OUR STORY

On a sunny summer day in 1986, Blair spotted an innocent, unsuspecting young girl at the library. Curious, he followed her outside and watched as she rode away on her Canadian Tire special. She almost escaped that day, but something compelled her to turn her bike around and stare up at him from the street below.

He gave his best eighties 'brat pack' impression and leaned on the rail of the balcony with both elbows as he shouted down to her, “What’s your name?” 

She gazed at him, shielding her eyes from the bright sun above,  "Heather, What's yours?"

His reply was captivating and impossibly romantic. "Blair." he replied. 

They stood staring at one another for what felt like an awkwardly long moment. Then Blair, in full Juliet fashion, called down, “Are you going to be here tomorrow, Heather?”

With equal theatrical grace and Romeo savoir-faire, she gazed up at her future love from the street below and  answered, “Yep. Are you?” 

She would only admit years later, while writing about this kismet encounter on a webpage announcing their impending nuptials, that up until that moment she actually had no plans to be at the library the next day. 

He nodded and called back, “Yep. See you tomorrow then?”

She bid him farewell with, “Well okay… see you tomorrow.”

After a serendipitous teenage romance, a pivotal watermelon incident, and the tumultuous twists of early adult angst that led them down separate paths, they reunited a mere 37 years later through a birthday greeting, an old photograph, and one shared sentiment:

“You’ve crossed my mind over the years.”

We are so happy to invite our family and friends to celebrate 40 years of adventures - some shared, many lived separately - and an entangled connection that, despite time and distance, was never truly severed.
