"The Virtue of Patience - Waiting for the Right One" | Joey + Margaux

Who says you can’t meet your life partner at a bar! They obviously weren’t at the Roxy that Halloween night back in 1998 when Joey and Margaux paths first crossed. Joey is the lead singer in the band “Joe’s Garage”, was dressed as a scary zombie, and Margaux was a young beautiful googly-eyed admirer in the crowd with her friend dressed as gangsters. Margaux was too shy to go and talk with Joey, but luckily he came over and chatted them up with a line “You’re the hottest gangsters I’ve ever seen” then ran away!

They were both clearly a bit smitten with each other!

The seed was planted but it wouldn’t blossom for many many years later. One Canada long weekend Joey happened to be playing in the Okanagan Valley and Margaux was there with her friends. After the show they happened to find themselves alone for a brief moment, and that’s when the first kiss happened! From that moment on their relationship started to sprout.

Some of their fondest memories looking back include their first kiss, a magical Vegas weekend full of amazing shows, delectable meals and a lucky streak at the tables that won enough to pay for the whole trip plus some and Joey’s proposal. Many moons after Margaux first laid eyes on Joey the memorable moment arrived. They were out for a family brunch celebrating Margaux’s birthday – Joey had given her all of her presents but he had one more waiting back at their apartment. The anticipation and excitement overtook him and he couldn’t wait any longer, he asked her over to the window overlooking the city and proposed!

It was very intimate and special as it was just the two of them in their beloved home.

. Many tears were shed (they are criers lol). When deciding on where to get married it was a no-brainer, all they had were a few simple ingredients; sun, turquoise waters and white sand! They had both been to Mexico many times and wanted somewhere new – after researching different countries they decided on the breathtaking Dominican Republic. The wedding was held at the perfect venue called “Jellyfish”, right on the ocean, private and intimate – it helped set the stage for wedding of their dreams while surrounded by family and friends.
