Our Story
It started with a look...
Our Story
December 7, 2019
We met while working at Elections Canada, where Stefano apparently couldn’t keep his eyes off Christina, or stop finding reasons to come over to her station and talk to her.
He may have gotten in trouble for it. It was worth it.
And the rest came naturally.
The Proposal
May 17, 2025
Years later, after dinner at one of our favourite restaurants, La Vecchia, Stefano surprised Christina with a proposal by the water.
There was just one small problem. In all the excitement, he forgot to actually give her the ring. So naturally, we did take two.
This time, with the ring.
