After meeting on the Canada line three years ago, this couple's relationship came full circle.

Most people won't think of the SkyTrain as the most romantic spot in Vancouver, but for some, Cupid's arrow hits them where they least expect it.

Jeff and Nathaly Nairn met on a train as they rode the Canada Line three years ago.

Instead of burying their heads in their phones, they chatted.

And well, the rest is history.

The couple tied the knot at Waterfront station (on the Expo Line) on Thursday in the presence of friends, family, a band and of course, strangers riding the train. 

"I married the man of my dreams, that's really the most important," she said.

"I could have been in my house in my backyard doing it, and I would have been just as happy."

The couple says TransLink was game for the idea from the moment they approached them with the unusual request.
