Our Proposal Story

03.29.2025

Our Canaan Valley weekend began like any other little escape - crisp mountain air, winding roads, and the kind of quiet you can only find in West Virginia. On our second day, we set out for a hike at Dolly Sods, only to find the road closed. With plans unexpectedly changed, we let adventure take the lead, choosing a random trail from AllTrails and seeing where it might take us. The path wound through forest and sunlight until it opened to a view that felt like it belonged in a painting - rolling mountains fading into the horizon, kissed by the sky. In that perfect, still moment, Chris turned to Shannon, knelt down, and asked the question that had been written in his heart for a long time. Shannon’s “yes” came easily, joyfully, and the mountains seemed to stand witness as our forever began.
