Jenn and Rob first met, as co-workers, while working at a local brew pub, in 2003. They had mixed first impressions of each other. Rob thought Jenn was a cute, funny girl to work with – while Jenn thought Rob was a bit of a jerk as he was always on her case about how she was serving the tables!
They didn’t reconnect for another 8 years when Rob asked Jenn out on a date – although Rob contests that, saying it was just a catch up.“I wasn’t asking with the intention of a date – but we had really good connection and sparks flew!” From then on they were a couple.
During the next four years they created many great moments together; their trips to Victoria, Portland, California, and a family cabin on the Gulf Islands. One of Jenn’s most memorable moments, was after returning from a trip to Sedona, Arizona, …after returning from a trip to Sedona, Jenn finally mustered up the courage to tell Rob that she loved him!

Their biggest and most exciting memory was after a hike up Cypress Mountain to Eagle Bluffs. They had decided to do the hike to help Jenn train for a 3-day hike that she had planned. Rob had a different agenda, he was going to propose at the top of the mountain!! To celebrate her “YES” (he was quite confident), he decided to bring a bottle of wine on the hike. Jenn thought it was quite odd as it was a 3-hour hike! Not very far into the hike, Jenn noticed that Rob kept rushing her up the mountain and was getting annoyed as the pack was so heavy! Little did Jenn know that Rob’s nervousness and excitement were because he wanted to get to the top as quickly as possible! Once they finally reached the top Rob wasn’t sure if he was going to go through with his proposal as there were so many people and crowds. He was nervous and there wasn’t a quieter place nearby so he finally plucked up his courage and got down on bended knee and proposed. Complete silence followed –
