We're Getting Married!

We met in the 14-15 winter season at Boreal Mountain working for Ski Patrol. I was working as the new dispatcher and Dimitri was a supervisor. It started as a simple friendship. I would spend my off days at the mountain working on my skiing skills and Dimitri would tag along to give tips. During shifts, we would hang out together in the first aid room during our breaks. We enjoyed grabbing dinner, going dancing, or hanging out at Dimitri’s house with friends. This close friendship quickly became two best friends who fell in love.

In 2019, we spent our summer exploring the islands in Greece. Our plan was to spend our anniversary on our favorite island, Naxos. We arrived to the island, unloaded our packs, and went straight to the beach. We laid in the sun and swam for most of the day. We decided to visit one of our favorite restaurants on the beach. After dinner, we walked along the water as the sunset. As we were walking, Dimitri stopped and asked a few people sitting on the beach to take our photo. I thought it was taking him a long time to explain how the camera works. After posing for a few photos, Dimitri turned to me and began to explain his love for me. Before I knew it he was on one knee asking me to marry him. **Extra funny detail: the woman taking our photos kept saying “yooohoooo, look at me” throughout the entire proposal, making us both laugh. As she later explained, she was so focused on taking our picture that she failed to notice that Dimitri was proposing.**
