Some love stories start with a spark — but Chadalyn and Russell’s began with friendship and a driving lesson. The two first met in high school back in 2011, and not long after, Russell was the one teaching Chadalyn how to drive. It didn’t take long before they realized what they had was something special.

Through the years, their story has been filled with laughter, adventure, and plenty of memories — including their shared love for going mudding (though Russell still loves to remind her about the time she almost ran him over). In 2021, their greatest adventure began when they welcomed their beautiful daughter into the world, making their bond even stronger.

In the fall — Chadalyn’s favorite season — Russell proposed at Dufferin Islands in Niagara Falls, surrounded by the beauty of mini waterfalls and autumn colors. After 14 wonderful years together, they said “I do” at Drakewood Farm on September 25, 2025, and began the next chapter of their forever love story.
