Our engagement took place on March 1st 2024, in the middle of the biggest blizzard Tahoe had seen in five years. Amanda spent the morning skiing enjoying the fresh powder and thinking, This is the best day ever. Meanwhile, Sarah was at the ski lodge with the rest of the group, coordinating what Amanda didn’t know was a carefully planned proposal.

Early in their relationship, Amanda had shared her dream of being proposed to on a ski mountain and then skiing down to celebrate. Sarah had been planning for six months to turn that dream into reality.

When the skiers met up at mid-mountain, the group suggested stepping back outside for photos—despite the blizzard. Amanda was surprised but went along, only to find Sarah suddenly down on one knee, holding a ring, and asking, “Will you spend the rest of my life with me?” Overwhelmed with love and happiness, Amanda nodded, cried, and barely registered the ring itself in the moment. Then Sarah reminded her, “Now you have to ski down the mountain, just like your dream proposal,” and it hit Amanda that Sarah had remembered and planned everything perfectly.

The day was already special, but it became the best day of our lives. Surrounded by friends, family, and the magic of Tahoe. It was a moment full of love, joy, and the start of forever.
