We met on 11 August 2017 at Creekside Pizza in Ashland, Oregon and started talking. On date two, Ariel met all of Ross’s family and extended family out at Lake of the Woods. We’ve talked every single day since.

Ross took Ariel to Cape Blanco State Park in Port Orford Oregon. We stayed in an amazing cabin and hiked up and down the Oregon coast. We explored an old lighthouse and found our way to the beach every evening. Ross proposed on the beach, at sunset and it was perfect.
