At 44 you don’t imagine that true love will ever find it’s way to you. Well fairytales are real and dreams do come true! At this time in our lives, I don’t know if either of us were convinced that there was one person out there made just for us. Yea-yea “soulmates” as people referred […]
I met my husband when we were in grade 7, but we didn’t start dating until we were 16 and have been together ever since. We have been married for almost 11 years and have three wonderful children. I remember our wedding day as if it were yesterday. It was one of the happiest days […]
When I first met Robin, I did what every boy would do when he liked a girl; I made silly jokes and made a fool of myself. After all, I was only 12. We saw each other occasionally over the next few years, but reconnected again in Grade 11 and we’ve been together ever since. […]
My husband had (and still has) a very successful steel manufacturing company when I first met him. His last name was Heitzman. The name was given to him when he was adopted by his horrible step dad, so he had no emotional connection with his last name. His father’s last name was Piazza, but because […]
I worked for my husband as a personal assistant for 4 months before an emergency business trip. We went to China and I fell in love with the “idea” of him not knowing he was falling in love with me at the same time. He proposed we spend our lives together on the plane back […]
I first met my husband Todd four years before we “really” met. I was travelling to the Okanagan for a friends wedding and had another good friend Cori driving with me – she needed a lift to the Okanagan for her family reunion. We drove up in my new blue sports car…with only two speeding […]
I met Katherine after college on a dating website. I never thought I would also find a woman who shared a common love of God. While my parents have not been very supportive and loving, thankfully our friends and church family have been. Overcoming discrimination caused us to have quite a bumpy road throughout this […]
Alan and I met when we were in our early 40’s, both of us unmarried, both childless, both a lot of life prior to getting together. Alan is a carpenter and he was referred to me when I wanted to do some renovating on my house. We grew to like and respect each other during […]
Petawawa to Nanaimo – A trip of a LIFETIME A beautiful blonde girl sits across the room from me at a friends birthday party. “Is she looking at me?” I ask myself as I look back over my shoulder to see who is sitting behind me. Chris is sitting there….”gotta be checking out Chris” I […]
It was 19 years ago that both Bruce and I both ended up at a party that neither of us were supposed to be at…we had never crossed paths before, he was from Ontario and I am an island girl through and through. Looking back now, the Universe was working its magic. I was immediately […]
The first thing anyone is going to tell you as a newly married couple is that marriage is hard. They are wrong. Marriage isn’t hard, well, my marriage isn’t hard. My marriage isn’t hard because it is where I belong. I remember years ago, 16 to be exact, I was a bright eyed engaged gal working […]
From the very first moment he saw me, he fell in love. He remembered me from lives past. The first words he spoke to me were “You have my Favourite Face.” He caught my attention with his alluring eyes, but it was his hug that drew me in. When my heart edged in closer to […]
Honesty, integrity, beauty, modesty, this list could go on and on. I don’t want to pump her tires too much but Brittanie Bates is genuinely one of the greatest additions you could ever imagine having in your life. She doesn’t know her full potential which makes sense as its entirely infinite. She will also punch you in […]
I fight with my husband. “We’re just on the same page” is a phrase we would always say when we started dating. I was 20 and Andrew 22. We were smitten. I loved him because how he made me feel. I felt special, adored, respected, spoiled, taken care of and encouraged. From an outsider things […]
Who’s hand do you want to be holding? It started with a cheesy move and a simple number on a piece of paper. Now here we are 10 years of marriage and three kids later. Older, greyer and definitely with bigger bags under our eyes. We didn’t know that our life would end up like […]
One rainy autumn evening around 10 years ago I thought I was taking a chance and giving this beautiful waitress my phone number….Well I fell in love. And with the blink of an eye.. today I woke up with 3 beautiful kids and an amazing wife (the waitress). Looking back we like to talk about our love and all […]
I was blessed to have Ed walk into my life in 1998, when we were both just kids really. He caught my eye and as I later found out, we were actually both *stalking* each other at the time. I would ‘stop by’ where he worked and he would do the same…pretending we were there […]
Sarah and I met in BC in 1998. I was 26 years old and the general sense I had was that it would be a long time before I ever met someone that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It certainly didn’t turn out that way though! To this day I […]
I met Ty almost 3 years ago on a night out with friends. Pretty quickly after we went on a few dates I knew he was someone special. He was very respectful of me and was always a gentleman. He genuinely cared and was interested in making my day to day life better right from […]
I met my wife Kristen by random chance on a night out with friends. I was living a few hours away at the time and had decided that I was not interested in dating anyone for a while. But as it so happened I found there was something special about her and I just could […]
I think marriage is what takes love to the next level. While being in love is a fantastic, happy feeling, marriage is about dedicating your life to make your partner feel happy, loved and secure. In theory, it may not sound exciting, however love is what makes it exciting! Love involves sacrifice; there is no […]
I met Oscar over 5 years ago when I was living in La Paz, Bolivia volunteering with a Canadian non-profit organization. He was very shy at first so I asked him to help me improve my Spanish and it worked! We were inseparable for the remaining month of my placement & I enjoyed learning more […]
I’ve always heard that when you meet “the one” you’ll know it. It’s true. When I met my husband I knew that, even despite some pretty monumental hurdles, that he was the one I would spend the rest of my life with. Tom married me and my three children over 22 years ago and we’ve […]
I have been married to my wonderful wife for twenty plus years, and I have to say that it has been a terrific time that actually seems much shorter than the two decades. Time flies when you’re having fun. We do have different interests and Donna always encourages me to take advantage of mine when […]
I think my marriage works because my wife and I both have a deep desire and commitment to make our marriage a huge success. Despite our differences, my wife and I both work on ways to allow each other to enjoy, and get as much out of our relationship as possible. With Love, passion, understanding, […]
