A Pandemic Love Story (That Started Online)

Rachel and Len met online during the pandemic a modern love story if we’ve ever heard one. What started as a simple connection quickly turned into something bigger. Soon enough, they were nearly inseparable. Len eventually proposed during an epic mountain-top hike in Peru, which honestly feels very on-brand for a couple who believes love is something you actively choose every single day. And that belief? It showed up in every detail of their wedding.

A Thoughtful, Intimate Wedding Day

Rather than packing their day with traditions that didn t feel like them, Rachel and Len focused on moments that mattered. They skipped the bouquet toss and wedding cake and instead chose to do a first look at the historic University Club of Toronto giving them a quiet moment together before the celebration began. It also meant they could spend more of the day exactly how they wanted: side by side. Their ceremony took place at Knox College in Toronto, officiated by a close friend who brought the perfect mix of warmth, humour, and personal storytelling. The result? A ceremony that felt deeply meaningful and uniquely theirs.
