Neither of us particularly like having our picture taken, which is obviously not ideal when trying to fill a page telling your story as a couple. In lieu of a serious engagement shoot or sappy photo timeline, enjoy a brief recounting of our love story through some uncannily similar childhood photos.

Two peas in a pod, or rather two kids in buckets. Same shenanigans, different ends of the country.

We bonded over our love of animals, big and small...

... and our love of yellow hats apparently. You can tell whose parents trusted who more.

Always getting into mischief, both of us. It obviously took us a while to learn not to get caught on camera committing shenanigans.

We also share a love of (and growing respect for each other's favourite) sports. Just not playing. And neither of which are pictured here.

Yet somehow, despite growing up on opposite ends of the country, the knight (or viking) in shining (plastic) armour managed to save the gypsy princess from her windowsill.
