Our Story

Once upon a time, in the heart of Montreal, two students met at university, completely unaware of how much their lives were about to change; at a charity event focused on academia known as Science Games. From the start there was an easy connection, a spark that made everything feel right, even when life around felt chaotic with assignments and exams.

Montreal started as their playground — from walking the cobbled streets of Old Port, to sharing cozy dinners in hidden cafes. The city saw their love grow, becoming a blend of shared moments, nights out with friends, and date nights.

As the months turned into years, the adventures never ended. From biking through Amsterdam, to scuba diving in Turks and Caicos, to skiing in Niseko, they always aim to balance their lives with novel experiences and amazing food.

Eight years later, life led them to Brooklyn, New York, a city just as alive and full of surprises as their relationship. By now, Bruno, their fluffy, loyal pup, was part of their story, wagging his tail and chasing after every New York pigeon that gets in his way.

Looking back, it is incredible to think how far they've come — from that first meeting in Montreal, to navigating a new life together in Brooklyn. And while everything around them kept changing, their love stayed constant, growing stronger, with Bruno happily at their side.
