Case Reynolds

Case was born in Ottawa, Ontario. He is the middle child of Phil and Mardi. Case moved to Kingston in the fall of 2008, where he began his undergraduate studies at Queen’s University while playing for the Gaels in 2009. Case completed his Bachelors of Arts and returned to Ottawa where he began his career as a Personal Trainer. Wanting to further explore his interests in teaching, Case enrolled in Teachers College at the University of Ottawa. Since the spring of 2016 Case has been inspiring the minds of the future as an Ottawa Catholic School Board teacher. Case also takes great joy in being the Assistant Head Coach of the Junior Gee-Gees, which is part of the Ontario Provincial Football league.

Amy Marie Joann

Amy was born in Belleville, Ontario. She is the eldest daughter of Bob and Wendy. She moved to Ottawa in the fall of 2008, where she began her undergraduate studies at the University of Ottawa. Amy completed her Honours Bachelors of Commerce with specializations in Finance and Accounting and converted a co-op placement at the Canada Revenue Agency into a full-time permanent position. Since 2010 Amy has worked in a variety of branches with some pretty amazing people, which has led her to her current position as a Financial Resource Analyst.

Love is patient, love is kind

Our Love Story

First Message

November 22, 2014

We embraced the new age of dating, and met online using the very well known app Plenty of Fish. We highly recommend. And no this is not a paid advertisement.

First Date

December 4, 2014

Case was Amy’s very first “online” date. And it very much lived up to the stereotype. Our first date was at Starbucks, and it may not surprise most of you but Case ordered a “Medium.” Besides this slip up, we very much clicked right from the beginning. Amy likes to think beginner’s luck was on her side!

First “I Love You”

May 21, 2015

May Long Weekend. Late at night. Cuddling on the apartment balcony, Case whispered in Amy’s ear “I love you” as fireworks were going off over TD Place Stadium.

First Apartment Together

December 5, 2015

Things are getting serious!! On an extremely cold day in December, Case moved from the quiet suburbs of Fallowfield to the somewhat close to downtown Riverside. And the splitting of bills began. Besides Case’s socks being found everywhere around the house, the transition went smoothly.

First Christmas Together

December 25, 2016

We couldn’t bear to be apart! Our first Christmas photo of our own little family!

Proposal

February 4, 2017

On a frozen and cold winter night up at the Cottage, Case asked Amy to go for a walk before dinner. With a flashlight in hand they walked down to the beach. As they were about to step out onto the frozen lake, Case started to flash the flashlight across the lake and into Amy’s eyes. Little did she know, but this was “The Signal.” As Amy walked onto the ice, fireworks exploded into the sky from the middle of the lake. As Amy turned back, Case dropped to one knee and asked her to spend forever with him. She said YES!

First Trip Together

August 14, 2017

Off to visit Amy’s sister in Penticton, BC. Where we discovered our love of wine and hiking.
Ain’t no mountain high enough, to keep me from getting to you babe

Getting Married

December 1, 2018

Bride Tribe

Bobbi Maid of Honour

Bobbi is Amy’s younger, but definitely wiser sister. Best friends since ‘92. A nature enthusiast and talented ultrasound technician. Officially an Ontario resident again, after returning from Penticton, BC. Bobbi is loved for her huge heart, caring nature, quick wit and dry sense of humour.

Cassie Bridesmaid

Amy met Cassie in the hallways of Bayside Secondary School during the fall of 2004. Realizing just how small towns can be, they learned that their families had been friends for years through the Frankford Old Timer Hockey League. Cassie is Amy’s go to adviser and favourite gym buddy.

Doug Bridesman

Affectionately known as Amy’s spirit husband. Doug met Amy while completing his Bronze Medallion in the fall of 2004. Bonding over swimming and their sarcastic/twisted sense of humours, Amy and Doug have been inseparable since their high-school years.

Shilan Bridesmaid

Amy met Shilan, on her first day as a Financial Analyst in the summer of 2016. They did not bond over their shared TV interests or selected working hours. However they did fall in love over their shared interests in food, drinks, drama, memes, and work. Shilan is the life of the party, burst of energy and glass of honesty that we all need.

