Young couple Daniel Gray and Kathleen Starrie learned this firsthand when Daniel made the trip from New Zealand to Kathleen’s home in Edmonton, Canada for a visit.

The change of scenery was pretty drastic for Daniel, so Kathleen’s mom came up with an idea: “I didn’t want [Daniel] to just be twiddling his thumbs while he’s here in Canada so I thought, this needs to be something that’s got some meat to it.â€

And that’s when she proposed that the pair build an igloo. Yes…an igloo!

In fact, Kathleen’s parents (who didn’t want the young couple getting too cozy) had already prepared for the undertaking months in advance. They’d already frozen cartons of colored water, all that was left was assembly.

And it wasn’t easy! The foundation had to be laid out carefully.

The family revealed that much of the work was accomplished despite the weather dipping to -13 degrees!

But even the super cold weather didn’t interfere with the amazing result!

After about 150 hours of work and 500 ice blocks, Daniel and Kathleen had an awesome, colorful igloo.

With a light inside, it even shines brilliantly at night.

While it’s likely Daniel might want to do something more romantic (in warmer surroundings) in the future, there’s no doubt he and Kathleen will treasure these photos and memories forever.
