, he discovered his passion as a cadet, igniting his love for precision marksmanship – a skill that found surprising utility in video games. His love for sports and Lego led him to the world of Industrial Design in Toronto post-high school. A mere 79 days after tossing his graduation cap, he found himself on a collision course with destiny, and that destiny had a name – Janine.
Her Side
Enter Janine, the whirlwind of energy and laughter straight from the vibrant streets of The Philippines. Armed with a marketing degree, she embarked on an adventure that included two years of work in Hong Kong. There, she blended remote work with a jet-setting lifestyle, boasting an impressive tally of 45 flights in 1 year. Seeking growth, she crossed the seas to Canada for post-grad studies. Within 46 days of stepping into Toronto, her path intertwined with Connor's.

Their Side
September 13, 2019, a Friday the 13th, set the stage at the Arcade Bar, The Recroom. Fashionably an hour late, Janine made her entrance. Three months later, she was sipping cocoa with Connor's family during the Christmas Holidays.
The pandemic threw curveballs, prompting Janine to move into Connor's apartment after just six months. What started as a temporary stay evolved into a life together, complete with three furry companions – Seymour, Alex, and Finny. The deal was sealed in a downtown apartment within a year.
Anniversaries became a delightful tradition of surprising each other with activities and meals. March 2023 witnessed Connor's inaugural visit to the Philippines, meeting Janine's family in person.
June 2023 brought Willow into their lives, the first pet in their shared adventure. January 2024 saw Connor taking the plunge with a proposal, followed by a visit to The Philippines in February.
Now, the stage is set for them to tie the knot in Boracay, surrounded by loved ones, before continuing their adventure in the heart of Canada. #WeAight
