Mary and Adriana first met in 2018, both showing up to a little coffee shop where they shared their first date wearing matching plaid button ups, black jeans, and grey toques. At first, Adriana mistook Mary’s shy demeanour as her being uninterested, and did not think their relationship would go past their first couple of dates. However, Mary’s tenacity proved Adriana wrong, and their relationship blossomed through their mutual sense of humour, love of family time, and hanging out with their friends. After dating for a couple of months, Mary joined Adriana’s work basketball team in addition to already playing in another league, just so she could spend more time with Adriana. At the end of their first summer of dating, Mary and Adriana travelled to British Columbia to attend Vancouver Pride, thus starting their tradition of travelling somewhere new every summer. At the end of 2018, Mary’s career as a Registered Nurse took her to Northern Alberta, where the couple pursued a long-distance relationship lasting eight long months. After finding a job back in Calgary, Mary moved in with Adriana, and their relationship continued to grow. That summer, the couple travelled to Portland, Oregon, where Mary proposed to Adriana and they returned to Calgary a newly engaged couple. Mary and Adriana have always shared a love for the outdoors, making it an easy decision to celebrate their marriage in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. After some searching, Mary and Adriana’s decision to hold their wedding at the Cornerstone Theatre in Canmore was an easy choice. Working with the venue, Mary and Adriana were able to have the wedding of their dreams, an intimate celebration of their love and commitment for one another spent with their closest family and friends.
