Liam waited for a snow-covered backdrop for his carefully planned proposal. He confessed to me during our planning that he was not as good of a skier as Nicole. A few days before, Liam and I had a call to go over final details. On our call Liam shared he’d hurt his shoulder while practicing skiing, so we needed to adjust the plan a bit. Instead of meeting mid-run, we decided we’d still meet Nicole at the summit for a hot chocolate break at noon. Liam and I rode the gondola up early, the wind whipping as we searched for the perfect spot to wait.
The summit felt magical, fresh powder, soft flakes, and that peaceful hush that only happens on snowy days. (Even with the wind) When Nicole arrived, bundled up and smiling, Liam took a breath and stepped forward. In the middle of the trail, he asked the question. Nicole’s face lit up instantly. The perfect winter moment and she said yes.
In the excitement, Liam realized he’d forgotten the hot chocolate entirely. Luckily, I came prepared. So champagne replaced cocoa. And we managed to make our own “champagne powder” as they celebrated at the summit, snow falling around them and the mountain stretching quietly below.
Are you getting ready to plan your proposal?
I’d love to help! Just so you know, most who reach out have no plans at all. Turning vague ideas into a thrilling plan is my specialty.
