North Vancouver

The Groom

Humble, handsome and truly one of the most thoughtful people you'll ever meet. Kane was born in Red Deer, Alberta and moved to Vancouver in 1995. After spending several years living abroad in California, Japan and finally Australia, Kane settled back in Vancouver. His love for Australia showed up again when he met Neil in 2016.

Kane

The Groom

A man of two countries, Neil was born in Perth, Australia before moving to Canada in 1997. It was the draw of the mountains that first beckoned, a beautiful country, its people and many favoured opportunities. Neil has kept his close connection with Australia now clocking up 25 return trips, with many more to come...

We are waiting for..... The Adventure

Our Love Story

First meet

Summer 2016

One glorious Wednesday afternoon in Vancouver, Neil was introduced to Kane while attending a Church event. Then a few months later the now famous Church-carpark incident took place, where Kane literally walked out in front of Neil's car. This sparked the beginning of their incredible adventure.

First dates

January 2017

Coffee turned into wine, and hours of conversation later both guys knew the connection was real, yet many details were undiscovered. A month later, after a playful dinner, Kane finally conceded that these were indeed dates. The first of many...

Proposal

July 20 2018

Under the disguise of a surprise birthday getaway, Kane whisked Neil away to Portland (for a very important Tiffany delivery) and then onto Cannon Beach. In the most magical setting Kane got down on one knee and proposed. The surprise continued as a photographer, arranged by Kane, documented the entire engagement. The photos from that day adorn the pages here, and our hearts forever.

Enagagement

Fall/Winter 2018-2019

Kane and Neil settled on a date for their wedding after finding a new Church home at Lynn Valley United. Their engagement included many wonderful trips with family and friends, including adventures together in San Diego, Sydney, Perth and Mexico.
