Jared and Courtney met through a mutual friend, going out to dinner for Courtney's birthday. The first time they hung out that night, Courtney refused to even ride up front with Jared because "I don't know him!" After that night, they started going to the gym together and hanging out more frequently. Finally, Courtney invited Jared to a Magic show put on by her colleague, Dr. Mazzola. After the Magic show, they went for dinner and a walk, and the rest is history. About a year and a half later, Jared took Courtney on a walk down that very same trail, and asked her to marry him - and of course Courtney said yes!!
