Marie and Kevin embarked on an adventure to the Clifty Wilderness Area, nestled beside the breathtaking Red River Gorge. This trip wasn't just any weekend getaway; it was a celebration of their one-year anniversary. Little did Marie know—or so Kevin hoped—this trip was also the backdrop for a momentous event he had been planning.

The couple set off on a six-mile backcountry hike, armed with a GPS to navigate the rugged terrain. They trekked through the forest and even braved the icy waters of the Red River. Kevin's heart pounded with anticipation, and though he tried to keep his secret proposal under wraps, Marie's intuition told her something special was in the air.

Their journey led them to the awe-inspiring Red Byrd Arch. As they arrived a large tree branch fell and landed a mere twenty feet away, as if nature itself was bearing witness to their moment. Kevin being the majestic caring man he is, swiftly grabbed Marie and pulled her to safety under the arch.

Undeterred by the sudden commotion, Kevin gazed into Marie's eyes and asked her to marry him. Surrounded by the beauty and wildness of the Clifty Wilderness, she said yes, marking the beginning of their next great adventure together.
