    Vancouver is a seaport in British Columbia. While the city is not known for romance, the activities it boasts will make for a great trip for you and your significant other.

    It’s known for its seafood and outdoor recreation. But, there is much more to this bustling, diverse city.

    Here are some activities you should try with your partner on your next trip to Vancouver:

    – Capilano Suspension Bridge 

    For those couples who believe that seeking thrills together strengthens the bond, this one’s for you. The 70m high suspension bridge will have your knees weak as your make your way across. Not exactly the reason you may have expected to be weak at the knees on a romantic trip, but a great experience nonetheless.

    – VanDusen Botanical Garden Hedge Maze

    Get lost with your love in the hedge maze. A light and fun activity to bring out the playful side of your relationship. The garden itself is a tourist attraction, so this is a two-for-one type of activity too!

    – Snow sports at Grouse Mountain 

    From skiing to snowboarding, or simply having a snowball fight, Grouse Mountain could be a full day activity.

    – Ice-skating at Robson Square 

    There’s no way you could take a trip to Canada without doing some ice-skating. Enjoy one of the classic date activities on your romantic getaway.

    – Bacio Rosso 

    Cabaret, comedy, and gourmet food.  There’s nothing like luxury and entertainment to make your romantic getaway one for the books. You’ll be seated in the middle of the action, surrounded by jugglers, contortionists, magicians, singers and more. All of this is combined with a 4-course menu. It’ll be a feast for all your senses.

    They say that when you know, you know. This young couple are making headlines after getting hitched a mere two weeks after meeting.

    According to Twitter user Yeyethu Baballo, two unnamed first-year students from Rhodes University in Grahamstown tied the knot on March 4, 2020, after being in a relationship for only two weeks. The pair tied the knot at the local Home Affairs office.

    Love at first sight must be real, after all!
