Some love stories don’t start with fireworks or fairytales… they begin at work, with a little annoyance, a military injury, and a Hunter Hayes song. This is the real and raw journey of Dana and Matthew, a couple whose bond grew from friendship into a love strong enough to last a lifetime.

What started with Dana thinking Matthew was “kind of annoying” blossomed into something neither of them could have predicted. After a message during his military bedrest and a spontaneous exchange of feelings, they both said “let’s get married” — not in a grand proposal, but in a moment that felt perfectly them.

On their 8th anniversary, they chose to seal their love in one of the most breathtaking places on earth — Banff National Park. With snow-kissed peaks, fresh mountain air, and just the two of them (no pets, no crowd — just love), Dana and Matthew were introduced for the first time as husband and wife.

There were no grand speeches, no one to “give away” the bride — just two souls who have already been giving their all to each other for years.

Dana loves Matthew’s sense of humour and the way he treats her like no one else ever has. Matthew? Well, according to Dana, “he loves everything about me, haha.” 😄

Their elopement day was captured by the talented team at Tanan Banff Elopements, who handled planning, filming, and photography — delivering a magical, stress-free experience in the heart of the Rockies.

Watch their emotional day unfold, filled with laughter, quiet moments, mountain views, and the kind of love that doesn’t need fancy words to be felt.

✨ Sometimes, not planning is the most perfect plan of all. ✨

🎶 Song that started it all: “Wanted” by Hunter Hayes
