We met on a night out with friends on Edmonton's Whyte Ave, it also happened to be Landon's 21st birthday! While we (Maria) didn't think much of it then, Landon was quick to ask Maria on a coffee date when they crossed paths again at U of A. This date was followed by two more dates...all in the same week. The rest is history.
Landon travelled to Colombia with Maria's family for the first time in March of 2024. It was here that he found the ring with the help of Maria's dad and family. What followed was an elaborate scheme to find the "picture perfect" spot for Landon to propose, only to realize the perfect spot would be at her dad's farm, on the balcony, drinking their morning coffee.
