BD/MS are our initials.
We are Brigitte Demers and Martin Settle.
We met in October, 2018, and have been building a life together since. We moved in togeter in March 2020, just two weeks before a global pandemic confined us to our new shared home. It worked, for us!
Brigitte asked Marti to marry him later that same year, and we celebrated our wedding with family and friends in October, 2022.
We live in Gatineau, Québec, Canada.
We have a dog, Haïku, who is featured on the home page of our website.
We like to stay active: running (when our aging bodies permit), walking, skiing, snowshoeing, cycling, playing badminton, and swimming.