Nikki Bridesmaid

Amy met Nikki during the summer of 2015, while the planning of Cassie’s wedding was in full swing. Amy and Nikki always say that they’re high school friends, because it feels like they’ve known each other for years. Nikki is always on the go; travelling the world is her passion. She is Amy and Case’s go to for all things travel or coffee related.

Emma Bridesmaid

Emma is Case’s younger sister. She is the definition of energy; our little firecracker. A football enthusiast and budding cook, Emma has always been known for her love of animals, vitality and tenacity. Expect to see Emma on the dance floor.

Wendy & Bob Parents of the Bride

Bob and Wendy have been happily married for 33 years, and share two beautiful daughters (Amy & Bobbi). They live and work in Belleville, Ontario. They first met Case when he had long hair. So clearly Case has quite the charming personality.

Linda Honorary Bridesmaid

Linda first made her entrance in the summer of 2014. She is the most social, cuddly and ungraceful kitty a couple could ask for. Full of personality, our lives wouldn’t be the same without this orange ball of fluff. Fun fact - Case told Linda he loved her, before he told Amy.

groomsmen

Phil Jr. Best Man

Phil is Case’s older brother. A gym enthusiast and accomplished commercial steel framer. He was always there to push Case whether it was playing catch outside and throwing the ball a little further or teaching him how to lift. Phil is best known for his quick wit, sarcasm and smokey personality.

Vince Best Man

Being best friends since kindergarten as well as childhood neighbours, it’s safe to say Vince knowns Case better than anyone. Case and Vince bond over their love for the Buffalo Bills and shared aspirations for teaching and coaching. Vince is Case’s go to confidante and definitely the calmer of the two.

Andrew Groomsman

Case met Andrew during high school. He is most commonly known as Hof. He is an inspiring chef and Case’s go-to partner in crime. He is LEGEND…. Wait for it…. DARY. Expect to see him suited up!

Johnny Groomsman

Friends since high school, and Case’s fellow dutchman. Case and Johnny bonded over their love for playing sports, board games and using the force. No matter what you can always count on Johnny, whether it be for comedic relief or... to rescue you in the Rockies when your rental car breaks down in the middle of nowhere.

Darcy Groomsman

Case met Darcy during freshman year at Queens. They bonded over doing their assignments last minute and the beers that caused them to excel as procrastinators. Darcy is one of Case’s biggest cheerleaders and is loved for his easy-going nature and unique bearded chuckle.

Robin Groomsman

Case met Robin during his tenure as a personal trainer at Movati Athletic. They surprisingly did not bond over working out, but rather over beers, old fashions and massive chunks of steak. Robin is the technology genius behind our wedding, and Case’s favourite cocktail mixing buddy. Please do not say the word “shots” around this guy. You have been warned.

Phil & Mardi Parents of the Groom

Phil and Mardi have been happily married for 32 years, and share three children (Junior, Case & Emma). They live and primarily work in Ottawa, Ontario. When Phil isn’t away on business, he and Mardi can always be found at their favourite spot, their cottage on Paugh Lake.

Matt Master of Ceremonies

Case and Matt have been friends since high school. They bonded over their love for fantasy football and Bruce Springsteen. Matt is known for being the mysterious, yet sarcastic quiet one. Expect to see his quick wit and twisted sense of humour showcased during his MC duties.

Carson Master of Ceremonies

Case met Carson during high school. If you thought Case had energy, he does not hold a stick to this energizer bunny. Professional ultimate frisbee player and impassioned research technician. Carson is always there to listen and offer a friendly smile. He’s known for his energy, sense of humour and loyalty, which we’re expecting to see showcased during his MC duties.

JD DJ

Amy and Case met JD through Cassie. When JD isn’t killing it as a salesman, he can be found whipping up something delicious in the kitchen. Awesome father to two boys, Kyle and Andy. JD is known for his gentle nature and hilarious jokes. JD will be the heart beat of the party by bringing his years of experience as a radio producer.

Kyle & Andy Honorary Buddies

Sons of Cassie and JD Brown. Kyle is the rambunctious, sweet little 4 year old boy who affectionately refers to Amy as May May and Case as Buddy. Our entourage would not be complete without our Buddy Kyle being part of the big day. Andy, the newest arrival. Is the apple of everyone’s eye and sure to warm everyone up, on a cold December day with his bubbly baby laugh.
