In March of 2018, Matt and Alanna traveled to Vancouver Island together. They spent the day hiking through a rainforest outside of Nanaimo until they came upon a waterfall. With the roaring water as a perfect backdrop, Matt suggested they set a timer on his cellphone and take a selfie together. He set his phone against a log, began the timer, and just before the picture was taken-he got down on one knee and asked Alanna to marry him. Are you thinking this sounds over-the-top, fairytale-like, and ridiculous? Well, yes, it is. But there is no other way to explain it, he absolutely nailed this proposal. And, for some reason, she said yes.
