Kevin proposed the day after Thanksgiving at Courtney's family farm in Chillicothe, Ohio. This is a place near and dear to her heart, and with her family all at the farm for the holiday weekend, Kevin chose a perfect time to pop the question. They were on a walk in the 'holler' (hollow) with Ernie, and Kevin got down on one knee. He said he knew from their first date that he was going to marry Courtney. (Courtney said she knew when shortly after they began dating, Kevin volunteered to pick her up at the airport at 3:30AM after her flight had been delayed several hours. He had to be up and ready to go to work only two hours later). After the proposal, Kevin and Courtney were able to celebrate with a champagne toast with her parents, her brother's family, and her aunt and uncle. They are choosing to get married at the farm because of that special moment and because of their shared love for nature, small rural towns, antique tractors, and all things "farm".
