01 · OUR STORY

A love story like no other.

What started with a lucky Bumble match in late 2020 became the adventure of a lifetime.

Tyler and Laura's story began in late 2020 with a lucky match on Bumble that quickly turned into something special. Their first date, a dinner on the campus of University of British Columbia, happened soon after and they instantly felt a genuine connection.

Soon after, Tyler took Laura to the Festival of Lights at VanDusen Botanical Garden. After an enchanting evening, they shared sushi downtown at Ebisu, a magical night that marked the beginning of their journey together.

They spent almost every day of the next two months together getting to know each other, while their love only grew.

…And then COVID hit. Laura returned to Brazil for the next eight months, resulting in a time filled with countless Snapchats, late-night video calls, and lots of text messages. It was challenging being long-distance in such a new relationship but we both knew it was worth it.

When Laura returned to Canada in late 2020, Tyler set out to show her everything he loved about Western Canada, from hiking mountains, exploring lakes, camping, and all the beauty in between.

After Laura's graduation from the University of British Columbia in 2022, it was her turn to introduce Tyler to the beauty and warmth of her culture, in Brazil.

Since then, they've made it their mission to see as much of the world together as possible, creating unforgettable memories along the way. All while building a beautiful life together in Vancouver. And embracing the joy of sharing each other's cultures.

In September of 2025, we took a big leap and moved in together.

Then, on January 5, 2026, Tyler proposed during the Festival of Lights at the VanDusen Botanical Gardens, a truly magical return to where our story first began.

Tyler and Laura now wish to share this journey with you all, in Rio De Janeiro!

05 · TRAVEL

Getting to Rio de Janeiro.

Most of our guests will be traveling from Canada. Here's everything you need to know to make the journey as smooth as possible.

Vancouver (YVR) → Rio de Janeiro (GIG)

September 2026

Below are some of the best flight options currently available for travel from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro in September 2026.

There are currently no nonstop flights between Vancouver and Rio de Janeiro, so the best options involve one connection.

Recommended Options

1. United Airlines — via Houston (IAH)

Route: Vancouver → Houston → Rio de Janeiro

Approximate travel time: 16–19 hours

Indicative round-trip fare: from approximately US$888, depending on the dates.

This is currently one of the most attractive options in terms of price and overall itinerary, with only one connection.


2. American Airlines — via Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW)

Route: Vancouver → Dallas/Fort Worth → Rio de Janeiro

Approximate travel time: 14–16 hours

This is one of the fastest one-stop options and is worth considering when the fare is competitive.


3. Air Canada / United — via Houston (IAH)

Route: Vancouver → Houston → Rio de Janeiro

Approximate travel time: around 19 hours on some itineraries.

This can be a convenient alternative, particularly depending on the departure time and connection.


Indicative Pricing

Current fares vary significantly depending on the exact travel dates.

Some September dates are currently showing round-trip fares around:

US$888 – CAD 1,293+

Other dates may be considerably more expensive.

Airfares are dynamic and can change at any time, so the final price and availability should be confirmed at the time of booking.

Our Recommendation

For a traveler coming to Rio de Janeiro for a wedding or special event, I would prioritize:

• One connection only

• Reasonable connection time

• Total travel time

• Reliable airlines

• Good baggage allowance

• Flexible fare conditions

• Competitive pricing

At the moment, United via Houston appears to offer a particularly good balance between price and convenience, while American via Dallas/Fort Worth is an attractive alternative when minimizing total travel time is the priority.

For an exact recommendation, the specific travel dates should be confirmed, as prices and schedules vary throughout September.
