Chrissy had recently moved back to Missoula and gotten out of a 2.5 year relationship. A close friend asked if she could come over and meet a friend that was also recently single and looking for a good woman. Chrissy secured childcare and went over to meet B-Rad. They connected right away and have been together ever since.
After a very long 2020 it was time for some positivity to start the new year. B-Rad shared his concerns of not knowing how to secretly get a ring size and being able to afford a ring he thought Chrissy deserves. So Chrissy took matters into her own hands and ordered him a ring, whiskey barrel with a guitar string inlay. When she saw the ring she knew it was perfect for him and set plans in motion to propose on his birthday. Once ordered and express shipping selected to insure it came on time, she received an email that the rings take weeks to build! Guilty and full of stress from not having a backup birthday gift she asked if he wanted to see his gift that was delayed. In the comfort of the home they purchased in 2017, she handed him her phone with a picture of the ring and got down on one knee. As he looked at what was happening, he asked "are you proposing to me right now?" And with that they were engaged.
