Our Story

It all began online in December 2013 – Christina ‘winked’ at Graham, and he started the conversation. After exchanging a few messages they finally met in person at Leva Bistro for pizza. Graham drove through a terrible blizzard from Camrose just to meet this girl and their date went on for hours! Upon leaving Graham gave Christina a gift - a pack of cards. It was almost Christmas and he knew she loved playing games with her family. Christina was pretty happy he made it through that blizzard!

Their second date was at the Harry Potter exhibit in Telus World of Science then dinner, and they shared their first kiss. They both knew this was something special! Christina and Graham kept dating long distance until April 2014 when Graham moved to Edmonton and bought a place. In February of 2015 he started a position in Edmonton, and by October Graham had moved in with Christina.

Graham had bought the engagement ring in November, but waited four months for the perfect moment – a trip to New Zealand! After a close call at emigration and nearly having to propose at the airport in Auckland, Graham surprised Christina on top of Roy’s Peak in Wanaka on March 3, 2016 after a 3 hour hike! It was so special and romantic - of course she said yes! They continued their wonderful trip, getting to visit with Grahams friends before heading home to celebrate with friends and family! Then the wedding plans began!
