Haylee and Drew’s love story began in 2019 at Carleton University, where they were finishing up their final year in University.

If you ask Drew there are a variety of stories on how they met, one including Haylee asking Drew to pretend to be her boyfriend because a man was harassing her at the downtown Rideau Metro (Ottawa folks will understand), and he's just been pretending since.

Their first date was on a rainy Thursday evening at a cozy little coffee shop near campus called Happy Goat. You could say their love was brewing because just a few days later, they found themselves on another date, this time sipping bubble tea.

Once they both graduated (during a pandemic none-the-less), they decided to take jobs close to home, and moved in together downtown Toronto.
