Our Story
How We Met
It all started quite unexpectedly at work. While we were busy navigating the daily grind, we eventually found ourselves grabbing beers after hours, trading stories and realizing there was a connection that went far beyond the office walls.
As it turns out, the universe had been trying to introduce us for a long time. While we finally met in Montreal, we later discovered a hidden twist in our timelines: years earlier, Karina had lived in the very same town in France where Michael grew up. In a classic "missed connection," he had moved away just as she was arriving to spend a year there.
We may have missed each other across the ocean back then, but we're so glad we finally caught up to one another right here at home.
The Proposal
During a trip to Mexico, Michaël led us on a long walk toward the water. Karina had no idea where they were going, and our son, only two at the time, was happily oblivious to the big moment ahead.
When we reached a spot overlooking the crystal blue sea, Michaël got down on one knee. It was so completely unexpected that Karina's first reaction wasn't shock… it was laughter. For a split second, she honestly thought he might be joking. It was a moment of pure, startled joy that felt perfectly us.
The Wedding Party
The woman who raised me with a strength I carry every day; no matter the distance, she remains the heart of who I am.
The rock of the family, always there with endless support and love.
Julian
A dear friend who knows our story best, honoring us by leading our ceremony.
Benoit
Michaël's partner in crime since day one.
Benjamin
Always bringing the laughs and the best advice.
Carlos
Best friends since high school and university. Carlos has been my go-to person ever since the days he let me take over his TV to watch Dawson's Creek.
Diana
Friends since our university days. Diana is a great photographer and the coolest friend I've always aspired to, always ready for an adventure and a new perspective.
