It was a Tuesday, roughly 11:00am, when Nicole and Curtis both decided it was time to start their day off with a Campfire Stout. They sat a few barstools down from one another at an empty Joe Caribes exchanging subtle glances and drinking the same dark beer. A few minute chat turned into a barstool relocation and a 3 hour conversation both of them could not get enough of. After realizing they were both now late to their previous commitments, they parted ways exchanging numbers. The rest is history.

At this time Curtis and Nicole were apart for a month while he travelled solo through South East Asia. They were to reunite in Nepal for a 100 mile trek through the Himalayas on the Annapurna Circuit. After enduring 3 of the hardest days of Nicole's life through sweat, tears, and breath taking scenery they made it to 11,000 ft to Upper Pisang. Nicole headed straight to the room to lay down and rest her legs but Curtis had other plans. After convincing her to get back up and hike another 3 flights of stairs to a Buddhist Monastery they witnessed the most epic views of snow covered mountain peaks as far as the eye could see. Tricking her into taking a picture facing the beautiful landscape Curtis set up a video camera got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.
