Get it sent to your inbox.If you have heard of \u201cThe 36 Questions That Lead to Love,\u201d you may already know the story of Mandy Len Catron and Mark Janusz Bondyra\u2019s first date.Ms. Catron wrote about it in an essay, \u201cTo Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This,\u201d which was published in the Modern Love column of this newspaper in 2015. In the piece, she described how she and Mr. Bondyra, an acquaintance at the time, had replicated a scientific experiment \u201cdesigned to create romantic love.\u201d They asked each other 36 increasingly personal questions, and then stared into each other\u2019s eyes for four minutes.The article became one of the most-read stories on The New York Times\u2019s website that year, and continues to be widely read. The 36 questions \u2014 from a 1997 study by the psychologist Arthur Aron (and others) \u2014 spun into a phenomenon of their own, with countless duos trying them out. In Ms. Catron\u2019s story, many readers found an irresistible premise: a kind of formula for falling in love.As someone who researches and writes about romantic love and relationships, Ms. Catron was \u2014 and still is \u2014 wary of formulas and simple narratives of love. After all, there is always more to the story. (More than you could fit in, say, a newspaper column.)Ms. Catron, now 44, and Mr. Bondyra, 49, first met in February 2011, when she was teaching a writing class at the University of British Columbia, where she is a lecturer. It was a continuing education course for community members, and Mr. Bondyra, a user experience designer and business analyst, enrolled.\u201cI took the class, and I was very struck by Mandy,\u201d Mr. Bondyra said. \u201cShe\u2019s a really good teacher and she\u2019s very passionate about the subject.\u201d He ended the course with a few new friends \u2014 and a bit of a crush on his teacher. Over the next few years, they occasionally ran into each other at their climbing gym, and stayed in touch on social media and through mutual friends from the class.ImageMs. Catron and Mr. Bondyra had their first date in July 2014, during which they stared into each other\u2019s eyes for four minutes.Credit...Henry F. ImageThe two had replicated a scientific experiment \u201cdesigned to create romantic love.\u201dCredit...Henry F. When Mr. Bondyra offered to go to an art exhibit with Ms. Catron in July 2014, she thought they were going as friends. Unbeknown to her, he had recently become single and embarked on his \u201csummer of irresponsibility,\u201d as he called it. One of his goals was to go on a date with her.That\u2019s how they ended up spending hours together, first at a Douglas Coupland exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery, and then at the Morrissey, a bar in downtown Vancouver, where they did the 36 questions. She had wanted to try the questions for a long time, but was waiting for the right person.\u201cOne of Mark\u2019s best qualities is that he is really up for trying anything, so he immediately was like yes, let\u2019s do this,\u201d Ms. Catron said. \u201cIt felt very thrilling.\u201dMs. Catron realized it was a date when, in response to one of the questions, Mr. Bondyra said, \u201cYou have nice legs.\u201d She laughed, thinking back to the moment. \u201cI was like, \u2018Well, this is a date.\u2019\u201dBeyond the intimacy forged by the questions, they bonded over a love of books, writing, cycling and rock climbing. To Ms. Catron, Mr. Bondyra seemed \u201clike the kind of person other people felt glad to know.\u201d She knew how deeply their mutual friends admired his character, and wanted to get to know him better.She had a sense of confidence that he found attractive. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to describe, but she has this, like, American swagger,\u201d Mr. Bondyra said with a smile, likening it to the way that some New Yorkers will seamlessly strike up conversations with strangers in line.Ms. Catron grew up in Abingdon, Va. She has a bachelor\u2019s degree in English from Roanoke College in Salem, Va., and a master\u2019s degree in creative writing from American University in Washington, D.C.Mr. Bondyra was born in Wroclaw, Poland and immigrated to Canada as a child. He grew up primarily in Barrie, Ontario, and has a bachelor\u2019s degree in image arts from Toronto Metropolitan University.After their electrifying, experimental first date, they saw each other more, but there was a period when things between them went undefined. Over the next few months, they spent more time together, and grew closer. They became exclusive at the Parade of Lost Souls, a Halloween event in Vancouver, in 2014. One night that November, while out dancing and drinking with friends, Mr. Bondyra told Ms. Catron he loved her.ImageLani Brunn, a friend of the couple, officiated.

