Search for newly engaged couple photographed in Queen Elizabeth Park comes to happy ending

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — It’s a happy ending for a local Valentine’s day mystery.

Vancouver Park Board commissioner, Tricia Barker, was at Queen Elizabeth Park Saturday night when she took a picture of a pair that had just gotten engaged.

“In front of [the Bloedel Conservatory] was this beautiful lit sign that said ‘marry me’ and all these little fake candles and a couple there. And he had just proposed to her,” Barker explains. “They were trying to get a picture of them in the city. So I took a picture of them.”

Barker wished them well and they headed off, promising to text the photo to the pair.

It was only until later on that she realized she had taken down the wrong number.

So, Barker took to Twitter where she asked the public to help connect her with them

“I have this picture of them, and they really liked it when I showed it to them. And I would just love to be able to get the picture to them in the city and what they look like right after they decided to marry each other,” she says.

And a little while later, someone did reach out to Barker, tweeting, “Hi Tricia, this is a friend if [sic] mine. I will forward the photo to them. Thanks for taking it!”

“It’s really lovely to see this kind of stuff still going on. We’re in the middle of a pandemic and people are still falling in love and deciding to get married, so it was a lovely moment,” Barker adds.
