Our Story
Megan and Matt met back in the summer of 2017 through a mutual friend in Nanaimo and started dating that November.
Since then they have both encouraged each other to finish their post-secondary schooling, and have achieved wonderful jobs in their chosen careers.
Megan is the manager of an Infant Toddler Montessori program in the valley and Matt is a Journeyman Electrician.
Matt and Megan lived together in Nanaimo from 2017-2019 and then made the move to Courtenay where they still currently reside in the fall of 2019. They survived the Covid pandemic together. And in May of 2022 they welcomed Topaz their first fur baby into their life. A spicy kitten with the biggest personality.
On November 6th, 2021, Matt took Megan on an adventure they'll never forget; Matt got down on one knee in front of their favourite waterfall… and the rest is history!

The Comox Valley Airport (YQQ) is the closest airport to the venue.
