Our Love Story
Our journey started with a song — literally. In August 2016, we both jumped into the same karaoke duet on Smule at the exact same time, without realizing the other was there. When the playback rolled, there we were — singing in perfect harmony… right before a stranger joined in with terrible pitch and ruined everything.
“It must be destiny,” Kyle replied. One trip across the Atlantic later, he sold everything he owned and moved to England. Two years after that, we packed our entire life into two backpacks and started fresh in Canada.
Through brain surgeries, a pandemic, and unimaginable loss — we kept choosing each other. On August 8, 2026, as the Sun in Leo aligns with Sirius and the Lionsgate Portal opens, we will finally say I do beneath the same stars that wrote us into existence.