When her essay was published in early 2015, it was strange to see their love story become this \u201cimmediate case study,\u201d Ms. Catron said. Emails flooded her inbox. Millions of people read the article, and swaths of strangers were invested in whether or not they were still together. She felt protective over their new relationship and excited yet overwhelmed by the attention. She received requests to interview the two of them together, which she turned down.The fact that she has continued to write about love and their relationship is an experience that Mr. Bondyra enjoys. \u201cIt\u2019s an expansive way to think about our relationship,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a unique experience that not many people probably have, but I think it\u2019s great. I always like hearing what Mandy\u2019s thinking, and it\u2019s different in a written form.\u201dIn 2016, they moved in together in the Riley Park neighborhood of Vancouver. Ms. Catron\u2019s rescue dog, Roscoe, became their shared dog and the \u201cthird member\u201d of their love story, Mr. Bondyra said.They knew they wanted a future together, but for years, they decided not to get married. \u201cResearching love and relationships really changed how I thought about marriage,\u201d Ms. Catron said. \u201cI\u2019d really thought about marriage as, like, the ultimate expression of romantic love \u2014 and actually, that\u2019s a pretty modern idea.\u201dCommitting to one another without getting married was a way of \u201cacknowledging some of the problems with the institution,\u201d she added, \u201cand maybe resisting a little bit.\u201dImageA family coat of arms, designed by the couple, was featured on the menus at the reception.Credit...Henry F.ImageName cards included one of the 36 questions, written on the back, a nod to the beginning of their love story.Credit...Henry F. But then, things changed. They went through several challenging years. This included fertility treatments that didn\u2019t work, a pandemic pregnancy that turned out to be twins, a concerning diagnosis in the pregnancy and weeks of hospitalization before Ms. Catron gave birth.In September 2021, their twin sons were born. Throughout all of this, no one could visit her or meet the babies in the hospital because of Covid restrictions. Then, being home with two newborns in the pandemic was also difficult and isolating. \u201cIt was just a series of hard, hard things,\u201d Ms. Catron said. \u201cAnd people \u2014 our friends and family \u2014 really took care of us through that.\u201dAs pandemic restrictions eased and people started having events and weddings again, Ms. Catron became obsessed with the idea of having a big party. She wanted to have everyone they loved in a room together, to celebrate and thank the community who had helped them through such hard times.She raised the idea of having a commitment ceremony. Mr. Bondyra said if they were going to evoke a wedding spirit, he wanted to get married. For a while, they were at a bit of an impasse.\u201cWe didn\u2019t have a shared vision,\u201d Ms. Catron said.Then, in August 2024, they went to dinner at AnnaLena, a Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant in Vancouver. Ms. Catron\u2019s father had given them a gift certificate to the restaurant, and Ms. Catron made the reservation weeks in advance. As parents of toddlers, it was a rare and special outing.ImageThe couple hosted a reception for a about 70 guests at Chambar Restaurant in Vancouver.Credit...Henry F. As they ate a multicourse dinner of inventive dishes \u2014 think oysters presented in miniature coolers \u2014 Ms. Catron handed Mr. Bondyra a card, and a ring of wood and carbon fiber as a placeholder.She decided to propose after hearing a song she used to listen to in her 20s. It reminded her of how much \u201cromantic angst\u201d she had at that age, how she just wanted to be loved and worried about how it would all turn out. She realized that if her younger self could see her life now, with Mr. Bondyra and their family, she would be amazed. \u201cI wish I could show her, like, everything is OK,\u201d Ms. Catron said. \u201cIn fact, it\u2019s great.\u201dShe was excited to propose, to make that part of the ritual her own. Reading the card, Mr. Bondyra was truly surprised \u2014 a rare occurrence, he said. He said, \u201cOf course. Of course I\u2019ll marry you.\u201dBinge more Vows columns here and read all our wedding, relationship and divorce coverage here.On May 3, they were married in Pacific Spirit Regional Park in Metro Vancouver, with 11 guests. Lani Brunn, a friend of the couple and a wedding officiant registered through the Modern Ministers Association of Canada, officiated. They chose the park because it holds a special place in their family\u2019s life. They spent many hours there walking their dog Roscoe, who died last year. When their twins were babies, they would walk them around in the forest, trying to get them to sleep.The day was chilly, but the sun shone through the trees. The bride wore a borrowed leather jacket and rain boots as they walked through the forest, then changed into flats she had carried in the stroller. The couple walked down a makeshift aisle with their 3\u00bd-year-old sons.Afterward, they walked back to their house for a champagne toast, followed by a reception with about 70 guests at Chambar, a Belgian-inspired restaurant in Vancouver. They plan to have a second celebration at Ms. Catron\u2019s mother\u2019s home on Amelia Island, Fla., on May 17.At the reception, name cards on the tables featured a nod to the beginning of their love story: one of the 36 questions, written on the back. They had more of the questions in a bowl on the bar.It was a fun way to get people talking \u2014 and maybe the start of a few more love stories.ImageThe newlyweds share a dance at their reception.

On This DayWhen May 3, 2025Where Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Metro VancouverForest Music During the ceremony, the couple played music on a Bluetooth speaker. They walked in to \u201cStand By Me\u201d by Ben E. King, signed paperwork to \u201cDo You Realize??\u201d by the Flaming Lips and walked out to \u201cWouldn\u2019t It Be Nice\u201d by the Beach Boys.An Illustration of Family The couple designed a family coat of arms for the wedding, drawn by Ms. Catron and featured on the menus at the reception. It included some of their favorite things: an ice cream cone, a bicycle, some books, blueberry and huckleberry branches and their dog, Roscoe. Jen Gutierrez, a friend of the couple and their wedding planner, said the wedding was truly \u201ca celebration of their family.\u201dA version of this article appears in print on May 18, 2025, Section ST, Page 13 of the New York edition with the headline: Long After \u201836 Questions,\u2019 Finally Asking a Bigger One.
