Kortney + Ryan proposal

On one of those long days during the Covid lockdown, Kortney found herself creating a dating profile on Match.com. Using a profile picture of herself, as little information as she could, and the pseudo name “Amanda,” Kortney quickly hit submit and her profile was live. Later, the feelings of regret came but before she deactivated her profile for good, a message caught her attention, or rather, a guy. Ryan and Kortney (also known as Amanda on her profile) had their first date at a local bar before ending the night with wine and puzzle. I guess you could say, everything fell into place!

After a busy weekend with both of their families at Whistler Blackcomb Mountain, Kortney and Ryan found themselves wishing for a minute to themselves. After lunch, Ryan asked Kortney if she wanted to sneak off to a cool selfie spot he had found, just the two of them. Being unable to turn down a good photo op and the chance to get a few moments alone with Ryan, she quickly agreed. After a short ski to the spot, they took off their ski gear and soaked in the scenery and its breathtaking views. Ryan had an idea to recreate a photo they both cherished and told Kortney to walk to the edge of the mountain and throw her hands up in the air while he snapped the photo. She obliged thinking nothing of it, but to her surprise, when she turned back around, Ryan was on one knee holding a little box with a not-so-little ring. Not only did they have their moment together, now they have a lifetime of them.
