Ryan and Chloe met over 10 years ago, shortly before Ryan left to go travelling for a year. They had an instant connection and were teasing each other within 5 minutes of meeting. It was hard when it came time for him to leave a few months later, but they kept thinking about each other the whole time that they were apart. When Ryan got back, he immediately wanted to see Chloe, and it didn’t take much convincing for her to become his girlfriend.

They dated throughout their undergraduate degrees, often going out dancing or sitting at local bars, talking until it closed. After graduating, they went adventuring together, exploring Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and Fiji. When they got back, they moved in together into their apartment in downtown Toronto – which they now share with their loving little kitty fluffball Winston – and started building their life together.

On their 8^th anniversary, Ryan recreated their first date with pizza, happy fun music, and unwanted Smirnoff ices on their apartment balcony, and proposed to Chloe. Although she was very sick at the time, he wanted her to know that he would stand by her no matter what. And he did. Although the past few years have been hard for them, they have stood by each other without falter and loved one another throughout it all.

Other than just hanging around being weird, Chloe and Ryan’s favourite things to do together are going to concerts and music festivals, doing silly dances, getting drinks on patios and cooking together at home. They can’t wait to continue the wonderful life that they have built together and to keep doing these things for the rest of their lives.

Their wedding will be held on their 10 (now 11) year anniversary weekend. The day will be a celebration of love, life, and dancing of course!
