Thanks to Hinge, Brooklyn and Cole found themselves on a first date! Brooklyn had been striking out left and right with dating and Cole wasn't looking for anything serious. Cole won Brooklyn over with his big smile, goofy jokes, and loyalty. Brooklyn won Cole over with her down to earth nature and ambition. The pair continued to go on dates every weekend afterward!
After 4 months of dates, Brooklyn and Cole were growing closer. One night on a group date, friends asked the pair what their relationship status was. Following an awkward pause, Cole answered that they were basically together. Afterward, Brooklyn made him promise to formally ask her to be his girlfriend. Cole held up his promise and asked on a spontaneous midnight McDonald's run!
After lots of scheming and months of anticipation, Cole popped the question! A full day's worth of date activities followed by a snowy proposal in the canyon made for a perfect day. Cole had spent the day prior scouting out a location but the first snow of the season closed the road up to the proposal site. So at the last minute, Brooklyn's siblings found an unmarked trail leading up to a waterfall to set everything up at. Little did they realize, it happened to be the exact location Brooklyn's parents took their engagement photos at 28 years prior! To top the night off, Cole and Brooklyn's family surprised her by flying her brother in to celebrate!
