They first met at a man-made spring with two mutual friends. It was the beginning of Spring and the stream was getting high quickly. Clarissa & Donovan sat at the top of the tunnel and quickly got along talking about video games and music. Clarissa's friend gave Donovan her number and they became closer since.
Donovan proposed to Clarissa in the summer at Bridal Veil Falls in Provo, Utah. He hiked her to one of their favorite spots and asked her to marry him in front of the waterfall.
