We're getting married!

A year prior to dating, Courtney and Sean were introduced to each other through mutual friends. Though the timing was not right, they both shared an immediate attraction. The following year, Sean expressed his interest to Courtney at a Cinco de Mayo party. Unfortunately, Courtney had just accepted a job in San Diego and was moving at the end of summer. Despite this, they decided to take a chance on love and see where their relationship would go. Now three years later, they are excited to share the next chapter of their lives: as Mr and Mrs. Johnson!

The "Shadow of the Giants" 20k Trail Run has been a tradition for Courtney and her mother the past few years. Wanting to introduce Sean to the exhilaration of trail running, Courtney invited him to come along. With no small amount of hesitation, Sean agreed to the race; however, unbeknownst to Courtney, he had a surprise in store. Gathering their immediate family at the finish line, Sean planned for a surprise proposal right after the race. There, sweaty and exhausted, he got down on one knee to ask the most important question of his life. She didn't hesitate to say YES!
