From the outset, Charles-Alfred often has to travel for business purposes, from Pointe-Sèche where he lives, to the neighbouring village of Saint-André. However, there are reasons other than professional ones for these frequent visits. It is in Saint-André that he meets the person who will share his life for many years. Émilie Dumont is the daughter of Rémi Dumont and Léa St-Pierre. Their wedding is celebrated in the church of Saint-André on August 12, 1867.
