In the enchanted month of May 2016, love sparkled at Hannawa Falls Beach, casting its spell on Matoaka and Rob. Their first date at the 1844 House unfolded with Matoaka's youthful charm, replacing wine with a shared steak. Little did she know, her mom's warning about strangers on the beach didn't deter her from hopping into the very stranger's truck she was supposed to avoid, after dubbing him a "creeper" to her mom.

The plot thickened as Matoaka, in a whimsical twist, transformed into the "creeper," armed with a camera, capturing Rob's beach shenanigans and then camping out on a 5-story building the next night with a friend for good measure. Move over Hollywood, this love story is writing itself! (Photo Evidence Below!)

Amidst the rollercoaster of parenthood, Matoaka earned her badge as the endearing "momsicle." The family grew with the lively additions of Ella and Aleigha, now the dynamic duo found cheering at the hockey rink, with Matoaka mastering the art of yelling "Go team!" without mortifying her kids too much.

While juggling family antics, Matoaka weaves her magic in early childhood education at Norwood Norfolk School, keeping a mother hen's watchful eye on the little ones.

Eight years of adventures include wild rides on snowmobiles, boat escapades, and mastering the art of parenting. As they stand on the brink of their wedding day, Matoaka and Rob eagerly await the next chapter, armed with laughter, love, and the certainty that their journey is the stuff romantic comedies are made of. Cue the confetti!
