• Tell us the story of how the two of you met.
  We met on an online dating site and started chatting on facebook. Turned out that we went to the same highschool, same university and even worked at the same restaurant at different times. We had a few mutual friends and decided to go on a date together. We went mini-golfing for our first date was super awkward but also so much fun! We were able to joke around about how meeting people from the internet can be scary, at the end of the date we both said “Well I guess your not a murderer we should do this again”
• What were your first thoughts on seeing each other?
  Tia: My first thought seeing Geoff was, damn this guys early! I’m usually the early one! Next was this guys looks like a really nice, he looks like a lot of fun. Can’t wait to get to know him a little more. Geoff: Is this the girl? Because it kind of looks like her but I don’t know for sure.
• Tell me the proposal story (the long version is fine)
  Geoff texted Tia when she was at work saying “Hey meet me and Scout (the dog) at Rockway Gardens (local park) on your way home from work we can go for a walk together. Tia was still in her uniform from work and stopped to grab an iced cap and iced coffee for Geoff. When she pulled up to the park she couldn’t see Geoff and Scout and called him, he said he was at the top of the hill. Tia called up to him and said she didn’t know how to get up he needed to come down for their walk (she didn’t know he was planning on proposing). When she made her way up to Geoff at the top of the hill he was asking how she felt about the park, if she thought it was nice (we were sitting on top of a mini waterfall). He then popped the question!! Tia hid behind Scout the dog shocked and so excited! Then out for fancy dinner to celebrate.
• What is your favourite memory together (other than those mentioned above)?
  Tia : My favourite memory with Geoff is our trip to Quebec City – so much fun going on an adventure around the old city, exploring the Citadel and seeing the winter carnivale. We got to see some of Canada’s history and enjoy the quaint town together. Geoff: My favourite memory with Tia is going for a walk together in Quebec city, having breakfast in QC and basically hanging out together in Quebec city.
• What do you love most about each other?
  Tia: I love Geoff’s determination, he sets goals and he reaches them! Geoff is a lot of fun to hang out with — and he’ll do the yukky chores around the house 🙂 Geoff: I like Tia’s commitment to work, she is supportive, helps me do things and takes me places, generally nice to me and sometimes makes me food. I think shes smart.
• How do you hope your friends and family see your wedding?
  Tia: I want my friends and family to see our wedding as a fun and loving event. A fun time to get together with friends and other family members. A welcoming environment for two families to meet. Geoff: I hope they see it as a fun time, about not just us but also our extended families. A good occasion to get together with everybody that they know and celebrate our love.
• Have you thought of anywhere in your house you would like to hang your wedding photographs?
  Tia: EVERYWHERE! In the living room and bedroom. We will be moving into a new home after the wedding and are not sure what the layout will be. Geoff: Living room, Master bedroom, office
• Why did you choose us?
  Tia: I enjoyed the package. I liked that it had two photographers and included photography for the full day. I wanted to have photos of the girls getting ready, guys getting ready, people arriving at the wedding, ceremony, family photos, awesome photos captured at the reception. I was composed and traditional photos as well as fun and cheesie photos as well as embarrass reception photos of course! The package appeared to cover all the bases. I enjoyed the two parent albums to give as gifts after the wedding and I of course enjoyed the album for us. It seemed like a well rounded package and I think photos are the second most important part of the wedding… besides the wedding of course. Geoff: Tia picked it.
