Craig & Jenna's Story

Jenna and Craig met at the Calgary Marriott Hotel in the fall of 2002. Craig was a cook and Jenna a banquet server. They were friends for over a year and would go out to clubs every weekend with their crew from work and have a good time.

Jenna asked Craig to go to a celebrity/old timer hockey game in March of 2004 and the sparks flew. The day after the game Jenna went over to Craig’s for a lasagna dinner and to watch WWE Raw as Craig is a big fan and she wanted to see what the big deal was. She put up with the show and was a hockey fan, which meant she was a keeper.

They dated for 4 years and Craig finally decided to propose to Jenna. In the fall of 2008 Jenna went on a 1 month European trip, her last stop being Paris. Craig found her itinerary and planned the proposal.

On Oct 5th, 2008 Craig flew from Toronto, where he was visiting family to Paris and surprised Jenna at her hotel and proposed. They spent another week in Europe and came home, only to find out 10 weeks later that Jenna was pregnant. On July 22nd, 2009 Jenna and Craig welcomed Annabelle Margaret D’Cruze into the world, she is truly a blessing.

On March 1st, 2010 Jenna received a phone call from Vibe 98.5 saying that she won the Powder Brides $50,000 wedding. Jenna and Craig will be getting married May 11th, 2010 at Sunshine Village and are more than ready to finally be married and bring in a new exciting Chapter into their lives in Calgary.
