[October 16, 2016] During our Sophomore year of high school at Holy Family, during the Homecoming dance, Gavin asked Victoria to dance. At the time, unbeknownst to her -Gavin did not know her name, and had to ask a mutual friend to tell him late that evening. Despite not knowing Victoria's name, he thought she looked very pretty, although he would not have admitted this to her at the time. [October ??, 2019] Fast forward to, after being tangentially friends throughout all of high school, Victoria and Gavin reconnected. A few passing remarks were made, mostly small talk with no real goal in mind. [November ??, 2019] Gavin got his jeep, AKA "Lucy," and sent all his friends a picture to show off his new car. This included Victoria, who it turns out has a slight infatuation with jeeps and offroading. This was the start of more regular conversations now that the pair had something in common to discuss. [March 12, 2020] Gavin, seemingly out of the blue sent a rather lengthy text. This text was his awkward way of asking Victoria on a date. Which he thought might ruin the budding friendship they had. Luckily for him Victoria was on board! [May 21, 2020] Gavin and Victoria went on their first date, a hike at Crosier Mountain. They hiked up and had a couple hours of wonderful conversation. After the hike, they had a picnic lunch before Gavin dropped Victoria off at her house. A rounding success for both parties, as they both fully intended to see each other again. [June 1, 2024] After just more than 4 years of dates and getting to know each other, Gavin hatched a plan to propose to Victoria. He wanted to do it at the location of their first date, but had to think of a way to get Victoria there without rousing her suspicions as they had not returned to the location since their very first date. Gavin decided the only option was to disguise his plan as a sunrise hike. The morning of, Gavin convinced Victoria to get up at the early hour of 3:00 A.M. This time could not come soon enough for Gavin, who spent all night tossing and turning hoping his plan would go off successfully. After a short drive, they were at the trailhead and ready to hike up the mountain in the dark. After climbing up the sets of ridges to the top where the sunrise would be visible, Gavin made the pair a light breakfast. Gavin was unable to eat much as his nerves had both kept him up all night and had nearly made him sick all morning. After breakfast, Gavin produced a set of questions to entertain the both of them, and after answering the questions, Gavin said that he had just one last question for Victoria. At this moment, he offered the ring and asked Victoria to marry him. --Since you are reading this, Victoria obviously said yes!--
