We are, The Global Snowbirds - Meagan (34) & Justin (35), from Vancouver BC, Canada. We're just two crazy 'kids' deeply in love with each other, traveling, camping, and all things adventure!
Our Story & How We Met
We were both born in Ontario - Meagan in Stratford, and Justin in Toronto. Meagan moved to Vancouver at the age of 7, and Justin at the age of 8. However, we did not meet until our late teens, but have been together ever since. You can basically call us, 'high school sweethearts'.
We met on a Friday night in the winter of 2008, at Justin's apartment. I (Meagan) was hanging out with my friend (Justin's roommate at the time) at their place because he just moved in with him, and wanted to show me his new digs. Later in the evening, Justin came home from work - we locked eyes, and instantly fell in love at first sight. However, it wasn't until, March 1st, 2009, that we became, 'official'. As the saying goes, the rest is history! We have now been together for 13 years, and married for 7.
On our 5 year anniversary on March 1st, 2014, Justin proposed to me at Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver, over a 'winter' campfire - I say that because it started snowing, which was absolutely magical (it never snows during that time of year)!

Luckily enough I (Meagan) had experience with wedding planning as I had my own business, Sea to Sky Weddings & Events, therefore, the planning for our wedding was effortless. I also worked at a wedding venue in Vancouver, as a wedding coordinator, which was where we actually got married. Fast forward about a year and a half later, we tied the knot on Saturday, August 29th 2015.
