    Harbour and Allen, 36, got engaged just before COVID-19 hit.

    ‘We were riding around beginning of pandemic and we were riding bikes out in the country trying to figure out what we were gonna do for the next year or however long it was going to take,’ Harbour explained.

    ‘And the little one was riding along and she was going like, ‘David, dad, David, dad.’ Because the D got her confused. And the older one got very upset with that, which I understand. She was like, ‘He’s not our dad! He’s not our dad!” 

    ‘And then younger one was like, ‘Well what is he? He’s kind of our dad.’ She’s like, ‘No he’s not, he’s our stepdad.’ And she goes, ‘What is he?’ And she goes, ‘He’s just some guy in our lives!”

    Harbour said: ‘I was like, ‘I need to marry this woman’… Because the emotional fallout.’
