Our story began inside the University of Montana Commons while grabbing lunch with mutual friends in-between class. This brief introduction left no indication of what the future held for us. Fast forward four years, Courtney returned to Missoula where Thane was wrapping up his degree. While student teaching, Courtney began spending time with her old friend group and the couple were once again reintroduced. This introduction quickly became a friendship that evolved into a love interest. We are unbelievably happy to say that love interest revealed two soul mates who had finally met their match spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally. After dating for one year, it became clear that waiting any longer was wasting time. So while on a hike with their beloved pup, Thane got down on one knee and proposed. 2 years worth of memories later and we’ve danced at music festivals, moved around the city, doted on our three pets, went back to school, and (barely) survived quarantine. We can’t wait for this exciting new chapter to begin and see what new adventures await! - Thane
