Jeff and Courtnie, who now spend most of their free time together with their adorable dogs, were introduced by mutual friends after an Arizona State football game.

Both of them were skeptical as neither of Jeff or Courtnie were looking for a relationship and didn’t expect anything to come of that night. Later that evening, they were introduced at a bar called Robbie Fox’s and the connection was undeniable. From that day forward, these two have been inseparable.

Courtnie and Jeff have made a few trips to Southern California during their relationship and have grown very fond of that area. The beach, the sunsets, the cool weather, what isn’t to like?

Jeff had been holding on to the ring for a little over a month, waiting for the perfect time to surprise Courtnie with a weekend away without it being too obvious. Courtnie is a teacher and they headed to the beach, as celebration of her finishing another school year.

On the night of the proposal, Jeff told Courtnie they should head to a nice dinner. They got there early so they went to the cliffs of the nearby beach and started watching the sunset. That is when Jeff got down on one knee and popped the question. They even have the sand from that beach in a bottle that sits on a shelf in our living room to this day.
