LILY & MAX

Like many modern love stories, ours began on a dating app.

​

We chatted on and off for a while, but nothing really seemed to be going anywhere… until the playoff weekend. Because, of course, it all comes back to ice hockey... have you met us?

​

A few days before the weekend, the person who was supposed to buy my spare ticket pulled out at the last minute. I was less than impressed, so I messaged Max to vent.

 

His response?

 

“My mum loves hockey. She’d love the ticket. Here’s her number…”

​

Yes, really.

​

So, before I’d even been on a date with the man, I was texting his mum to sell her my spare playoff ticket. Then came her final message:

​

“One last thing… it’s actually a surprise for Max, so please don’t tell him.”

​

Somehow, I’d ended up in on a surprise with his mum before I’d even met him.

Two days later, playoff weekend arrived. Max finished work, came to meet me for the game, and the surprise was revealed. We spent the weekend together, and from that moment on, the rest really was history.

​

It hasn’t actually been that long, but somehow it feels like we’ve known each other forever.

​

Since that first hockey game, we’ve shared countless adventures together—travelling, music festivals, new experiences, plenty more hockey, and all the ordinary little moments in between that have become our favourites.

​

Now, we’re starting our greatest adventure yet, and we couldn’t imagine celebrating it without the people we love most.

​

Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with you.
