Rob Mikaela
AND
ARE GETTING MARRIED!
Halifax, Nova Scotia
08.29.26
Halifax. The Cable Wharf. Us. You.
Rob and Mikaela are tying the knot in the city where it all began — beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Rob and Mikaela met in 2017 at work. He was a co-op student, and she had just joined the team after graduation. Despite their best efforts, they weren’t exactly subtle about falling in love with a co-worker.
Their office romance was short (just three months before Rob’s work term wrapped up), but it was enough to change everything. Not long after, they moved into their first place together: a downtown Halifax apartment with lots of charm and a kitchen roughly the size of a shoebox. It didn’t matter; they loved their little life there and stayed for nearly seven years.
A leap of faith brought them to St. John’s, Newfoundland, where they bought their first home and built a new life with their most prized possession — their cat, Nora.
Then, on a magical day in Toronto on November 20, 2024, Rob proposed to Mikaela. It was the best day of their lives. Now, they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of their lives with all of you!
