Our Story
Our love story began in 2012 when we first met at university through a mutual group of friends. Though we were just acquaintances back then, little did we know that life had bigger plans for us. Fast forward ten years, fate brought us back together as we both found ourselves moving to the Niagara region in 2021. Our first date at Lock Street Brewing Co. in Port Dalhousie was unforgettable; the conversation flowed, and we instantly connected, continuing on a handful of back-to-back dates. Our engagement was just as magical. After a wonderful night at an Arkells concert with our parents, Craig surprised Catherine with a walk down the pier in Port Dalhousie, expressed his love, and proposed. It was a beautiful, unexpected moment that we will cherish forever. This is our story, and we can’t wait to start the next chapter with all our friends & family.
Bridesmaids
Caroline
My big sister Caroline has been with me through every step of the way, always there with love, guidance, and plenty of laughs. With a 10-year age gap between us, she’s not just my sister but like a second mother to me. From teaching me the ropes of life to sharing the best advice, I have always tagged along by her side. I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side as my Maid of Honour.
Jane
Jane and I met in college and worked together after graduating. We instantly clicked, and I knew right away she would be a lifelong friend. She’s always been there for me through everything, and I am so lucky to have her standing beside me on our wedding day!

Lindsay and I met in college, but we truly connected when we started working together after graduation. We hit it off instantly, and our friendship has only grown since then and we even share the same birthday! I am so lucky to have her standing with me on our wedding day!
Allie
Allie and I met through Craig, and we instantly clicked! It wasn’t long before we realized we grew up just around the corner from each other in Burlington, what a small world! Allie’s become such an important part of my life, and I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side on this special day!
