Our Story
In the beautiful campus of UBC Vancouver, we were both finishing our final in-person year for our degrees when our story together began.
First Met
2023-09-21We both joined University Christian Ministries, a club of Christians that meet together on Thursday nights, and Sarah was walking with her friends to Rain or Shine (the best ice cream spot on campus). And on the 21st of September, Rylan enthusiastically joined Sarah and her friend’s conversation about the best Coldplay songs…even though he knew nothing about Coldplay. Henceforth, our friendship began.
First Date
2023-12-02The day after starting the month enjoying the UBC Orchestra with their friends, Rylan asked Sarah the next morning if she wanted to go on a date…they went that night. We ate Breka (as Sarah is a renowned Brekaholic) and walked around the Lafarge Lights caught up in conversation and each other's company for hours.
Made it Official
2023-12-16We took a picture together in front of an Old Spaghetti advertisement at the Stanley Park Bright Nights on our third date, and that’s when we knew it’s time to make it official. Only slightly kidding…we had to explore Christmas in downtown Vancouver first, and then we announced it to the families after the drive back to Carey Hall.
Got Engaged
2024-09-07Rylan booked a morning high tea in Kerrisdale and did not finish his food…suspicious. We then took a lovely walk around Pacific Spirit park, a spontaneous swim at Spanish Banks, and made our way to Nitobe Gardens (a Japanese garden at UBC) where Rylan proposed in a special spot of the garden, and the groundskeeper took the best engagement photos
