This photo of Sylvia Joyce and her husband was taken three years ago on their golden wedding anniversary. Their three sons arranged for the Royal Yacht in Vancouver to take family and friends on a trip up Indian Arm. With a meal on board, music and more, it was a very special day for the couple.
It's not the photo that's special, it's the man... Jennifer Sim-Chisholm says when she was 17 she thought Darren Chisholm was the guy for her, and every year she says she falls more madly in love with him. Twenty-one years later and she says they are still passionately in love.
This photo is of Chris and Shauna Dunnett on the dock at Sturdies Bay on Galiano Island last September. It was a perfect ending to a very sad day - they were there for a memorial service.

Diane Chubb got engaged to husband Jamie in Mexico in 2004. As he got down on one knee to pop the big question, his sandals were nearly taken out to sea. The couple still laughs about that to this day. They love going back to Mexico to enjoy the sunshine and drink cold Coronas on the beach.

Laura Wasylyshen says the photo is special to her because her sweetheart had just proposed less than two weeks before and because it was her birthday. She calls it her "engagement-birthday romantic photo," which was snapped last month.
