Sasha and Jason met in 2017 at Vancouver Island University. Jason’s crush was obvious — he thought she was adorable, even if a little shy. One science lab made it clear, as he trailed her from tank to tank, helping identify every species of fish just to be near her.

They started out as friends, hiking and studying together. Sasha wasn’t looking for anything serious, but she soon fell for Jason’s goofy charm, rugged hobbies, and good looks — while Jason fell for Sasha's signature “meep morp” noises and her knack for maximizing coziness and experiences in life.

Over the years, they have explored both front country and backcountry. From cocktails in Banff and Tacos in Golden, to float plane accessed hikes in Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Park, they have road tripped, canoed, hiked, snowshoed and skied their way through almost eight amazing years together.

Sasha and Jason have been there for each other when things have not gone as planned. When Jason broke his leg, suffered a concussion, and then broke his collarbone all in short order, Sasha was there to support him and motivate him. When Sasha’s dad passed away Jason became her anchor, supporting her, and understanding when she needed a puppy to keep going. His love, patience, and presence helped her navigate one of the hardest times of her life.

In 2024, Sasha and Jason bought their first home in Smithers, BC. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and rolling hay fields, they couldn’t be happier calling the small mountain town home. From lazy summer evenings on the river and daylight until almost midnight, to cross country skiing with the dog and cozy board game nights with friends, Sasha and Jason have found their place as adults in life.

Through adventures, injuries, cozy evenings, and life’s biggest challenges, Sasha and Jason have grown into true best friends — partners who laugh, explore, and choose each other every day. They are excited to host friends and family to celebrate their connection and future.
