Reid and Marita met at work and felt an instant connection. They quickly learned that they had many people in common, attended the same Elementary, Junior High and High Schools, shared the same values and many common interests. Soon they became best friends; inseparable and laughing everyday together. They knew immediately that they never wanted to be without each other. Marita remembered a conversation they once had when they first started dating, that no matter what path this relationship leads to in the future, that no matter what, that they will always remain friends. Marita even entertained the idea of moving to Vancouver in the fall of 2010 (before she had met Reid) but as they became friends, she knew that plan wasn’t going to happen anymore. She remembers mentioning it to him and he immediately said, “No! You can’t leave!”

After having only known each other a few short months and dating only one month, they booked a trip to Mexico together for New Year’s Eve. It was the best vacation they had ever taken! They then decided to book another trip right away for their Easter break, which was when Reid proposed to Marita. She was shocked, as it was unexpected, “but when YA KNOW, YA KNOW”. They are the happiest they have ever been. They waited their whole lives to meet each other and believe it was true fate that they both got jobs at the same school in 2009. This my friends is a true love story and I am so please  that I get to share their big day with them this upcoming October! I seriously CAN NOT WAIT! Lots of love – Shawna
