Ethan & Liana Vance
“From a Quiet Coffee Debate to Wedding Bells in the Canadian Rockies”
Banff, AB, Canada • September 2025
Celebrated their marriage in an intimate ceremony overlooking Lake Louise in Banff, Alberta. They now live in Calgary with their golden retriever, Barnaby.
“We both had almost given up on conventional apps until SetWed. The compatibility algorithm connected our relationship based on our core life values and love for peaceful mountain getaways. Within two weeks of talking, we knew this wasn't just another date—it was our lifelong partner.”
Our Journey to Forever
Story Chapters
First Spark
Ethan was a product designer in Calgary, and Liana was a pediatric nurse. Both were exhausted by superficial swipes and ghosting on casual apps. When SetWed launched in early 2024, they signed up hoping for intentional conversation. Their 98% relationship compatibility score highlighted shared priorities: mountain exploration, family values, and a mutual obsession with artisan pour-over coffee.
The Turning Point
Their first date was scheduled for an artisan coffee in downtown Banff. That quick coffee stretched into a 4-hour walk along the Bow River trail, talking about childhood memories, philosophical dilemmas, and what genuine partnership means in modern life. By date three, Ethan deleted all other apps.
The Proposal
Sixteen months later, during a sunset weekend hike along the high alpine trails of Banff Sunshine Meadows, Ethan surprised Liana with a custom ethical diamond ring. With the Rocky Mountain peaks glowing gold, he asked her to spend the rest of their lives building their shared dreams. Through joyful tears, she said yes before he could even finish the question.
The Wedding Day
In September 2025, Ethan and Liana gathered 85 of their closest friends and family at a historic lodge overlooking Lake Louise, Alberta. It was an intimate, heartfelt celebration infused with golden sunset light, live acoustic music, and personal vows that celebrated their journey from strangers to soulmates.
