We met at Future Shop sometime in 2009. We both don't remember our first meeting, so it definitely was not love at first site.
Like the millennials that we were we became BBM buddies and probably BBM'd each other every day.
Some foreshadowing...Yves remembers there being a time where he heard a voice tell him that he was going to marry Anna one day and this was when they were just friends!
