Wedding Date on Jul 4, 2020

Kathleen + Riley met on a blind date! Kathleen's sister has a neighbour/friend(Alyssa) who is also friends with Riley. One day Riley went up snowboarding to Big White and ran into Alyssa and her husband, they ended up having a few drinks and talking about life and what Riley, might be looking for in a partner. Alyssa knew Kathleen from spending time at Alana's house and in the end Alyssa decided Kathleen and Riley should meet. They did meet one day and neither knew much about the other, but both were in a place in life where life was good and taking a chance on meeting someone seemed like it was not a bad idea. We went to Micro on our first date and closed it down with great conversation :). Once we met it was kind of crazy how easy it felt to fall in love, especially since we has both been through previous relationships in the past that hadn't gone so well and thought we would both be more tentative than we were. In fact it was interesting by the time we got to know each other, how many people we both knew since we had both been in Kelowna a long time but we never met before. In lots of ways we just feel really lucky and blessed that each of us met the other. After summer dates on the boat we knew pretty quickly we had found the person we wanted to build a life with. We both are family oriented and like to enjoy the simple things in life: the outdoors, good people, close friends and fun. We love to travel, we love our dog (Johnny Cash), we love Mumford and Sons, Game of Thrones (we miss it), Family Guy, 70's music and we love concerts. We took a trip to Nashville last year and had so much fun! We got engaged at Sparkling Hill after a walk around the golf course. Kathleen had to pee really bad and almost ruined it but Riley managed to propose with beautiful words in a beautiful spot overlooking the lake. It was just the two of us :)
