Jake and Shelly’s love story started with a swipe

It all started online and after days of delightful conversations, they decided to meet at a Starbucks in the city. However, fate had a little fun with them—Jake and Shelly found themselves at two different Starbucks, on opposite ends of the city. But this minor mix-up was no match for their determination to finally meet IRL. 

Jake was everything Shelly had dreamed of in a husband. His humour, his ability to make her feel safe, and his capacity to laugh at his own mistakes made her fall head over heels. For Jake, Shelly’s kind and genuine nature captivated him. She was not only beautiful but also the epitome of goodness. Their bond only grew stronger with time, marked by continuous growth and shared adventures.



From beach adventures to hiking with their beloved dog Gizmo, Jake and Shelly's life together has been a series of joyous moments. Their shared love for discovering new and amazing restaurants and their simple yet profound enjoyment of each other’s company at home are testaments to their deep connection. Each moment spent together, whether filled with laughter or quiet companionship, has solidified their relationship.
