Our Story

OUR STORY

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!

Even though we were just friends for a couple years before we started dating, we went on many adventures prior to being together. 

Here is a pic of us at Jasper Ice fields!
