We're still going through with it!

Beth and Peter met through rugby, as they both played on Tucson teams. After a few years of knowing each other simply as rugby acquaintances, and through the persistence of mutual friends, they finally went out on a date. The rest is history.

Peter knew Beth was "the one" so when he was ready to propose, he coordinated with her brother and sister to make it a wonderful, romantic event. The siblings helped Peter to plan a great trip to New Zealand for her birthday in 2019. One of the things they did on their trip was to ride the luge in Queensland. To get to the top of the mountain, Beth and Peter had to ride a gondola up. As they were lifted to the mountaintop, Beth was greatly admiring the spectacular views. She was so excited, she ran back and forth from one side of the gondola to the other. This is when Peter revealed a deep, dark secret about himself to his beloved. "Stop flopping around like a fish!" Peter protested of Beth's movement which caused the gondola to sway back and forth. As it turns out, Peter is afraid of heights. Beth realized the problem and sat next to Peter the rest of the way up the mountain. Later in the afternoon, with a heart full of love, Peter overcame his fear! After a terrific afternoon of lugeing around the mountaintop. While riding the gondola down the mountain, Peter surprised Beth with the best part of their trip when he left his seat, got down on one knee, and proposed to her on the way down the mountain.
