We drive each other crazy, but we can't get enough of each other. Fast forward almost 11 years, and here we are. Whether it be a lazy Sunday on the couch or traveling the world, we are always happy just being together.
We met on a warm spring day, right before exams – where we locked eyes in the Carleton University Food Court. Maria was getting sustenance in order to get through her law homework with our mutual friend, Neha (whom we now refer to as “the matchmaker” – without her, we would never have met), while I was getting sustenance with my friend, Brian.
For the next few months, Maria played hard to get - we had some cheeky back and forth banter. We ended up meeting at Mike’s Place, the pub on campus, for a beer. I was so nervous that I proceeded to drink almost a whole pitcher, while she had only half a glass. Playing hard to get continued …
Eventually she succumbed to my charm.
For our first official date, we went to Oh So Good where we shared delicious cake and tea (and that was when I first fell in love with her). It was a rainy day, so I held the umbrella for her.
December 31st was the day her life changed forever. I planned a romantic dinner for us to enjoy, which she thought was all part of a grand New Year's Eve surprise. After dinner, we took a walk in the courtyard of my apartment building where I proposed underneath the lit up gazebo. This became the profound moment reshaping our future forever and planning our destiny together.
We've set aside a block of 10 rooms that can be booked, on a first come, first served basis, at the Brookstreet Hotel, at a special rate of $159/night.
