After dating for what they both will say were the best five years of their life, Mitchell decided to propose to Claire when they were on a ski trip in Breckenridge, Colorado. They enjoyed a gorgeous day skiing, went for a drink in town, and then Mitchell insisted they head home so that he could make his infamous home-made pasta sauce. Claire per usual attempted to extend their time shopping and exploring Breckenridge village, but compromised to venture home with Mitchell's convincing of excellent wine and even better views of the mountain sunset. Once home Mitch built a fire and opened a nice bottle of wine for Claire to sip on as she watched him cook and she played their favorite jazzy dinner songs. The pasta was almost ready and the sun was setting, so Mitch told Claire to head outside so they could savor their wine and watch the sun set over the mountains. Claire settled outside and noticed how absolutely perfect the sunset was, and also how happy she was to be right where she wanted to be with the love her life. Mitchell met her outside, turned to Claire with teary eyes, and swung to his knee to ask her to marry him. Claire obviously exclaimed, "OF COURSE!" and afterwards they enjoyed their favorite vacation celebrating their engagement in one of their favorite places together!
