Some love stories take their time but ours took off at full speed!

Our story begins in March 2022, when we officially became a couple. From the start, everything just clicked. A few weeks in, we exchanged our first "I love you," and within three months, we were living together. And just a year later in May 2023, we were engaged, proving that when you know, you just know.

In August 2023 we traveled to Ireland, where Michael met Debbie’s family and explored the city that she grew up in. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, on our flight home, we got the news that our offer on a house had been accepted! That was our sign, it was time to start the next chapter in Campbell River.

Fast forward to July 2024, when we welcomed the sweetest addition to our family—our puppy, Ellie. With all the changes happening, planning a wedding seemed like something we’d have to put off… until fate (and Instagram) stepped in.

Debbie came across an elopement package that felt like it was made just for us. Even more incredible? The date lined up perfectly with a weekend she had already marked in her calendar at the start of 2024: "We are getting married." Manifestation at its finest!

And just like that, everything fell into place.

Now, we can’t wait to celebrate our elopement with all of you at a fun, laid-back party filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. This is just the beginning of our story, and we’re so excited to have you be part of it!

💛 Debbie & Michael
