Sometimes love just needs a little bit of a push from your friends…
Anne and Jeff first crossed paths at a Mardi Gras party in 2005, but were disappointed when the night took them in different directions and they didn’t meet up again. Months later, Anne found herself going to Vegas with a friend who happened to be a mutual friend to Jeff too. Aware that the other was going to be on the trip, but not really sure of the details, Anne found herself with butterflies when she laid eyes on Jeff again. Like an awkward scene from a movie, they played it cool, said hello and headed towards the gate. Little did they know that their friend had made all of the accommodation plans and Anne and Jeff, along with two others ended up all sharing the same room. I agree, Anne, definitely not a coincidence! After a great weekend, but separated again at the airport, love seemed to have nearly slipped away from them again.
Once home from their trip though, they added each other to msn and continually made up excuses to be in the other’s city. Trying to make it seem like it was a secondary thought to get together for dinner or to hang out, I know it was all just a secret plan to see the other person! After a couple of weeks, they finally connected for good and will be getting married this summer in London. There’s nothing like the help of a good friend to help get romance off the ground!

I have something in common with Dave that I enjoy very much - neither of us have very far to go to get to work in the morning. Dave is a dairy farmer and lives on his home farm with Melissa. Around planning a wedding, he’s also building a new dairy barn this month - that’s ambition, if you ask me.
Melissa and Dave have the classic story of being friends first before they started dating. They both love animals and love being around the farm. They have a special dog, Chloe, who they admittedly spoil and is edging 30 pounds overweight, along with a horse named Jack who got his name for being a complete Jack *ss (they called him that, not me, honest!) Along with a love for farm life and animals, Melissa and Dave share the love of lots of friends and family. Dave comes from a family of 5 children, with his family making up a large portion of the guest list. Their reception is going to have nearly 450 guests and will be a great night, I’m sure. Good luck with the barn and we’ll see you in a couple of weeks!

Dawid and Marcie attended the same high school, went to the same parties and events, but just never really crossed paths. It wasn’t until they started working at the same place that they finally officially met. One day in the cafeteria, Marcie was looking down when Dawid walked by. Mistaking him for a co-worker, she made a comment about his shoes. A deep, booming voice responded, and surprised, Marcie looked up and smiled. She still teases him about his size 14’s to this day!
2 years ago, Dawid had planned a romantic summer trip to Quebec city for the two of them. In the process of building their first home together, Marcie thought that they should cancel or postpone the trip and use the money towards their new home. Dawid wasn’t so sure, but caught wind of the fact that Marcie suspected he was going to propose on the trip. He had secretly planned a horse and buggy ride and a surprise picnic overlooking the St. Lawrence. Dawid, following Marcie’s request, agreed to cancel the trip. On bended knee, in a pile of sawdust, Dawid asked Marcie to marry him in the middle of their newly framed home. Complete with a single red rose and a reservation at their favourite restaurant, Marcie said yes. A beautiful memory, but still longing for the romantic trip to Quebec City, they are considering going there on a mini honeymoon this summer before they head for their actual honeymoon in Europe this fall. Congratulations Dawid and Marcie!
