Kananaskis Wedding Photographer | Patrick & Jessica’s Adventure Elopement

In high school, I got his crossword to solve in Social Studies. One of the clues didn’t make sense, so

 I went to his desk to ask him about it [tell him he’d done it wrong]. Surprisingly, we didn’t immediately

become friends.

It wasn’t until university that we got to talking at a party held by a mutual friend, and soon

after he asked me out with a poem.

I happen to notice this pretty girl in my class in high school that my friends would hangout with

in art class. At the time she was off the market and we had only one exchange. We both had each

other’s crossword puzzle, and I managed to stump her with mine. She came over to my desk, said this crossword is

dumb (because she couldn’t finish it) and left.

The next time I would encounter my future wife would be at a house party. My friend asked me

to come over, and generally I would not have gone. But for some reason a force had pulled me towards going

and I did. My friend the whole time was telling me to talk to this girl, and low and behold

it was Jessica. We chatted the whole night, and at one point ended up on the top of a shed

roof looking at the stars together.

Following this we went on our “first date” depending who you ask. It involved teaching

Jessica to drive manual on my ’87 Honda Accord. Following a few stalls at a stop sign, we decided that

we would go get Peter’s Drive In to have a milk shake and overlook the city. I remember looking

into her eyes with the sun setting, talking about many interesting topics, and knowing that

this was really someone special to me.

The next time we would meet would be at a pub with our friends following a concert. She happened

to be driving everyone home and I insisted on being the last one dropped off. I asked her to stop by a field

in my neighborhood that I had frequented as a young adult with a nice view of the stars and field.

Here I planned to ask her via a poem I had written. I thought I could memorize it and recite it, but two

lines in I forgot what I had written. I proceeded to try and kiss her, with her response

being “What do you think you’re doing!?”. Then she asked me out, which was great.
