We had been planning a vacation to Colorado for months. We were looking forward to exploring Avery's home state together, attending a concert at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and spending quality time with her family and best friends. Little did Avery know, this vacation was going to be one of the most memorable trips of her life!

During our trip, we visited the stunning Garden of the Gods Park, where we walked around and took pictures of the picturesque scenery. It was one of the first places Zach had gone to when he previously visited with Avery back after we graduated high school, so it was always a special spot for us. As we walked around and made our way to the end of a trail, Zach surprised Avery by getting down on one knee and asking her to marry him. Without hesitation, she said yes!

But, that wasn't the only surprise Zach had planned. As we walked back up the trail, Avery saw her whole family standing there, cheering for them. Her dad was also there, having flown in to surprise us on this special occasion. It was the perfect proposal in the most breathtaking setting, surrounded by the people Avery loved the most. Now, as we prepare to say "I do," we cherish the memories of that magical day in Colorado and look forward to a lifetime of love and adventure together!
