About the Couple
Bride: Leah Sookhan
Groom: Daivin Macdonald
Occupations: Leah is a marketing specialist and Daivin is an information technology auditor.
How they met: They worked at the same clothing store in the mall. Totally against her style, Leah introduced herself to Daivin and has been trying to get his attention ever since.
Fave date: Daivin and Leah planned a candlelight picnic in the winter, and they ate hot dogs, French fries, coleslaw and ice cream bars. It's now an annual tradition.
What attracted her to him: “Daivin made my heart beat fast.”
What attracted him to her: “When Leah looked at me, I felt like I was the only person in the room.”
Engagement story: Leah and Daivin were engaged on Sunday August 10th, 2008 at Beaudry Park just outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Daivin planned a night under the stars as a surprise for Leah. The largest meteor shower of the year was happening that night, and Daivin hoped Leah would experience her first falling star. The night was cloudy and Daivin was nervous that they might not be able to see a falling star. Much like their relationship, fate intervened and they saw two of them. Daivin had planned to say many romantic things to Leah, however all he could manage was “Let's get married.” After taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Daivin was able to ask the question the way he originally wanted it to come out. Leah was speechless (and she still is) but was very excited to say “Yes.”
Words they live by: Let your life be your message and live every day with clear eyes and a full heart.

When did you first start dating? I think this is such a cute story.
