Taking a walk down memory lane, we originally met in a 'venture crew' that we did outside of high school, which was a fun group of boy and girl scouts! We instantly connected over our passion for the outdoors, loved going hiking and camping together. After about two years of being friends we finally said yes to being a couple! It only took about 11 years and a ton of adventures later for the ultimate question.. "Will you marry me?" The question was popped during our stay in PARIS with a surprise photographer and the eiffel tower behind us! The most romantic, and unforgettable moment we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with our closest loved ones, and friends. With love always, Derek & Courtney
