The event included a treasure map and eight scrolls, each detailing a task for us to complete together before our wedding next summer. Here’s a glimpse of how the day unfolded.
A map and eight scrolls, the treasure of my life.
Joe Kool’s and a candle, for the night the fire was lit.
The Runt Club and a candle holder, for quesadillas and a renaissance concert.
Victoria Park and a drawing in Quebec City, for the first time our hands touched.
Metropolitan United Church, and the Montreal Bach Festival, for our first symphony.
The Grand Theatre and a trip to Stratford, for Romeo and Juliet.
St. James Westminster and an empty box, for our common call to faith.
The Robert Q and jewelry by the lake, for our wanderlust.
The Olde South Village Pub, chocolates, and the sweetest question I have ever been asked: Will you marry me?
And now I gaze with gratitude and wonder at this ring on my finger and think, how is it that I have come to know such happiness? How is it that this man can love me as he does? I swell with joy, I glitter like diamonds on gold.

I’m so very happy for you Natasha. Wishing you all the best.
Oh my – you have found yourself a treasure!
Just wonderful.
